This paper investigates the potential economic implications of the withdrawal of Sahelian countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger), called the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), from the Economic Commission for West African States (ECOWAS). Specifically, the paper investigates the potential impact of the AES withdrawal on trade flows (exports and imports), economic growth, migrants' remittances, and tax revenue in the Sahel States and the ECOWAS. An impulse response function (IRF) analysis, inspired by Bernanke et al., is applied using a Factor-Augmented Vector Autoregressive (FAVAR) model, with annual data from 1980 to 2022. We find that a shock to ECOWAS intra-community total import would lead to a marginal decline in the tax revenue of Burkina Faso and Mali. Counterintuitively, a shock to ECOWAS intra-community exports would increase Mali's exports to the rest of ECOWAS. Moreover, trade diversion effects arising from the exit of the AES countries could increase exports for ECOWAS's three lead economies (Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Nigeria). In this regard, AES countries should leverage the existing favorable trade dynamism with their respective neighboring countries (Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria) through the development of bilateral cooperation initiatives and strengthen trade cooperation among them.

A fundamental problem faced by developing countries is corruption, which creates barriers to development. Corruption has made healthcare particularly costly or unaffordable for much of the population. We investigate the effects of corruption on access to healthcare in 34 African countries. Using Afrobarometer data collected between 2019 and 2022 and an ordered probit model, the results show that respondents living in subnational regions within countries where health sector corruption is more prevalent are more likely to report having gone without medical care for themselves or their family when needed, or lacking access altogether. The results also show that the severity of healthcare deprivation increases with the frequency of exposure to health sector corruption. In addition, medical corruption not only restricts access to healthcare but also reduces the quality of services for those who can access the system. The results further show that the effects of medical corruption are approximately three times larger than those of non-medical corruption, including corruption in education, the police, and the acquisition of identity documents. These findings suggest that achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 and the African Union’s Agenda 2063 in the health sector requires prioritizing the fight against medical corruption.

Cet article examine les déterminants de l’inflation au sein de l’Union économique et monétaire ouest-africaine (UEMOA) dans un contexte marqué par des crises sécuritaires récurrentes et une instabilité politique persistante. L’analyse empirique s’appuie sur l’estimation d’un modèle vectoriel à correction d’erreur en panel (PVECM), permettant de distinguer les dynamiques de court et de long terme sur la période de 2000 à 2022. Les résultats indiquent que la stabilité politique n’exerce pas d’effet significatif sur l’inflation à court terme. En revanche, à long terme, une amélioration de la stabilité politique est associée à une augmentation de l’inflation, en raison de son effet stimulant sur l’activité économique. Par ailleurs, la violence, les crises sécuritaires et l’accroissement des dépenses militaires contribuent à intensifier les pressions inflationnistes. Ces résultats suggèrent une reconfiguration des politiques monétaires et budgétaires, intégrant explicitement les effets de l’insécurité, tout en préservant l’objectif de stabilité des prix

Despite extensive research on the factors influencing inflation dynamics, few studies have focused on the specific channels through which central bank independence impacts inflation volatility, especially in low-income monetary unions. This gap is particularly noticeable in the WAEMU region, where member countries share a common monetary authority but experience diverse macroeconomic and political shocks.
Understanding how different aspects of independence function within this unique institutional setting is, therefore, vital for shaping effective policies. Based on this context, this article empirically investigates the effect of central bank independence on inflation volatility. Using an Instrumental Variables Two-Stage Least Squares (IV-2SLS), and Smoothed Instrumental Variable Quantile Regression (IVQR) approach from 2006 to 2023, the findings show that greater central bank independence is correlated with lower inflation volatility. Among various independence dimensions, governor and
board autonomy, financial independence, monetary policy, conflict-resolution mechanisms, and restrictions on central bank lending to the government stand out as the most significant in reducing inflation volatility. In addition, we have highlighted that CBI plays a vital stabilising role in high-volatility regimes. Countries experiencing more turbulent inflation benefit more from having an independent monetary authority.
These results suggest that strengthening these specific dimensions is essential for improving price stability in WAEMU economies.

This paper empirically investigates the effect of cotton production and transmission channels of the international cotton price shocks on government revenues in Burkina Faso, a cotton-exporting country. Using the Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) model on data from 1985 to 2022, we find that positive shock in the world cotton price is associated with increased government revenues and economic growth. By investigating transmission channels, we have highlighted the exchange rate, prices paid to producers and export revenues as the most relevant channels for transmitting world cotton price shocks to government revenues. Our findings suggest that to increase its revenues, the Burkinabè government should support cotton production through price-based production incentive policies and encourage the private sector to
invest in industrial processing and exports. In addition, it could establish a stabilisation fund and a specific tax system for the cotton industry based on export revenues in collaboration with the cotton companies.

This study examines the impact of climate change, defined as long-term changes in temperature and precipitation patterns due to natural and human factors, on women's employment in Burkina Faso, highlighting labour market participation and gender disparities. Using a static computable general equilibrium model calibrated with a gender-specific social accounting matrix, it evaluates two climate scenarios: a 2.4°C temperature increase and a 7.5 per cent decrease in precipitation by 2050. The results indicate that these climate shocks significantly reduce women's employment opportunities. The supply of paid labour for women may decrease by 3.9 per cent, with skilled women experiencing greater job losses than their unskilled counterparts. In rural areas, the domestic workload could increase by up to 0.28 per cent, further limiting women's labour market participation. These changes reinforce gender inequalities and contribute to a decline in real GDP. To counter these effects, investments in climate-resilient agriculture, water and energy infrastructure, and women's entrepreneurship are essential. Gender-responsive policies are needed to promote inclusive economic growth and reduce employment disparities.

Purpose
The constraint of agricultural credit is a major issue for farm households in developing countries. The objective of this paper is to analyze the mediating role of credit on agricultural productivity of rural households in Burkina Faso.

Design/methodology/approach
We use a sample of 8,688 maize-producing farm households during the 2017–2018 agricultural season. To account for observable and unobservable characteristics affecting maize productivity, we use an endogenous switching regression model.

Findings
The results show that there is a 23% productivity gap in favor of households with access to credit. The estimation results of the endogenous switching model reveal that age of household head, chemical fertilizer, gender, marital status, education, seed and livestock are the main factors determining farm households’ access to agricultural credit. The robustness of the estimates is verified by an alternative method: the conditional mixed process.

Research limitations/implications
The main limitation is that the article uses data from a single crop year.

Practical implications
The results of this article will enable agricultural policy authorities to identify the factors that can be acted upon to facilitate households’ access to agricultural credit with a view to improving their agricultural productivity.

Social implications
Our results encourage public authorities to consider household assets and property as collateral for access to credit. Strengthen the financial education of farm households.

Originality/value
This article adopts a methodological approach that takes into account selection biases and sources of observed and unobserved heterogeneity between farm households with and without access to agricultural credit. In addition to the methodology used, unlike previous studies, which have analyzed access to credit at the level of individual farmers, this article addresses the issue of access to agricultural credit at the household level.

Purpose
In the 21st century, women continue to face discriminations enshrined in law, which is a source of inequality of opportunity and compromises gender equality in the labor market. This paper investigates the heterogeneous effect of women-friendly laws on gender equality in employment.

Design/methodology/approach
We employ quantiles via moments regression, as developed by Machado and Silva (2019) in a sample covering 115 developing countries from 2000 to 2021.

Findings
Our analysis reveals that gender-equal laws enhance gender equality in employment, in youth employment, in labor force participation and among employers. This equalizing effect is more important in countries with higher gender gaps in employment. The abolition of laws that deprive women of economic rights equal to those of men narrows the observed dispersion of gender equality in employment.

Practical implications
Our results suggest that governments should promote a legal and business environment that does not discriminate against women to ensure their full and equal participation in the labor market.

Originality/value
This study adds new insights and contributes to the burgeoning strand of literature on the gender equality effect of the Women, Business and Law environment through a heterogeneity analysis approach.

Purpose
This paper examines the impact of access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking on female salaried employment and gender equality in wage and salaried employment in developing countries.

Design/methodology/approach
The research is based on data from 130 countries over the period 2000–2022 and using instrumental variable quantile regression.

Findings
The findings indicate that access to clean cooking increases the share of women in wage and salaried employment and enhances gender equality in this category of work.

Practical implications
These results suggest that policymakers should prioritize the transition to cleaner cooking energy as a strategy to promote female salaried employment and gender equality in the labor market.

Originality/value
Microeconomic studies in particular show that clean cooking methods promote women’s economic empowerment in developing countries. Despite this evidence, little attention has been paid to the macroeconomic link between access to clean cooking fuels and women’s paid employment in developing countries. This article helps to fill this gap by examining the macroeconomic effects of access to clean cooking fuels and technologies on women’s paid employment in urban and rural areas of developing countries.

Purpose – Thisstudy assesses how household consumption volatility affectsincome inequality using panel data from 94 developing countries (1990–2022). The analysis also explores regional differences.
Design/methodology/approach – Quantile instrumental variables regression measures the link between household consumption volatility and income inequality. This method effectively handles asymmetric distributions and extreme values, key for evaluating uneven effects across income groups. Buffer-stock saving rates help analyze shock absorption, increasing policy relevance. The sample encompasses 94 developing countries (1990–2022), with a particular emphasis on Sub-Saharan Africa.
Findings – The results clearly indicate that household consumption volatility leads to increased income inequality in developing countries. This effect is most pronounced in countriesthat initially have lower levels of inequality, as shown by significant effects at the SIVQR 0.1 and SIVQR 0.25 quantiles. In the case of subSaharan Africa, the positive and statistically significantrelationship between consumption volatility and income inequality is particularly notable. However, in other developing regions, this relationship is not statistically significant, highlighting important regional differences in how volatility impacts inequality.
Originality/value – This research provides evidence on the relationship between household consumption volatility and income inequality in developing countries, with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa. The resultssuggest that enhancing macroeconomic stability may help mitigate inequality, particularly in contexts where volatility has a more pronounced impact.
