Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) is a joint research initiative of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and the Department For International Development (DFID). It offers a competitive research grants scheme for projects related to the behaviour of firms in Low-Income Countries (LICs) that aim to better understand what determines the strength of market forces driving efficiency in these countries.
Since the launch of the initiative in December 2011, 80Exploratory Grants, 29Major Grants and 41Special Exploratory Grants have been awarded, ranging from business transformation in low-income countries to market incentives and efficiency.
An important criterion for funding of grant proposals is their relevance to policy in Low-Income Countries (LICs) and other eligible countries as defined by the PEDL programme. For more information on our grants, please see our Funding page.
PEDL will support approaches that promise to produce credible research results that will be useful for policy-making. It will promote research related to private enterprises of all sizes and will initially focus on four research themes:
Modelling market frictions in LICs using newly available data
Understanding how constraints interact using micro-founded macro models
The dynamics of SMEs: Informality and entrepreneurship
The role of export-oriented industries in driving growth
Proposals that address the following cross-cutting issues will be encouraged.
Fragile and conflict affected states
Gender
Climate, environment and social compliance
Exploratory Grants are research grants of between £10,000 and £35,000 that are designed to allow researchers to:
explore new approaches to the study of firms in low-income-countries (LICs); and
to develop new (or build on) existing sources of data on firms in LICs.
One of PEDL’s objectives concerns building the community of scholars working on the above mentioned issues, so applications and proposals from Ph.D students are highly welcome. As a result, these grants can be extremely useful for talented Ph.D students planning to work in development or needing funds for their dissertation.
Grant set-up:
Exploratory Research Grant (ERG) projects will run for 12 months.
Please note that contracts will be signed 3 months after the application deadline, which is also the expected start date for the projects.
Contracts are generally signed with the researcher directly; we do not anticipate any institutional involvement.
For further information on ERGs, please consult the FAQs.
Criteria:
Please note that an important criteria for funding of proposals is the relevance to policy in Low-Income Countries and other eligible countries as defined by the PEDL Programme. See the list of LICs and here.
Please note that South Sudan is also an eligible LIC.
Deadlines:
The deadline for the 21st ERG round is 5pm GMT on October 31, 2016. Applications received after this time will be considered for the 22nd round of the ERGs.
We are seeking paper presentations on highly skilled migrants and brain waste in the (European) labour market for the annual IMISCOE conference in Rotterdam, 28 – 30 June 2017. Please submit abstracts by 1 December 2016.
Topic and Scope
Highly skilled migration is a major phenomenon in a globalized world. The international mobility of talent has important implications for source and destination countries. To date, most studies have focused on the so-called brain drain (i.e. human capital emigration from developing countries). Recent research, however, has increasingly emphasized the phenomenon of brain waste: the underutilization of migrant education and skills in the host country. Such a labour market mismatch is often referred to as over-education (also referred to as over-qualification, over-schooling or surplus schooling. The term educational mismatch is broader; it covers both over- and under-education. Under-education occurs when workers have lower levels of education than is required for their job.). Consider the example of a migrant scientist who works as a taxi driver.
We are seeking innovative quantitative papers that examine the (different) reasons and consequences of brain waste, including contributions to better measurement of skills mismatch, either in vertical or horizontal terms. Possible research questions are the propensity of immigrants to become self-employed as a result of mismatch, their propensity to (re-) migrate due to mismatch, or their likelihood to send remittances. We particularly welcome papers that fully account for the gender dimension of brain waste.
Furthermore, the current literature does not adequately address the question of the skills mismatch a migrant would have experienced – if any – if he or she stayed in the country of origin. Notions of brain drain, and brain waste should ideally take into consideration these counterfactuals. After all, the migrant scientist working as a taxi driver may not have found adequate employment in the country of origin.
Conference
IMISCOE Annual Conference, 28 – 30 June 2017, Rotterdam
Trade policies, price shocks, and changes in exchange rates have a distributional impact whenever they affect the relative price of goods that are consumed at different intensities by high and low-income households. Low-income households consume relatively more tradeables (such as food), while high-income households consume relatively more non-tradeables (such as personal services). If trade policy, for example, causes an increase on the price of food, a low-income household is likely to suffer a greater negative impact than a high-income household.
To understand the impact on welfare of changes in relative prices through the expenditure channel a common modelling approach is based on non-homothetic preferences. These provide the theoretical background for the construction of models that can be used in structural estimation of the cost of living. For the estimation part, a growing body of work in international trade adopts the Almost-Ideal Demand System (AIDS), although other forms of demand estimation are also being used. The increasing availability of detailed microdata facilitates the evaluation of changes in welfare of households at different income levels, in particular the welfare effects associated with prices changes of different types of product as well as different qualities within a product category.
The general conclusion of this research is that the nature of the shock determines the variation in the welfare effects across groups at different income levels. Trade liberalization or the entry of large retailers in the domestic market have in some cases been beneficial to low-income households. On the other hand a large exchange rate devaluation has been found not to be beneficial. The formation of MERCOSUR, a customs union in Latin America was found to be beneficial to the poor in Argentina but the formation of the North American Free Trade Agreement was found to hurt the poor in Mexico.
The legacy of Ludwig Lachmann Interdisciplinary perspectives on institutions, agency and uncertainty
Third WINIR Symposium
11-13 April 2017
University of the Witwatersrand
Johannesburg, South Africa
Ludwig M. Lachmann (1906-1990) was an outstanding social scientist whose achievements ranged across a number of disciplines, including economics, sociology, law and philosophy. Well known for his work on Max Weber, his analysis of the limitations of equilibrium economics, and his contributions to the development of Austrian economics, Lachmann’s legacy revolves around three central themes: radical subjectivism, hermeneutics and human agency; market process and legal order; capital theory and macroeconomics.
To celebrate Lachmann’s life and work, WINIR is holding a Symposium at his former university in South Africa. Submissions on any of the above topics, or any other topic related to Lachmann’s research, are welcome. Papers can be supportive or critical of Lachmann’s views. The Symposium will use Lachmann’s work as a point of departure to generate a wide-ranging discussion of the relations between uncertainty, agency and institutions.
Abstract submissions (300 words max.) from any discipline and theoretical approach are welcome.
Submissions will be evaluated by the WINIR Scientific Quality Committee: Bas van Bavel (Utrecht, history), Simon Deakin (Cambridge, law), Geoff Hodgson (Hertfordshire, economics), Uskali Mäki (Helsinki, philosophy), Katharina Pistor (Columbia, law), Sven Steinmo (EUI, politics), Wolfgang Streeck (Max Planck Institute Cologne, sociology), Linda Weiss (Sydney, politics).
Conference Dates: Apr 11, 2017 to Apr 13, 2017
Deadline for paper submissions: Nov 30, 2016
Deadline for participant registration: Tuesday, March 14, 2017
