   Melia, Elvis (2019)

   Burchi, Francesco / Daniele Malerba / Nicole Rippin / Claudio E. Montenegro (2019)

   To what extent did poverty fall? Is poverty higher among women? The Discussion Paper finds that the decline in income poverty is twice as large as that in multidimensional poverty. Gender differences in poverty levels are minimal, while there is a minimal sign of the feminization of poverty.

    What role do cultural values play in democracy support? Western donors promote liberal values in recipient countries as part of their governance programmes, but these may clash with local values and attitudes. We explore how (mis)matching values mediate the effectiveness of democracy support.
