Moving out of Poverty in Tanzania: Evidence from Kagera
结合定性与定量数据,追踪坦桑尼亚卡盖拉地区家庭的脱贫轨迹,发现农业和贸易是两大主要脱贫路径,初始条件、冲击、社会网络和村外经历共同决定了十年后能否脱贫。
Abstract This paper uses linked qualitative and quantitative data to explore the growth trajectories of matched households in the Kagera region of Tanzania, finding that agriculture and trade provided the two main routes out of poverty. The interplay between initial conditions, shocks, networks and experiences of life beyond their village determine whether a person moves out of poverty in the following decade.
