HUMAN CAPITAL PRODUCTIVITY, ENDOGENOUS GROWTH, AND WELFARE: THE ROLE OF UNCERTAINTY

Mbaye Diene; Bity Diene; Théophile T. Azomahou

Several policies or interventions have been implemented in developing countries with the ultimate goal of improving educational outcomes and human capital. Although many empirical studies have pointed to mixed results of these interventions, the role of uncertainty arising from the state of nature about the educational environment and household characteristics in the efficiency of these interventions still lacks an economic mechanism. This paper aims at developing a theoretical framework that links policy interventions to educational outcomes. We characterize optimal policies and determine the conditions for enhancing social welfare.

Human capital accumulation of children in Cameroon: does disability really matter?

Arlette Simo Fotso; Anne Solaz; Mbaye Diene; Roger Tsafack Nanfosso

ABSTRACT Although most of the worlds disabled people live in developing countries, little is known about the consequences of disability in this part of the world. Using the DHS-MICS 2011 data of Cameroon, this paper contributes to the literature by providing new robust estimates of the effect of child disability on education in a developing country context. It controls for unobserved heterogeneity within the households by using a ‘true’ sibling fixed effect model and also accounts for the severity of disability. The results show that moderate and severe disabilities reduce the probability that a child attends school and diminish school progress.
