     Discussion Paper, 13/2021

     Regional tariff commitments have successfully reduced intra-African applied tariffs but they also sharply reduced the tariff policy space within Africa. Has this come at the expense of the prevalence of non-tariff measures? What are the implications for the AfCFTA?

     Aid fragmentation is condemned for causing gridlock and worse - though recent studies suggest benefits. To reconcile mixed findings, we identify conditioning effects: (1) whether aid focuses on improving outcomes or processes and (2) whether fragmentation occurs at national or local level.

     Budgetary constraints forced Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia to reduce energy and food subsidy after 2010 but they applied different strategies, thereby transforming their existing, quite akin social contracts into different new ones delivering more protection, provision or participation for citizens.
