The direct impact of landslides on household income in tropical regions: A case study from the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Landslides affect millions of people worldwide, but theoretical and empirical studies on the impact of landslides remain scarce, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study proposes and applies a method to estimate the direct impact of landslides on household income and to investigate the presence of specific risk sharing and mitigation strategies towards landslides in a tropical and rural environment. An original cross-sectional household ...
Income and expenditure elasticity of household carbon footprints University of Antwerp
The income and expenditure elasticity of household carbon footprints (CF) is a recurrent summary measure of the social stratification of greenhouse gas emissions. In top-down-estimates, when microdata are lacking, it is also used to estimate the inequality in emissions between households across the income or expenditure distribution. In this article, we point to several key methodological considerations when computing the elasticity of household ...

Child labourers play an integral role in households' income diversification process by contributing to farm and non-farm incomes but policies, including that of ILO, have focused largely on eliminating child labour from the agricultural sector through education. This study sought to ascertain the relative contribution of child labourers to farm and non-farm incomes using the GLSS6 data and employed a SUR estimation that simulated, empirically, ...
