Tourism Contribution to Poverty Alleviation in Kenya: A Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
The aim of this article is to investigate the claim that tourism development can be the engine for poverty reduction in Kenya using a dynamic, microsimulation computable general equilibrium model. The article improves on the common practice in the literature by using the more comprehensive Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) index to measure poverty instead of headcount ratios only. Simulations result...

متن کاملImpact of Inbound Tourism in Kenyan Economy: an Analysis Using a Computable General Equilibrium Model
In both developing and developed countries tourism is often regarded as an economic activity of immense significance creating thousands of jobs. However, calculations dealing with the economic nature of tourism are often derived from input-output models, which largely overstate its effects on employment by assuming linear responses and highly elastic supplies of goods, services and labor. The p...

Climate change is one of the most important issues affecting different economic sectors. Although this phenomenon has had a larger effect on the agricultural sector due to the heavy dependence of agriculture on weather conditions as compared to the other economic sectors, other economic sectors such as the industry, mining and service sectors are also influenced by weather changes due to their ...
