    Public policies, particularly those related to taxes and subsidies, should help to reduce poverty and inequality. However, the combination of components of these two systems, as implemented, leads sometimes to an increase in poverty and or inequality without being necessarily anticipated.

    The role of the production network in shock propagation has been an issue of considerable interest since the Great Recession. However, the empirical literature has only focused on advanced and emerging countries.

The question is whether its production network is a factor in amplifying idiosyncratic industry-level shocks or, conversely, ...

    October 30, 2023
    Interroger le lien entre le Maroc et son continent d’appartenance, l’Afrique, à partir de l’entrée des Industries culturelles et créatives (ICC), nous met d’emblée devant la nécessité d’interroger autant les concepts que les contextes d’où elles sont énoncées. Il nous oblige, par souci de rigueur et de justesse, de souligner les paradoxes qui les sous-tendent. Car par-delà l’appartenance géographique, des (dis)continuités historiques et culturelles, l’africanité du Maro ...

We use a two-stage approach to study this issue: first, we create a typology of graduates’ integration paths and then estima ...
