Emotional and physical burdens of water poverty: Evidence from the drinking water service ladder in Mozambique
Access to safe and reliable drinking water remains uneven across sub-Saharan Africa, yet existing evidence largely focuses on health outcomes and binary measures of access, overlooking how different service levels affect everyday well-being. This study examines how the water service ladder shapes the emotional and physical burdens of water poverty and whether these effects differ by household head gender in Mozambique. Using nationally representa…
When Water Fetching Becomes Risky: Gender, Drought, and Human–Wildlife Conflict in Rural Zimbabwe
Recurrent droughts worsen water scarcity in rural Africa, heightening human–wildlife conflict (HWC) and interacting with gendered divisions of labour in water collection to shape patterns of risk exposure. This study examines the relationship between drought exposure, the gender of household water fetcher, and HWC risk, using nationally representative data from rural Zimbabwe. To address potential endogeneity arising from household self-selection…
Incidence and determinants of out-of-pocket health expenditure in Ethiopia 2012–16
This study assesses the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) and identifies the significant factors that expose households to higher levels of out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditure. Data from the fifth and the sixth Ethiopian National Health Accounts household surveys, which were conducted in 2012–13 and 2015–16, respectively, are used. The incidence of CHE is estimated using both the capacity-to-pay and the budget share approaches…
FinTech and women's entrepreneurship in Africa: The case of Burkina Faso and Cameroon
Our article examines the role of financial technology (FinTech) in improving the occupational choices of women in the global South. We analyse the link between FinTech and entrepreneurship, drawing on large data sets from central and western Africa that hold important novel policy implications for the wider Africa region. Our study helps to clarify if and when financial technology use may translate into self-employment, and how it can contribute …
The Complexity of Marriage in Rural Ethiopia: Parental Transfers and Post-marital Residence Choices
This paper examines the relationship between parental transfers and post-marital residence of children in rural Ethiopia. We investigate whether asset transfers to children are an avenue which parents use to secure old age. We model post-marital residence and transfers simultaneously in a two-stage probit least squares estimation framework. We find a positive relationship between transfers and post-marital residence, a proxy for old age support. …
Measuring individuals’ valuation distributions using a stochastic payment card approach: Application to solid waste management in Nigeria
Heterogeneity in returns to schooling: Econometric evidence from Ethiopia
The paper investigates whether returns to schooling in Ethiopia vary across the wages distribution of individuals. To do so it adopts an instrumental variables quantile regression framework that allows for both endogeneity of schooling resulting from unmeasured ability, and possible heterogeneity in the impact of schooling. The empirical estimates indicate that education contributes more to the earnings of the individuals at a lower end of the in…
