  • The African Political Business Cycle

    Paul Mosley, Blessing ChiripanhuraARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2016

    We seek to understand both the incidence and the impact of the African political business cycle in the light of a literature which has argued that, with major extensions of democracy since the 1990s, the cycle has both become more intense and has made African political systems more fragile. With the help of country case studies, we argue, first, that the African political business cycle is not homogeneous, and occurs relatively infrequently in so…

  • The Politics of What Works for the Poor in Public Expenditure and Taxation

    Paul MosleyCHAPTERPolitics of Inclusive Development2014

    This chapter examines which fiscal options work in terms of poverty reduction. It argues that although the poor, acting on their own, are politically weak, there are ways in which they can make themselves essential to the elite This in combination with relevant policies and institutions has enabled poverty, in some countries and regions, to fall dramatically. Nonetheless some have been excluded from this process. The chapter identifies the follow…

  • Where is the ‘Plus’ in ‘Credit-Plus’? The Case of Chiapas, Mexico

    Olga Biosca, Pamela Lenton et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2014

    It has become common to try and increase the effectiveness of microfinance programmes by adding supplementary services to the financial product. However, the added value accruing from this ‘credit-plus’ approach has been little analysed. We hypothesise that the extent of added value from credit-plus depends on the ability of the credit supplier to cultivate trust, or social capital, amongst clients. Applying difference-in-difference estimation, w…

  • Fiscal Composition and Aid Effectiveness

    Open AccessPaul MosleyARTICLEWorld Development2014Citada por: 1Referências: 5

    In the long run tax effort, we argue, determines the effectiveness of aid, and this relationship operates simultaneously with the negative link in the opposite direction observed by Bräutigam and Knack (2004) and others. Tax effort and the ability of the state to diversify its taxation structure, we find, are significantly linked to growth and poverty indicators. The key message for policy is that a broadening of the tax structure in low-income c…

  • Financial Exit Routes from the ‘Poverty Trap’

    Open AccessPamela Lenton, Paul MosleyARTICLEUrban Studies2014Citada por: 2Referências: 14

    Potentially, community development finance institutions (CDFIs) represent a promising complement to the welfare system in its attempts to reduce poverty, since they provide finance to the financially excluded and potentially remove a barrier to their acquisition of assets. Drawing on a new survey of around 360 households in four UK cities, surveyed both before and after the 2008/09 recession, it is found that a major factor determining whether lo…

  • Sir Arthur Lewis

    Open AccessBarbara Ingham, Paul MosleyBOOKSir Arthur Lewis2013

    Sir Arthur Lewis was the first development economist, the first Afro-Caribbean to hold a professorial chair at a British university and the first black man to win the Nobel prize for economics. However, he believed his contributions to the well-being of the poor through social and political activism were as important as his economics

  • Marvellous Intellectual Feasts

    Barbara Ingham, Paul MosleyARTICLEHistory of Political Economy2013Referências: 15

    This article is concerned with the decade and a half spent by the development economist Arthur Lewis at the London School of Economics between 1933 and 1948. It discusses the intellectual traditions of the institution that Lewis joined and the various influences on the young economist. His research and teaching roles in London and Cambridge are covered, together with his work for the Fabian Society and his links with the anti-imperialist movement…

  • The Politics of Poverty Reduction

    Paul Mosley, Blessing Chiripanhura et al.BOOKThe politics of poverty reduction2012

    The aim is to understand the political processes which determine why poverty has been on a falling trend in some countries and not in others. The focus is on the developing world and on the period since 1980, although some country case studies cover a longer historical period going back to the beginning of the twentieth century. The analysis is based partly on comparisons across all developing countries and partly on case studies of nine of them.…

  • Poverty and Exclusion in North and South

    Elizabeth Dowler, Paul MosleyBOOKPoverty and Exclusion in North…2005

    Over the past decade there has been a worrying increase in poverty in the industrialised countries of the North, while many of the developing countries of the South have experienced some improvement. This collection argues that there are a number of likenesses between the predicaments of North and South, and that these warrant further investigation and analysis.

  • Microfinance, the Labour Market and Social Inclusion

    Open AccessPaul Mosley, Lucy SteelARTICLESocial Policy and Administration2004Citada por: 2Referências: 22

    Great hopes have been held out for microfinance and other community development finance institutions (CDFIs) in industrialized countries as an instrument of “financially sustainable welfare provision”, following on from their success in many developing countries. Using interview data drawn from an exploratory sample of 45 clients, this paper examines the social and economic impact of three microfinance institutions in Glasgow, Sheffield and Belfa…

  • Aid, Poverty Reduction and the ‘New Conditionality’

    Open AccessPaul Mosley, Jonell Hudson et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2004Citada por: 35Referências: 26

    The paper examines the effect of aid on poverty, rather than on economic growth. We devise a 'pro‐poor (public) expenditure index', and present evidence that, together with inequality and corruption, this is a key determinant of the aid's poverty leverage. After presenting empirical evidence which suggests a positive leverage of aid donors on pro‐poor expenditure, we argue for the development of conditionality in a new form, which gives greater f…

  • A simple technology for poverty-oriented project assessment

    Paul MosleyARTICLEImpact Assessment and Project…2001

    The challenge confronting sponsors of aid is to design tools which will enable rational decisions to be made at lower financial and organisational cost than those which caused orthodox economic and social cost-benefit analysis to fail. This paper presents a framework for the assessment of distributional impact and illustrates the impact measurement tool and its method of calculation. This tool reconciles the requirements of low cost and reasonabl…

  • Microfinance and Poverty in Bolivia

    Paul MosleyARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2001

    Both in its institutional range and in its penetration of financial markets, the microfinance sector in Bolivia rivals any in the world, and has played a major part in extracting the macro-economy from meltdown since the mid-1980s. We seek specifically to assess its impact on poverty, and do this through small-sample surveys on four microfinance institutions, two urban and two rural, using a range of poverty concepts: income (generated both throu…
