چکیده
(ODI) – for discussions at an early stage of this paper. Parts of the paper also draw on work undertaken by the Political Economy of Agricultural Policy in Africa (PEAPA) project within the Future Agricultures Consortium (www.future-agricultures.org/peapa). Ultimately, however, the interpretation in the paper is mine, as are all errors and omissions.

متن کاملClimate change effects on economic growth: mixed empirical evidence
West Africa is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This paper analyzed the impacts of climate change on economic growth in Anglophone West Africa with similar background, during the periods 1969-2016. Five growth model equations have been developed to incorporate climate change variables into the model. Panel data estimations such as the fixed effect model, random effect model and Haus...
متن کاملInvestigating Agricultural Productivity Growth and Convergence in Iran and Eastern African Countries
The issue of convergence or divergence of productivity has important policy for regional poverty reduction and increasing standards of living. If productivity converges to a common level without intervention, there is little need for explicit policies in lagging regions to promote catch up. On the other hand, productivity has divergence trend, then explicit policies would be needed to prevent f...
