"Welfare and sectoral productivity shifts in a small open economy with imported agricultural inputs : the case of Sub‑Saharan Africa". Portuguese Economic Journal, 22(3):353-3761617-982X1617-9838 (online)http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/28555This paper studies the impact of sectoral productivity growth on welfare in Sub- Saharan Africa. Using the analytical framework of a DSGE model, the main finding is that, for the estimated values of structural parameters, the allocation of scarce resources to the tradable agricultural sector for boosting productivity leads to a greater increase in overall welfare than would be the case if they were allocated to the non-traded goods sector.engNOEM modelsAgricultural productivityDevelopment EconomicsSub-Saharan Africajournal article10.1007/s10258-022-00218-x
