Dissertation title: Impact Assessment by Microsimulation of Universal Non-Con...G B
The purpose of this dissertation is to present the results of the estimated potential impact of a national non-contributory universal pension scheme in Uganda. The impact evaluation has been based on the use of the Uganda National Panel Survey 2015-16: with household data, we performed a microsimulation of the benefit estimating the effects of the transfers on households’ consumption. The research focused on the themes of old-age poverty, adequacy of social protection benefits, poverty prevention, and informality. The main results depict a situation in which the vast majority of elderly citizens in Uganda are not reached by any form of social protection, but this relatively small group (2.31% of total population), through the benefits’ provision, could significantly decrease their monetary poverty, increasing consumption on key items and improving their level of food security.
Fiscal incentives to pension savings -- are they efficient?GRAPE
Financing consumption of the elderly in the face of the projected increase in life expectancy is a key challenge for economic policy. Moreover, standard structural models with fully rational agents suggest that about 50-60 percent of old-age consumption is financed with voluntary savings, even in the presence of a fairly generous public pension system. This is clearly inconsistent with either the data, or the alarming simulations of old-age poverty in the years to come. Old-age saving (OAS) schemes are widely used policy instruments to address this challenge, but structural evaluations of such instruments remain rare. We develop a framework with incompletely rational agents: lacking financial literacy and experiencing commitment difficulties. We study a broad selection of OAS schemes and find that they raise welfare of financially illiterate agents and to a lesser extent improve welfare of agents with a high degree of time inconsistency. They also reduce the incidence of poverty at old age. Unfortunately, these instruments are fiscally costly, induce considerable crowd-out and direct fiscal transfers mostly to those agents, who need it the least.

Stimulating old-age savings under incomplete rationalityGRAPE
Fully rational agents respond to old-age savings incentives with complete crowing out, hence any effects of such incentives stem from second order general equilibrium adjustments. However, agents facing constraints in obtaining optimal savings profiles experience also first order effects, i.e. substantial changes to the lifetime profiles of assets accumulation. We develop a fully-fledged overlapping generations model with intra-cohort heterogeneity. In addition to fully rational agents, each generation has also agents with other types of preferences. In this economy we introduce a variety of tax incentivized old-age savings schemes with endogenous participation. We analyze macroeconomic and welfare effects of such instruments.
We need to frame the way we gather and use data in the context of the post-2015 agenda on poverty eradication. Tony German and Judith Randel from Development Initiatives examine issues around disaggregating data for better informed choices about development spending.
WIDER Annual Lecture 20 – Martin RavallionUNU-WIDER
Martin Ravallion’s WIDER Annual Lecture focused on the economic and political issues surrounding the use of direct interventions, such as cash transfers and in kind contributions, against poverty. He highlighted two key lessons that are important for policymakers to keep in mind when designing interventions. First, there is too much focus on how policies are targeted, and not enough attention on how effectively policies promote and protect. Second, policymakers should consider how to improve the protection-promotion tradeoff, and look for ways to design policies that allow markets to work better from the perspective of poor people.

The IPC-IG was honoured to participate in the Transfer Project Workshop, held in Arusha, from 2 to 4 April 2019, where researchers and policymakers gathered to discuss evidence for social protection policies in sub-Saharan Africa. IPC-IG Senior Research Coordinator Fábio Veras delivered the presentation "Graduation from Poverty versus Graduating from Social Protection – Setting the Scene and Discussing the Evidence". The Transfer Project is a partnership between UNICEF, FAO, UNC Chapel Hill, national governments and local research partners.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

oBenefit per child represents
15% of mean hh income in poorest three deciles
Large compared to other programs in Argentina (Cruces and Gasparini, 2012) and to other Latin American CCTs (Stampini and Tornarolli, 2012)
5. Available data is scarce
•Not an RCT
•No microdata available from the Program
•National household survey (EPH): not a specific question on AUH but can trace the subsidy with other questions

7. The debate on unintended outcomes
•Ample support to the program but debate over some unintended outcomes:
oLabour informality
oLabour force participation
•Our research:
•look for signs of unintended outcomes
•using diff-in-diff
•exploiting the short panel structure of EPH
8. Incentives against formalization?
•
Universal coverage initiatives may deteriorate the incentives to participate in the formal labor market (Galiani and Weinschelbaum (2012), Levy (2008), Antón et al. (2012))
•
The presence of the program could
•
change decision between self-employment and formal job
•
reduce bargaining power of informal workers against their employers
•
The practical relevance of the potential disincentives can only be determined with empirical evidence.
