Abrams M.E. Tagem presents at the CERDI research seminar

UNU-WIDER Research Associate Abrams M.E. Tagem presents at the research seminar of the Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches sur le Développement International (CERDI), on 5 December 2023 in Clermont-Ferrand, France.

He presents the WIDER Working Paper Taxation and electoral accountability in sub-Saharan Africa, authored together with Roel Dom and Oliver Morrissey. The working paper analyses data for up to 47 African countries from 1980 to 2019 and shows a robust positive correlation between tax revenue and accountability.

The research paper has been published under the UNU-WIDER project  Fiscal states – the origins and developmental implications, which is part of UNU-WIDER' programme on Domestic Revenue Mobilization (DRM).
