Household-Level Consumption in Urban Ethiopia: The Effects
- 2012
-
In: World Development. - : Elsevier BV. - 0305-750X. ; 40:1, s. 146-162
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We use survey data to investigate how urban households in Ethiopia coped with the food price shock in 2008. Qualitative data indicate that the high food price inflation was by far the most adverse economic shock between 2004 and 2008, and that a significant proportion of households had to adjust food consumption in response. Regression results indicate that households with low asset levels, and casual workers, were particularly adversely affected by high food prices. We interpret the results as pointing to the importance of growth in the formal sector so as to generate more well-paid and stable jobs.

Impact of Thrombus Aspiration on Mortality, Stent Thrombosis, and Stroke in Patients with ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Report From the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry
- 2018
-
In: Journal of the American Heart Association. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 2047-9980. ; 7:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background-Thrombus aspiration is still being used in a substantial number of patients despite 2 large randomized clinical trials showing no favorable effect of routine thrombus aspiration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with STsegment- elevation myocardial infarction. The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the impact of thrombus aspiration on mortality, stent thrombosis, and stroke using all available data from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR). Methods and Results--We identified 42 829 consecutive patients registered in SCAAR between January 2005 and September 2014 who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. Thrombus aspiration was used in 25% of the procedures. We used instrumental variable analysis with administrative healthcare region as the treatmentpreference instrumental variable to evaluate the effect of thrombus aspiration on mortality, stent thrombosis, and stroke. Thrombus aspiration was not associated with mortality at 30 days (risk reduction: -1.2; 95% confidence interval [CI] , -5.4 to 3.0; P=0.57) and 1 year (risk reduction: -2.4; 95% CI, -7.6 to 3.0; P=0.37). Thrombus aspiration was associated with a lower risk of stent thrombosis both at 30 days (risk reduction: -2.7; 95% CI, -4.1 to -1.4; P < 0.001) and 1 year (risk reduction: -3.5; 95% CI, -5.3 to -1.7; P < 0.001). In-hospital stroke and neurologic complications did not differ between groups (risk reduction: 0.1; 95% CI, -0.8 to 1.1; P=0.76). Conclusions--Mortality was not different between the groups. Thrombus aspiration was associated with decreased risk of stent thrombosis. Our study provides important evidence for the external validity of previous randomized studies regarding mortality.

Social insurance reform and workers' compensation
- 2022
-
In: Labour Economics. - : Elsevier BV. - 0927-5371. ; 78
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper uses matched employer-employee data to examine the wage responses to a mandatory social insurance reform program in Ethiopia. By relying on firm-level differences in alternative pre-reform contributory schemes, we examine the extent to which employers shifted the cost of social insurance to workers in terms of lower wages. We find partial switching that varies by workers ' employment history. Wages of recent hires by treatment firms show a decline proportional to the mandatory employer contribution rate. Wages of incumbent workers, however, continued to rise after the reform but at a slower rate relative to the control group. The post-reform reduction in wages is larger and significant for production workers and employees of low-wage industries. Treatment workers also experienced reductions in bonuses after the reform while their allowances remained intact.

Do African Manufacturing Firms Learn from Exporting?
- 2002
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In this paper, we use firm-level panel data for the manufacturing sector in four African countries to estimate the effect of exporting on efficiency. Estimating simultaneously a production function and an export regression that control for unobserved firm effects, we find both significant efficiency gains from exporting, supporting the learning-by-exporting hypothesis, and evidence for self-selection of more efficient firms into exporting. The evidence of learning-by-exporting suggests that Africa has much to gain from orientating its manufacturing sector towards exporting.
