The role of the right valuation method in setting the firm’s break-even price for mpox (and other) vaccines
Critical voices on unfairly high mpox and other vaccine prices open the debate on the ‘right price’ to be paid to private vaccine suppliers. We apply compound real options analysis as a more appropriate valuation method to derive a correct firm’s break-even price. Real option models are better able to capture the development costs, associated risks and the embedded operational flexibility in vaccine development in a superior way compared with mor…
Valuing investments in the Global Carbon Market Mechanism as compound real options
The Global Carbon Market Mechanism (GCMM) aims to incentivize national or sub‐national actors to invest in climate mitigation projects at the same time as limiting the global costs of tackling global warming. Using the worked example of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), this article shows that the exact valuation of a mitigation project requires the application of compound real options techniques, as it is able to account for the multi‐stage…
Does Access to International Capital Markets Affect Investment Dynamics in Sub-Saharan Africa
This study investigates the influence of government borrowing through international capital markets on investment dynamics in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We apply the synthetic control method to Gabon, Ghana and Senegal to assess whether this kind of government borrowing affects public and private investment, and FDI in these countries using annual data for the period 1995–2017. Our results suggest that government borrowings through international c…

Indonesia's Debt-for-Development Swaps
This article systematically reviews recent debt-for-development swaps in Indonesia, the only debtor country where the number of such swaps warrants their being considered as a deliberate government debt-relief policy and development finance strategy. We show that the 11 swaps Indonesia has signed with its bilateral creditors since 2002 have performed rather erratically across four criteria: an increase in resources at the debtor country or govern…
Financing the Clean Development Mechanism through Debt-for-Efficiency Swaps? Case Study Evidence from a Uruguayan Wind Farm Project
An assessment of debt‐for‐education swaps. Case studies on swap initiatives between Germany and Indonesia and between Spain and El Salvador
A decade has passed since participants in the World Education Forum committed themselves to achieve, by 2015, the six Education for All (EFA) goals under the Dakar Framework for Action. Despite significant progress, some of the goals are likely to be missed by a large margin. Besides the absence of a well co‐ordinated multi‐donor approach in education, another major problem is the lack of funds: the EFA financing gap in low‐income countries is no…
The pitfalls and potential of debt-for-nature swaps
Comparaison des effets de réponse budgétaire de l'allégement de la dette
Dans le cadre des efforts entrepris par la communauté des bailleurs de fonds internationaux pour accroître l’aide à l’Afrique, un allégement substantiel de la dette a été accordé au cours des dernières années à travers l’Initiative en faveur des pays pauvres très endettés (PPTE) et son successeur, l’Initiative multilatérale d’allégement de la dette (IADM). Le présent article tente d’évaluer, pour un échantillon de 24 pays africains arrivés au moi…
