    Open AccessJules Médard Nana Djomo, Boniface Ngah Epo et al.ARTICLEPoverty & Public Policy2025References: 9

    This study contributes to the understanding of how institutional quality influences the relationship between natural resources and poverty. The study uses data from 80 countries over a period ranging from 1996 to 2020, enabling a robust temporal and cross‐sectional analysis. We use four methods, namely (i) the Generalized Method of Moments utilized to address endogeneity issues, ensuring that the estimates are robust and reliable; (ii) Feasible G…

    Jules Médard Djomo Nana, Boniface Ngah EpoARTICLEJournal of Poverty2023References: 2

    This paper analyzes the relationship between extreme poverty and road fatalities in sub-Saharan Africa using a panel of 42 countries over the period 1990–2014. We adopt the two-step system GMM method and a two-stage estimation framework to check for robustness of the relationship between road fatalities and extreme poverty. Our study finds a positive and significant relationship between deaths from road accidents and extreme poverty for overall r…

    This article investigates the direct and indirect effects of female education on full-time labour market employment using Guinean demographic and health surveys. It addresses potential endogeneity of female education, unobserved heterogeneity and sample selectivity concerns using the control function model and a non-self-cluster identification strategy. Results show that female education has a diminishing direct effect on full-time employment, wi…
