🆕 Extreme heat is changing how farming households work
Today on VoxDev, @tabe_ojong (@wb_research), Ange T. Kakpo (Amazon) & @Lokjour (@3ieNews) outline research on West Africa: https://t.co/oFTcNbVrCQ

New research by @KibromAbay et al shows that survey respondents in Africa grossly underreport their livestock assets by >40%. Direct counting increases ownership by 39%.
How bad are African statistics?

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.
