Climate change is projected to cause an increase in average temperatures in Zambia and a decline in rainfall, particularly in the southern and western regions.

Global food, fuel, and fertilizer prices have risen rapidly in recent months, driven in large part by the fallout from the ongoing war in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia.

Since Amartya Sen's famous work on Poverty and Famines, economists have understood that the impacts of food market shocks on the poor depend much more on their impacts on households’ incomes and access to food than on overall food availability, an

Since Amartya Sen’s famous work on Poverty and Famines, economists have understood that policy responses to food market shocks should be guided by changes in households’ incomes and access to food, rather than by overall food availability.

We consider the interplay of climate change impacts, global mitigation policies, and the economic interests of developing countries to 2050.

Potential biofuel demand in South Africa is estimated to increase to 1550 million litres by 2025 due to mandatory blending rates. Land and water constraints, however, limit the ability for domestic production.

This study analyzes recent household data on Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia to assess the impact of the most recent El Niño in East and Southern Africa and the trade policy responses to it.

What drives policy reform after long periods of policy inertia? What factors shape the effectiveness of policy implementation following reform decisions?
