Growth, Redistribution and Poverty Changes in Cameroon: A Shapley Decomposition Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the decomposition of poverty changes in Cameroon and found that the growth components over accounted for the increase, although shifts in national, rural and semi-urban distributions marginally mitigated the worse effects on the population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of Sectoral Decomposition of Aggregate Poverty Changes in Cameroon
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the within and between-sector contributions to changes in aggregate poverty in Cameroon informed by the Shapley Value decomposition rule and infer the potential positive feedback effects of migration such as remittances, and/or increases in rural consumption expenditure in the face of rural underemployment, as effective strategies used by migrants to lift their families and villages out of the worse effects of poverty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of Well‐being and Poverty Changes in Cameroon: 2001–2007
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify and decompose sources that explain household economic well-being in Cameroon using the 2001 and 2007 Household Consumption Surveys, synthetic variables constructed by the multiple correspondence analysis and econometric approaches that correct for potential endogeneity and unobserved heterogeneity in a step-wise manner and simultaneously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Household Economic Well-being: Response to Micro-Credit Access in Cameroon
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the determinants of borrowing, effects of borrowing on economic well-being, and potential disparity in responses by sources of wellbeing, location and gender, while controlling for other correlates.
Journal ArticleDOI
