TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of a dichotomous non-agricultural sector was confirmed using data from Western Kenya, and the authors found that only engagement in high-return non agricultural activities is significantly associated with increased agricultural productivity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that short-time work can actually save jobs and that the rule-based component is a cost-efficient job saver, while the discretionary component is completely ineffective, and they use the rich data available to combine micro- and macroeconomic evidence with macroeconomic modeling in order to identify, quantify and interpret these two components of shorttime work.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between offshoring, wages, and the occupational task profile using rich individual-level panel data, and they found that negative wage effects of off-shoring are quite substantial and depend strongly on the task profile of workers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a new open source methodology for collecting project-level development finance information and create a database of Chinese official finance to Africa from 2000-2011, finding that China's commitments amounted to approximately US $73 billion, of which US $15 billion are comparable to Official Development Assistance following OECD definitions.
Abstract: China’s provision of development finance to other countries is sizable but reliable information is scarce. We introduce a new open source methodology for collecting project-level development finance information and create a database of Chinese official finance to Africa from 2000-2011. We find that China’s commitments amounted to approximately US $73 billion, of which US $15 billion are comparable to Official Development Assistance following OECD definitions. We provide details on 1,511 projects to 50 African countries. We use this database to extend previous research on aid and conflict, which suffers from omitted variable bias due to the exclusion of Chinese development finance. Our results show that sudden withdrawals of “traditional” aid no longer induce conflict in the presence of sufficient alternative funding from China. Our findings highlight the importance of gathering more complete data on the development activities of “non-traditional donors” to better understand the link between aid and conflict.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend the methodological toolbox of measures of regional concentration of industries and industrial specialization of regions and propose a taxonomy of these measures based on three characteristic features of any disproportionality measure.
Abstract: This article extends the methodological toolbox of measures of regional concentration of industries and industrial specialization of regions. It first defines disproportionality measures of concentration and specialization and proposes a taxonomy of these measures. This taxonomy is based on three characteristic features of any disproportionality measure. It helps researchers define the measure that fits their research purpose and data best. The article then generalizes this taxonomy to cover disproportionality measures of economic localization that evaluate specialization and concentration simultaneously and spatial disproportionality measures that deal with the checkerboard problem and the modifiable areal unit problem.
