Implications of institutional quality for macroeconomic productivity in sub-Saharan Africa
Economic development is a priority for many nations in the Global South, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where institutional quality remains a challenge. This paper examines the implications of institutional quality for macroeconomic productivity in SSA using data from 38 countries between 2003 and 2020. We employ the generalized estimating equation population average model and the two-step system generalized method of moments to address this…
Impact of minimum wage violation on labor supply in Cameroon
The issue of minimum wage violation and labor supply is a major concern in many countries, including Cameroon. This paper investigates the dynamics of minimum wage violation and its effects on the labor supply using the 2005 and 2010 Cameroonian labor force surveys. Specifically, it assesses the incidence, depth and severity of minimum wage violation in the Cameroon labor market and evaluates the effects of minimum wage violation on labor supply …

Maternal education and child malnutrition in Cameroon
This paper seeks to investigate the role of housing quality on the relationship between maternal education and child malnutrition using the 2018 Cameroonian demographic and health survey. We employed the control function modelling and the non-self-cluster mean/proportion identification strategies to address potential endogeneity and sample selection concerns. Results indicate that: (a) women with less than ten years of schooling are more likely t…
The cost of keeping‐up with the Joneses
This paper examines the implications of keeping‐up with the Joneses for household food spending using a nationally representative data for Cameroon. Specifically, it employs the heteroskedasticity‐based identification strategy to address the endogeneity of relative deprivation and the recentred influence function (RIF) regression to account for heterogeneity in the effect of relative deprivation across percentiles. Mean regression results show th…
Cameroon’s Informal Labor Market
Cameroon’s informal labour market largely harbours female workers, engaged mainly in low-productivity and low-paying jobs. We investigate the sticky-floor - a wider earnings-gap at the top end of the earnings-distribution and glass-ceiling phenomena - a wider earnings-gap at the bottom in the informal labour market as a whole and across its segments. We use the 2010 Cameroon labour market survey and a framework that enables us to account for sele…
Female education and full-time employment in Guinea
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…
Globalisation, Institutional Arrangemen Poverty in Rural Cameroon
This paper posits that the institutional environment, which is constantly modi fied by the forces of globalisation, significantly influences access to and returns on primary assets that determine poverty outcomes in rural societies. Within the framework of institutional economics related to globalisation, rural institutions and poverty, the paper ( 1 ) identifies monetary and exchange rate arrangements, public debt burden, democratic culture and …
Globalisation and Social Security in Low-Income Countries
Drawing on empirical evidence from Côte d'Ivoire, this article emphasises the need to reform existing social security systems in low-income economies in order to alleviate poverty and guarantee economic security. Following a background perspective, the article presents a brief overview of existing formal and informal social security systems and examines their merits and limitations. Next, the challenges of globalisation for social security system…
