Growth, Inequality and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa: Recent Progress in a Global Context (2015, methodology): “A subset of such inter-country studies, moreover, underscores the important role of inequality in determining the responsiveness of poverty to economic growth (e.g. Ravallion, 1997; Easterly, 2000; Adams, 2004).”
Poverty and economic growth: a review (2016, background): “…a unified approach to economic growth and poverty, e.g. Datt and Ravallion (1992), Kakwani (1993), Person and Tabellini (1994), Deininger and Squire (1996), Easterley (2000), Dollar and Kraay (2002), Bourguignon (2003), Adams (2004), Ferreira (2010), Fosu (2010), Quah (2003) and many others.”
Growth, Inequality, and Poverty Reduction in Developing Countries: Recent Global Evidence (2017, background): “Several papers, furthermore, emphasize the importance of inequality in determining the responsiveness of poverty to income growth (e.g., Adams, 2004; Easterly, 2000; Ravallion, 1997).”
Inequality and the Impact of Growth on Poverty: Comparative Evidence for Sub-Saharan Africa (2009, background): “Meanwhile, a number of studies find that inequality plays an important role in the income–growth–poverty relationship (e.g., Adams 2004; Bourguignon 2003; Easterly 2000; Epaulard 2003; Fosu 2007; Kalwij and Verschoor 2007; Ravallion 1997).”
Lessons from Structural Adjustment Programmes and their Effects in Africa (2011, background): “Many empirical studies have concluded that with some exceptions (Ghana and Uganda), SAPs have typically had a negligible effect on growth in Africa (MOSLEY et al., 1995; EASTERLY, 2000, and the literature cited therein; KLASEN, 2003).”
In Search of the Holy Grail: How to Achieve Pro-Poor Growth? (2003, background): “…have, with some exceptions, not had the intended outcome.21 All empirical studies seem to suggest that the impact of SAPs on growth was typically negligible, non-existent, or not statistically significant (e.g. Mosley, Harrington, and Toye, 1995; Easterly, 2000 and the literature cited therein).”
