Does reducing the length of school cycles affect Women's fertility? Quasi-Experimental evidence from Ghana

Our study focuses on women with equivalent educational levels, for whom the reform ultimately affected school cycles, to identify the effect. Our findings reveal a sharp decline of 0.46 years in basic education and 0.7…

A decomposition analysis of microcredit welfare gaps in Ghana. A gender analysis

Using the sixth (2012/2013) and seventh (2016/2017) rounds of the Ghana Living Standards Survey, and applying t…
Modelling the informal sector and energy consumption in Ghana
The International Monetary Fund (2017) defines the informal sector as unrecorded economic activities that possess monetary value and contribute to tax revenue and gross domestic product. This sector accounts for a huge percentage of economic activity in sub-Saharan Africa and given the numerous regulations on the formal sector it may grow further. Since the activities of the informal sector are unrecorded, how does its energy demand affect nation…
