We examine the implications of extreme heat on family labor, hired labor, and animal traction. We find differential impacts on these outcomes in Ghana, Nigeria and Mali! Labor-demanding adaptation could explain these findings. share.google/sQ3Il1cRZhVDYw… @angekakpo @Lokjour

New blog series! In the lead-up to the WIDER Development Conference in June, we publish blogs on social protection. In this, @tabe_ojong & Emmanuel Nshakira-Rukundo explore the benefits of a cash plus programme in Ghana. Read here: go.unu.edu/Hil5m #WIDERDevConf2025

In this paper, we link social protection to the blue economy - particularly small scale fisheries in the framework of a transformative blue social protection agenda. We highlight and discuss several interesting aspects therein.... doi.org/10.1016/j.envs… @worldfi

Our new paper in @IAAEAgEcon looks at the drivers and yield implications of nature-based land mgt practices in Oil palm production systems, underscoring some complex relationships therein. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

@tabe_ojong @CRC228 @heckelei Wow congrats @tabe_ojong 🎉🎊💪

Using recent (and rich) data from EORA-MRIO, we characterise GVCs in Africa with stylized facts and confirm the positive GVC-Growth link. We show that this r/s is driven by trade in commodities, labour intensive goods and knowledge-intensive services. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Another amazing Award!! This time for our paper on commercialization and welfare in @AgriEconEurope! Thanks for the honour @AARES_Inc

Honoured to receive the 2024 AARES Quality of Research Discovery EMCR Award. Thank you to @AARES_Inc for this recognition & to my brilliant collaborator @tabe_ojong for a co-authored paper published in the European Review of Agricultural Economics (lnkd.in/gdRPuTrK).

📊 In this paper, we show that the invasive insect, fall armyworm reduces maize production and commercialization. Farmers use biological, cultural and chemical methods to control the pest. Use of these are driven by behavioral factors such as aspirations & locus of control...
