Using 2008 LSMS data for Côte d’Ivoire, we study the welfare implications of the price increase of key imported staple food—rice—and consider the consumption smoothing effect of locally produced food and cash crop varieties. While middle income urban households are adversely affected by...

With fortuitously timed data - collected before, during and after a major macro-financial crisis in Bulgaria - we revisit several hypotheses in the economics and nutritional literature related to the tendency of households to smooth their nutritional status over time. We explore the dietary...

Abstract Using 2008 LSMS data for Côte d’Ivoire, we study the welfare implications of the price increase of key imported staple food – rice – and consider the consumption smoothing effect of locally produced food and cash crop varieties. While middle-income households are found to be...

We apply an extension of the Rothbarth approach to estimate the share of household resources accruing to children (i.e., the cost of children) in Ireland. The method also allows us to identify the economies of scale in the household and indifference scales in Lewbel (2003)’s sense. A practical...

This paper examines the relationship between antidumping filings and macroeconomic factors in the US and the EU. A highly dispersed distribution of the number of openings of antidumping proceduresis confirmed with an over-dispersion test, which leads us to estimate a negative binomial rather...

L'objectif de cet article est d'élargir certains récents travaux qui analysent économétriquement l'influence de quelques variables macroéconomiques sur le nombre des ouvertures d'action antidumping aux États-Unis et au sein de l'Union européenne (Knetter et Prusa, 2003 ; Feinberg, 2005)....

This paper aims at analyzing the possible influence of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in the particular case of Middle East and North African countries (MENA). During the last years, the relation between FDI and growth in LDCs has been discussed extensively in the economic...

This paper aims at extending some recent publications about the relationship between antidumping filings and macroeconomic factors by comparing the United States (US) and the European Union (EU), two major users of antidumping procedures. Results of our estimations confirm that the exchange rate...
