This study explores how aridity (proxied with a measure of soil potential evapotranspiration) impacts agricultural productivity and child wellbeing in Sub-Saharan Africa. Climate conditions, crop yield, and infant health measures are collected over approximately 4,000 grid cells of 0.5 x 0.5 in...

This study shows how soil aridity (proxied with a measure of soil potential evapotranspiration) impacts child wellbeing in Sub-Saharan Africa. Using climate and infant health data from a grid of approximately 4,000 cells in 34 African countries, we find that infants born in arid areas are...

First, I compute such an index for each stratum to evaluate condition in each and then … add all to propose an overall measure of economic inequality, which appears to be a standardised measure of the length of …

In this study, we examine income-related inequality in relation to these three key … indices and decompose them to determine the factors which contribute most to inequality. We then examine whether differences …

We use two different country-level panel datasets on income inequality: i) the Standardized … World Income Inequality Database (Solt, 2016), which provides the GINI index, and ii) the World Income Inequality Database …
