   Discussion Paper, 33/2021

   Social protection programmes and their adaptation in times of the COVID-19 pandemic can be beneficial for social cohesion. Policy-makers aiming to preserve social cohesion should consider the expansion and adaption of social protection schemes in times of large covariate shocks.

7. Institutional change through development assistance: the comparative advantages of political and adaptive approaches

   

   Roll, Michael (2021)
   Discussion Paper, 28/2021

   Development assistance often fails to achieve institutional change. New political and adaptive approaches to development assistance show more promise. The discussion paper shows for which problems, in which contexts and which outcomes this may be the case.
