New Study: How Resource Rents (Oil, Gas, Minerals) Affect State Welfare Analysis of 115 countries (2002–2017) shows: High resource rents can boost welfare in the short term, but often lead to dependency, inequality, and weaker long-term sustainable development. Key takeaway: Economic diversification is crucial for resource-rich nations. Full paper: researchgate.net/publication… #ResourceCurse #SustainableDevelopment #ResourceRents #DevelopmentEconomics

In 1980, fifty African heads of state adopted the most systematic economic framework the continent had ever produced together. It named the problem precisely. It had a twenty-year plan. Most people have never heard of it. Our latest piece asks why, and what Africa keeps losing every time this happens. #AfricanEconomics #DevelopmentEconomics #EconomicPolicy

Economics has long ignored gender, Dileni (@dilenigun) argues. What is feminist economics, and why must it have a seat at the table? Join us at our next VThink, where Prof. Dileni explores where neoclassical and marxist economics miss the bus, and what feminist economics has to offer. Professor Dileni Gunewardena is the Professor of Economics (Chair) at the University of Peradeniya and a Non-Resident Fellow at @VeriteResearch. Her research is at the confluence of inequality, gender and development economics. She is a PEP Research Fellow, and a former Fulbright Scholar, Brookings Echidna Global Scholar, and two-time Global Development Network awardee.

The Agriculture-Manufacturing Productivity Gap: Africa’s Dual Economy Challenge 1. This chart captures a fundamental feature of structural transformation in many African economies: labour productivity in agriculture remains far below the economy-wide average, while manufacturing is often substantially more productive. 2. The gap matters because it reflects the persistence of a dual economy. A large share of workers remains concentrated in low-productivity agriculture, while higher-productivity sectors absorb only a limited part of the labour force. 3. In such a context, aggregate productivity growth depends not only on improving productivity within sectors but also on enabling workers to move into more productive activities. 4. The policy challenge is therefore twofold. First, agriculture itself must become more productive through technology, irrigation, market access, storage, logistics, and agro-processing linkages. 5. Second, economies need stronger pathways into manufacturing and related tradable sectors that can absorb labour at scale. 6. The key issue is not agriculture versus manufacturing. It is how to build bridges between them through agro-industry, rural infrastructure, skills development and regional value chains. 7. Reducing the agriculture-manufacturing productivity gap remains central to inclusive growth, employment creation, and long-term structural transformation. #StructuralTransformation #EconomicDevelopment #Productivity #Agriculture #Manufacturing #IndustrialPolicy #InclusiveGrowth #Africa #DevelopmentEconomics #Jobs #AgroIndustry #ValueChains.

How far each part of Africa has moved out of agriculture? 1. Africa is often discussed as a single trajectory. Disaggregated, it is five quite different ones. 2. This chart tracks the broad-sector composition of employment in each African sub-region between 1990 and 2018. Every sub-region moved out of agriculture - but from very different starting points, and toward very different destinations. 3. A few patterns stand out. Eastern Africa began the most agrarian of all (83% of employment in 1990) and remains so today at 63%, despite the fastest pace of reallocation on the continent. Western Africa saw the steepest fall - 69% to 43% - with the released labour flowing overwhelmingly into market services rather than industry. Southern Africa is the most structurally advanced, agriculture down to 17% and services above half, yet that maturity has coincided with weak productivity gains. And Northern Africa looks least like the rest: a large, stable industrial and public-sector base throughout. 4. The common thread is what is missing in all five panels. Industry's share (the blue band) barely moves anywhere - and in Southern Africa it actually shrinks. Across the continent, labour leaving agriculture went to services, not factories. 5. For anyone designing employment or industrial strategy, the implication is that "structural transformation in Africa" is not one policy problem but five. A programme calibrated for Eastern Africa's still-agrarian economy will not fit Southern Africa's service-heavy one. The starting point determines the binding constraint.

As India braces for another heatwave, the workplace impacts of extreme heat are becoming harder to ignore. A recent paper by Ridhima Gupta & E. Somanathan finds that workplace climate control can significantly reduce heat-related absenteeism among formal-sector workers in India.

The article estimates the partial and general equilibrium impacts of trade digitalisation using the United Nations Trade Digitalization Index (UN TDI) and a structural gravity model. The findings show that, despite regional variations in magnitude, trade digitalisation consistently boosts trade, raises wages, and lowers consumer costs, with less developed and geographically isolated economies in Asia and the Pacific emerging as the greatest potential beneficiaries. 🔗𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs… @MEAIndia @aparnaray_ifs @SKSharma_World @SageJournals @ChulalongkornU @RajanRatna @Prabir_India @AmitaBatra @rajatmnag @selimraihan @kunalsen5m @TheAtulKaushik @sujeetsamaddar @shishir_sh @sabya_saha @pdash76 @PV_Chat @Dhurairaaja @AmitK_PhD @susheco @GaurPankhuri @cmec_ris @DakshinNews @AIC_aseanindia @fitm14 @fisd19 #JAEI #RIS #AIC #AsianEconomicIntegration #PolicyResearch #GlobalSouth #TradeDigitalisation #DigitalTrade #InternationalTrade #EconomicGrowth #SustainableDevelopment #AsiaPacific #TradePolicy #GlobalTrade #UNTradeDigitalizationIndex #DevelopmentEconomics #StructuralGravityModel #DigitalEconomy

Six asks. Eleven years of policy. One ledger. On 10–11 May, the Prime Minister asked Indians to give up six things in the national interest — cut petrol, defer foreign travel for a year, postpone gold, reduce edible oil, revive work from home, buy Indian. In a fuel crisis, none of these asks is unreasonable. The harder question is what eleven years of policy on each of these items was supposed to deliver, and what it actually did. The appeal, read carefully, is a confession. A new essay by Dr. Manmohan Singh Fellow Varna Sri Raman goes through the ledger, ask by ask.
