โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

Research has highlighted the possibility that tourism expenditure in developing countries not only provides income for poor households, but also leads to contraction of other exporting industries. By highlighting the linkages between tourismโ€related industries and the rest of the economy, and through the distributional effects of their income flows, this paper examines the effects of tourismโ€related industries and other export industries on households in East Africa. Tourismโ€related industries are found to provide substantially less income for poorer households than other export activities, leading to concern that tourism expansion may be detrimental for poverty alleviation in these countries.

## Abstract In this paper, we propose a model of income dynamics which takes account of mobility both within and between jobs. The model is a hybrid of the moverโ€stayer model of income dynamics and a geometric random walk. In any period, individuals face a discrete probability of โ€˜movingโ€™, in which

This study is an investigation of convergence in per capita incomes and total factor productivity (TFP) for agriculture in the African continent. The concept of convergence, which is a basic prediction of the neoclassical growth model, has been shown to have considerable explanatory power. Here, the
