Choice of environmental policy instruments and welfare in middle-income countries: the case of Cote d'Ivoire

The purpose of this paper is to determine among pollution taxes, rules and combination of rules-taxes instrument, one that allows increasing welfare in MICs that face economic and environmental shocks. To do this, we used a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model whose parameters are estimated on the Ivoirian economy by the Bayesian method. Results of welfare comparison under three regimes show, on the one hand, that when public abatement spending is effective, welfare under pollution taxes is higher than pure rules if shocks are strong. But when rules are combined with output taxes for public clearance spending (mixed instrument), welfare under this mixed instrument becomes better than pollution taxes regardless of the type of shock. On the other hand, when the government intervention is inefficient, welfare under pollution taxes is almost equivalent to pure rules but remains lower than the mixed instrument.

France’s Intervention Policy in Africa Seen from Below: Some Thoughts on the Case of Côte d’Ivoire

Abstract In contradiction with the promise to break with its post-colonial past and some attempts to change its foreign policy, France has reengaged itself massively in African crises. The military interventions launched in Cote d’Ivoire, Mali and Central African Republic seem to define a new French interventionist policy South of the Sahara. Based upon extensive surveys conducted in Cote d’Ivoire among young pro-Gbagbo militants, this article tries to interpret this new stance from below. It contends that the nationalist and anti-colonial mobilisations that took place in the country were not only instrumental in local power bargaining. They were (and are still) a powerful leverage for generational emancipation and reflect some conflicts of subjectification which will be key in the evolution of Franco-African relations in the future.

Democracy and realism: reflections on the case of Cote d'Ivoire

AbstractBefore independence the PDCI had considerable experience of participating in elections. Even with the setting-up of a de facto one-party state, elections remained a useful device in the hands of the PDCI leadership to renew the composition of the ruling elite, particularly after the 1980 reforms. A combination of external and internal pressures in the 1990s ensured that a multi-party system would be adopted but Houphouet-Boigny was able to guide the electoral process to ensure continued success for his own party. Despite this and the many inadequacies of the electoral administration there has been a real political change. Cote d'lvoire has embarked on a process of democratisation that will eventually bring other social and political benefits.

Representing scientific activity by structural indicators: The case of Cote d'Ivoire 1884–1968

Eight different indicators are calculated on the basis of an extensive bibliography on science in Cote d'Ivoire, and presented by scientific domain in polar graphs. They permit to have a synthetic image of scientific activity and distinguish different scientific styles. Moreover the notion of “colonial science” is re-evaluated, and a case is made in order to distinguish between different ways of doing science. The indicators and graphic representation proposed here may be a valid method to identify differing patterns at a glance.
