Leaving no one behind
Poverty remains a formidable development challenge in many developing countries. The Sustainable Development Goals aim to eradicate poverty, reduce inequality, and eliminate discrimination, ensuring that no one is left behind. To design effective policies, it is essential to understand the nature, causes, and spatial distribution of poverty. This paper uses nationally representative data to examine the status, trends, and drivers of multidimensio…
Violent conflict and the child quantity–quality tradeoff
We show that the exposure to war-related violence increases the quantity of children temporarily, with permanent negative consequences for the quality of the current and previous cohorts. Our empirical evidence is based on Nepal, which experienced a 10 year long civil conflict of varying intensity. We exploit that villages affected by the conflict had the same trend in fertility as non-affected villages prior to the onset of conflict and employ a…
Poverty and Deprivation in Bhutan's Mountains
This study examines the multidimensional nature of poverty in Bhutan, situating the analysis within global debates on poverty alleviation and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 1. Using a mixed‐methods approach, the research integrates national poverty data, a recalibrated Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), and qualitative evidence on rural connectivity, ecological fragility, and institutional capacity. By introducing mountain‐spe…
Addressing poverty and inequality in the mountains of Pakistan
This paper examines poverty and inequality in Pakistan's mountains, using nationally representative data. Our analysis reveals that, despite a slight decline in poverty rates, overall rates remain alarmingly high, with significant variations across provinces and regions. Rural and mountain areas exhibit higher poverty rates (31% in rural areas, 13% in urban areas in 2015/16) compared to urban centers. The national incidence of multidimensional po…

Les auteurs étudient l'effet de la migration internationale temporaire de main‐d'œuvre sur l'abandon de terres cultivées, l'adoption de techniques d'intensification agricole et la diversification des moyens de subsistance au Népal. Ils appliquent des méthodes empiriques d'inférence causale en s'appuyant sur des données représentatives au niveau national. Ils établissent que les familles de migrants ont plus de 50 pour cent de chances en plus de l…

The global economy has begun to show major disruptions and is heading toward a severe recession with an unprecedented economic crisis. As the global economy is highly integrated and interdependent through the global supply chains, it has been profoundly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although all coun…

The Impact of International Remittances on Child Outcomes and Household Expenditures in Nepal
Nepal has one of the highest ratios of international remittances to gross domestic product in the world. We examine whether the massive inflow of international remittances affects child schooling, child labour and household expenses. Controlling extensively for a host of observed characteristics of households and migrants, and using an instrumental variable approach, this research finds no effect of international remittances on child education or…
