IS ECONOMIC GROWTH IN COTE D'IVOIRE PRO-POOR? EVIDENCE FROM LSMS DATA: A NOTE

type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title type="main">ABSTRACT</title> <p>This paper analyses the impact of the economic growth in Cote d'Ivoire on the poor people. We use household data from two LSMS (1992 and 2002) led by the National Statistical Office of Côte d'Ivoire. We show that the situation in this country is characterized by a trickle-down growth: the poverty growth curve and the growth incidence curve computed show that growth reduces poverty but the poor people receive proportionally fewer benefits than the non-poor.
