Peu de recherches ont concilié le caractère multidimensionnel de la pauvreté avec le conditionnement culturel des populations pour orienter les politiques. La démarche de la MES (Modélisation en Équations Structurelles) à travers sa technique de comparaison de modèles nichés a permis de...

The primary objective of this study is to capture multi-poverty with values for welfare dimensions rather than the typical approach of a composite welfare indicator. The method used is multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) modelling, which can be used to explain, measure and calculate the...

The main aim of this research work is to determine the relationship that exists between financial development and the growth rate of per capita real GDP in CEMAC countries using panel data estimation techniques. It emphasises the reciprocal impact of financial development on growth in order to...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the integration of the relative cost of children to adults and of economies of scale in the context of the evaluation of household welfare. Results derived with empirically-estimated scales show that female-headed households are poorer than male-headed...

The purpose of the study is to investigate the integration of the relative cost of children to parents and of economies of scales in the context of the evaluation of household welfare. Results derived with empirically-estimated scales show that households headed by women are poorer than those...

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of collective marketing by FO on cocoa farmer’s price in Cameroun. This evaluation is done through the non-experimental method of impact evaluation which uses the techniques of “Propensity Score Matching”. Data used come from 2006 IITA cocoa...
