The uneven reach of the state: A novel approach to mapping local state presence
The ability of states to exercise authority often varies considerably within their borders, yet we lack reliable empirical measures of the uneven reach of states. In this paper, we develop a methodology to predict state presence at granular spatial resolutions and demonstrate the approach using data from Sub-Saharan Africa. We link a range of indicators of state presence, e.g., infrastructural data, with geolocated survey data of residents’ exper…
Entrepreneurship and human capital development in children: The case of Tanzania
This paper examines the contribution of household non-farm enterprises (NFEs) to human capital development in children, measured through child labour and schooling.

Both contemporaneous and dynamic analyses are performed separately for boys and girls and for diffe…
