  • The Political Economy of Contemporary Youth in Cameroon

    Parfait M Eloundou‐enyegue, Parfait Eloundou-Enyegue et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of the Economy of…2023

    This paper is a conjecture on Cameroon's socioeconomic prospects and trajectory between now (2020) and the mid-point of this century. Gazing into the future is a necessary chore. Any scientist venturing outside the Ivory tower will invariably be invited to join policy efforts to plan the future or, at least, to debate possible scenarios and steer societies away from the least desirable outcomes. While these policy efforts initially sought to plan…

  • Mortality convergence of twins and singletons in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessRoland Pongou, David Shapiro et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2019References: 9

    While there is a substantial amount of literature documenting that twins have higher mortality than singletons, that literature does not address the questions of whether this disadvantage of twins eventually disappears and if so, at what age

  • African Transitions and Fertility Inequality

    Open AccessParfait Eloundou‐enyegue, Parfait M Eloundou‐enyegue et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Development Review2017Cited by: 12References: 35

    Is Africa is different?” The question permeates the debate over Africa's fertility transitions, whether analysts ponder the causes, the consequences, or the socioeconomic patterns of these transitions. Do Africa's transitions occur at a lower threshold of economic development compared to, say, Latin American countries (Bongaarts and Casterline 2013; Bongaarts, this volume)? Will they yield a demographic dividend, as was the case among the Asian T…

  • Households’ Willingness to Pay for Health Microinsurance and its Impact on Actual Take-up

    Jacopo Bonan, Philippe Lemay-Boucher et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2014

    Community-based health insurance schemes (CBHIS) have been present in the region of Theis, Senegal, for many years. Yet, despite the benefits they offer, take-up rates remain low. This article measures the willingness to pay (WTP) for CBHIS premiums in such a context; our results highlight the role of income, wealth and risk preferences as determinants of WTP. We also provide an analysis of the predictive power of WTP on the actual take-up of ins…

  • Performance Analysis for a Sample of Microfinance Institutions in India

    Open AccessAlain De Crombrugghe, Michel Tenikue et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Public and Cooperative…2008Cited by: 2References: 5

    We use regression analysis to study the determinants of self‐sustainability of a sample of microfinance institutions in India. These institutions stand out by their ability and willingness to report financial and operational data to Sa Dhan, a know‐how sharing organization. We investigate particularly three aspects of sustainability: cost coverage by revenue, repayment of loans and cost‐control. Our results suggest that the challenge of covering …
