This article shows that the level and the predictability of remittances reduce working poverty inreceiving economies through their effects on labour market dynamics. It takes advantage of the new cross-countrydataset (ILO, KILM 7th edition) containing information on the share of individuals working for less than US$2per day. To identify the main impacts, the article proposes a novel approach to deal with the endogeneity ofremittances and migration. In addition, the results are robust to the possible error in measuring working poverty,to the potential attrition bias, and to the presence of various control variables.
This report provides a preliminary descriptive analysis of the Madagascar Youth Transition Survey 2012–13 (Enquête Statistique sur les itinéraires de vie des jeunes à Madagascar 2012-13). This survey is the last round of a cohort panel following children from around age 8 (for about half the sample) or age 15 (for the remainder) to their early 20s. The first two surveys were mainly focused on schooling and skills and were complemented by school surveys and by community surveys. This new survey re-interviewed the cohort members and their households and updated the community information. This last round of the survey was designed to improve our understanding of the determinants and impacts of the major life course transitions—involving marriage, family, schooling, and work—of young people in Madagascar. The purpose of this report is to ...
In the paper, we propose a methodological way of leading an economical assessment of innovative cropping systems (ICSs). The originality lies in the integration of the crop management flexibility and the farmers’ risk perception and risk preferences. Two conventional cropping systems have been studied (continuous irrigated maize and wheat/sunflower rotation). For each of them, an innovative long rotation has been co-designed by farmers to reach various objectives, notably reduce the pressure on natural resources. The methodological protocol is tested thought a sample of 23 specialized cash crop farmers of Southwestern France is surveyed: subjective probabilities linked to climatic risk perceived are assessed and farmers’ risk aversion is elicited through experimental lotteries. Without risk consideration, the adoption of ICSs should be...
