Migration, gender, and inequities in agrarian service access in Northern Ghana
Migration has long shaped agrarian livelihoods in Northern Ghana, where north – south mobility is a key strategy for managing environmental risk, economic precarity, and uneven development. Although previous studies show that migrant households often benefit from remittances and improved agricultural investment, less is known about how migration reshapes who gains access to agricultural services and under what structural conditions. Drawing on a …
An Extended and Relational Photovoice Design: Methodological Reflections
Photovoice is a powerful method for centring participants’ perspectives in research and policy. It can provide a platform for marginalised groups to share their stories and inform policy change. However, its application to studying dyadic relationships, in particular labour relations, is limited, as multi-perspective designs are largely absent. Moreover, methodological clarity, especially in relation to analysis, is often lacking. This article pr…
Does Social Transformation Drive Out-Migration? Perceptions and Changes
Migration and social transformation are major drivers of socio-economic development. Yet, the linkages between social transformation and migration in Ghana are poorly understood. This article seeks to shed light on how social transformation affects or is affected by migration, using mixed methods with transformationalist and social change theoretical lenses. At the same time, there have been retrogressive transformations in the economic condition…
Aid to Africa’s agriculture towards building physical capital: Empirical evidence and implications for post-Covid-19 food insecurity
Managing the Covid-19 pandemic in poor urban neighborhoods: The case of Accra and Johannesburg
Without a vaccine, practicing social distancing and protective hygiene are the most effective measures to curb the spread of COVID-19. In order to understand how the urban poor mitigate their risk of infection, we conducted a survey with more than 1,400 poor households in two of the African cities with the most COVID-19 infections, Accra and Greater Johannesburg, early in the pandemic, during lockdowns of public life. We find that many of the urb…

Foreign Direct Investment in Africa: The Role of Natural Resources, Market Size, Government Policy, Institutions and Political Instability
Data from several investor surveys suggest that macroeconomic instability, investment restrictions, corruption and political instability have a negative impact on foreign direct investment (FDI) to Africa. However, the relationship between FDI and these country characteristics has not been studied. This paper uses panel data for 22 countries over the period 1984–2000 to examine the impact of natural resources, market size, government policies, po…

On the Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment to Developing Countries: Is Africa Different
Ownership Structure in Foreign Direct Investment Projects
This paper theoretically and empirically examines ownership structure in foreign direct investment (FDI) projects. We show that in choosing an ownership structure, foreign investors, local entrepreneurs, and government consider the specific, costly-to-market assets that the participants and the country bring to the project. In equilibrium, the foreign equity share rises with the importance of foreign investor assets and declines with the contribu…
