  • 2022 IARIW-TNBS Conference on “Measuring Income, Wealth And
    2022 IARIW-TNBS Conference on “Measuring Income, Wealth and Well-being in Africa” Paper Prepared for the IARIW-TNBS Conference, Arusha Tanzania April 14-15, 2022 “Is Inequality Systematically Underestimated in Sub-Saharan Africa? A Proposal to Overcome the Problem” Vasco Molini (World Bank), Fabio Clementi (University of Macerata, Italy), Michele Fabiani (University of Macerata, Italy), Francesco Schettino (University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”, Naples, Italy) This paper postulates that inequality is highly underestimated in Africa due to the use of consumption as a welfare measure. Generalizing a methodology proposed by Clementi et al. (2020) we show that combining consumption and income we can approach a more realistic welfare distribution in the continent. Over the last twenty years, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has experienced an unprecedented resurgence of economic growth. While this growth is encouraging for the prospects of SSA’s economic development, a debate is ongoing regarding its nature and outcomes. While most countries in SSA have experienced reductions in poverty, this progress has been relatively slow compared to other non-African developing countries experiencing similar growth rates. An intuitive explanation for this sub-optimal performance is given by the abundant literature on growth non-inclusiveness in SSA. Several economists working on post-colonial SSA have argued that the growth process was described as a rent-seeking one: driven by rising rents from resource extraction as the form and function of extractive institutions from a colonial past have been maintained. In a nutshell, economic growth, when driven by a resource boom and presided over by extractive institutions, disproportionately benefits a country’s ruling elite rather than the poor.
