We develop a model of child labour where poverty and inequality combine to determine policy response to child labour. If there are strategic complementarities between parents' decisions to educate their children and firms' technology choice, multiple school-enrolment equilibria arise. Only rich...

This case study uses primary evidence from the Rift Valley Railways concession—a complex multinational rail concession originating from Mombasa (Kenya) and to Kampala (Uganda)—to discuss strategic roles of multilateral development banks in infrastructure project finance. We find...

This paper studies the informational content of elective teams in a dynamic agency framework with adverse selection. Two agents with different employment histories are paid their conditional expected marginal product. They observe their types (good or bad), and chooose between working together...

This paper studies the impact of family structures and elders' participation status on sectoral labor allocation in developing agricultural economies.

This paper studies the informational content of elective teams in a dynamic principal/multiple-agents framework with adverse selection. Two agents with different employment histories are paid their conditional expected marginal product. They observe their types (good or bad), and choose between...

We analyze the extent to which intergenerational teams provide information on workers' productivity in the long run. We use a dynamic stochastic framework where wages are reputation-based and consider three possible work arrangements. When agents can only work by themselves we show that some...

Team production analysis are usually carried in static frameworks where employees choose neither their teammates nor between working in a team or by themselves. This hypothesis does not reflect certain work environments. For example, academics are seldom forced to work as a team. They usually...
