Sub-Saharan Africa is the region where firms face greatest hurdles when it comes to cross-border trading.This paper examines how these firms, relative their counterparts in developing world, would respond changes trade environment as a result of facilitation reforms.Using data from World Bank's Enterprise Surveys, suggests that improving customs clearance, government regulations, finance, and energy telecommunication infrastructure contributes increasing probability firms' entry into...
Abstract This paper tackles one of the most complex and multifaceted agricultural policy decisions faced by African governments; that is, whether it makes sense to subsidise fertilisers. It combines a data envelopment analysis compute efficiency scores regression analyses deal with self‐selectivity endogeneity issues examine productive farmers who benefited from subsidy programme in very atypical irrigated system Senegal River Valley. The results based on farm‐level indicate seems be...
This paper reexamines the relationship between bribery and firms' performance with a recognition that not all illegal payments are equal over business life cycle. Some in effect more likely to occur during establishment or expansion, such as when obtaining an operating license, construction permit connection public utilities, while others tend regular activities, for instance dealing tax customs officials. Using data from World Bank's Entreprise Surveys of than 46,000 firms across 69...
It is widely believed that the countries of Africa trade relatively little with outside world, and among themselves, despite an extensive network regional agreements. We examine this proposition by focusing on agricultural trade. Specifically, we ask whether non-tariff barriers (NTBs) are stunting within Economic Community West African States (ECOWAS), a grouping fifteen in has removed tariffs its members. Our survey truckers Tambacounda (Senegal) August 2009 found evidence bribery police...
Abstract Despite a significant trade expansion that has been above the world average in recent period, Sub-Saharan Africa still remains relatively marginalized trading system. This paper sets out to analyze extent which various elements of cost landscape sub-continent may have contributed shape patterns both within region and with outside world. Different facilitation measures such as border efficiency, physical infrastructure, regulatory environment, information communication technology,...
Credit constraints come in various forms, to the extent that they translate ex ante into market entry barriers (mostly transaction cost, price, and risk constraints) or post credit application rejection (quantity constraints). This article is concerned with underlying generating mechanisms of such heterogeneity implications for farmers' productivity Senegal River Valley. Results from an endogenous switching regression model based on farm-level data indeed indicate both pre- postapplication...
Abstract Promoting youth and female entrepreneurship is crucial to inclusive growth the future economic social prospects of developing countries. Evidence tends suggest that young entrepreneurs are in a minority, extent generating mechanisms this outcome tend be country‐specific. This collection papers brings together recent empirical contributions exploring key drivers heterogeneity entrepreneurial propensity context group countries Africa, Latin America, Middle East, paying special...
Africa has recently become the world second fastest growing region, but still, poverty not improved accordingly. The paper makes case that in order to further boost economic growth and promote development, African economies need go beyond imitation technology transfer start producing technology. Some of arguments are: innovation generates stronger gains than copying; international patent protection contributes hinder process; tends be purpose-driven can inappropriate. Drawing on determinants...
Market integration is often associated with economic growth spillovers, to the extent that strengthened trade linkages would make in one country an opportunity for its partners.This paper uses a spatial dynamic panel data approach analyze which Africa and major regional groupings have been able generate shared growth.The results indicate continent as whole indeed spatially integrated zone.Although of weak proportion compared advanced economies, contemporaneous effect strong convergence large...

This paper asks whether a more market-oriented mechanism that reflects visitors’ preferences willingness to pay would better contribute sustainable provision amenities than an administered price face government budget constraints. With information collected from 477 visitors, results –...
Despite an increase in the share of female-owned existing and new start-up firms Senegal, there is still wide belief that female entrepreneurs are discriminated against credit market. This paper empirically investigates such gender-based discrimination, extent to which it might be translated into lower performance. Using firm-level data a methodological approach consists envelopment analysis, endogenous switching regression propensity score matching, suggests no thing as they benefit from...

Abstract Culture media play a crucial role in the identification of bacterial pathogens. This study aimed to evaluate performance MacErt1 and MacErt2 culture media, for selective detection Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales (CPEs). were formulated by supplementing MacConkey agar with 0.5 mg/L 1 ertapenem, respectively. The two assessed using panel 26 characterized Enterobacterales, including CPEs producing OXA-48, NDM, KPC. Then, employed under realistic conditions analysis wastewater....
Abstract Background : Culture media play a crucial role in the identification of bacterial pathogens. This study aimed to evaluate performance MacErt1 and MacErt2 culture media, for selective detection Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales (CPEs) Methods were formulated by supplementing MacConkey agar with 0.5 mg/L 1 ertapenem, respectively. The two assessed using panel 26 characterized Enterobacterales, including CPEs producing OXA-48, NDM, KPC. Then, employed under realistic conditions...

Abstract Background: In recent years, carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) resistance to antibiotics has dramatically increased leading limitations of their treatment options. the present study, we investigated occurrence Escherichia coli and Salmonella in rural Burkina Faso. Methods: isolates were serotyped according Kauffman White scheme. Diarrheagenic (DEC) strains was identified using 16-plex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), whereas antibiotic susceptibility realized disk...
