Agricultural Supply Chains, Growth and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. Market Structure, Farm Constraints and Grass-root Institutions (with N. Depetris Chauvin and F. Mulangu)

We study the interplay between market structure and domestic complementary factors in the production and consumption decisions of agricultural families in Africa. We analyse the changes in real income of households caused by price changes of cash and food crops in Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Ethiopia, Uganda and Madagascar. We also evaluate the role of non-market institutions in the context of the constraints found in our African case studies. The book was published by Springer in July 2017.
