abstract: 'This paper analyses the effect of export diversification on income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality in Central Africa through the employment channel. The sample
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consists of 9 countries over the period 2000-2019. A quadratic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regression is applied to a panel data model using the random effect and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the two stages least squares methods. The results show that export
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
diversification increases income inequality in Central Africa. However,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this effect is non-linear with the form of an inverted U. Increasing the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
number of wage workers reduces the marginal effect of export
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
diversification on income inequality while increasing the number of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unpaid workers increases this effect. Moreover, diversification is less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likely to reduce income inequality when it increases male employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
than when it increases female employment. The effect of diversification
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on income inequality remains non-linear in an inverted U-shape for CEMAC
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries'' members (CEMAC: Economic and Monetary Community of Central
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
African States) and oil-producing countries, while it is non-linear in a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
U-shape for non-CEMAC countries and non-oil-producing countries. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recommend that Central African countries promote the diversification of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exports while encouraging new productive activities to generate more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paid jobs and to favor female employment.'
