Developing countries suffer from rising urban pollution levels, with associated negative effects on health and worker productivity. We study how managers in developing country cities cope with the polluted environment. We collect high resolution pollution measurements within Ugandan cities and match these with a novel firm survey. We find that firms locate in close proximity to major polluted roads, which bundle a bad (exposure to pollution) with a good (market demand). Higher ability...

Using data from 38 Sub-Saharan African countries for the period from 1980 to 2017, this paper investigates the effects of globalization on environmental pollution by making distinction between the de jure and de facto aspects. The de facto globalization measures include variables that represent flows and activities whereas the de jure measures include variables that represent economic policies that, in principle, orient flows and activities. The second generation panel data tests by Pesaran...

Abstract Background: Scientific progress and developments in technology have improved our understanding of climate change and its potential impacts on smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The persistence of such smallholder farming systems, despite multiple exposures to climate hazards, demonstrates a capacity to respond or adapt. However, the scale and intensity of climate change impacts on smallholder farming systems in SSA will overwhelm any indigenous coping...
