Consumption, Inequality and Poverty in the Household: Monetary Expansion and Food Expenditure Dynamics in Iran

This paper analyzes Iran's 1982–2024 economic landscape to demonstrate that while monetary expansion significantly influences household food expenditure, inequality, and poverty through distinct channels like nominal income growth and exchange-rate depreciation rather than a single mechanical liquidity effect, the resulting trends show that welfare improvements have occurred alongside a complex decoupling of food expenditure shares from broader inequality metrics.

Inflation Bites Differently: Household Consumption, Welfare, and Poverty during the 2022 European Energy Crisis

By applying a non-homothetic CES demand system to microdata from Spain and Italy during the 2022 energy crisis, this paper demonstrates that heterogeneous consumption patterns cause poorer households to suffer disproportionately larger welfare losses and that relying on a single representative price index significantly obscures the true distributional impact of inflation on poverty.

Awareness Before Application: Institutional Absorptive Capacity and Smaller Firms’ Take-Up of Public Innovation Support

This paper analyzes Chilean survey data to demonstrate that the primary barrier preventing smaller firms from accessing public innovation support is a lack of awareness driven by institutional absorptive capacity constraints, rather than administrative burdens or application difficulties, suggesting that policy should prioritize active outreach over procedural simplification.

Gold Rents, Fiscal Procyclicality, and the Growth Cost in Sub-Saharan Africa

This paper analyzes Sub-Saharan Africa's mining economies, finding that while foreign investment mirrors global cycles, fiscal spending in key Sahelian nations is significantly procyclical and undermines growth during gold price shocks, particularly when compounded by conflict, resulting in substantial economic costs that could be mitigated by reducing fiscal procyclicality.
