Services and Economic Development in Africa

This website hosts the online appendix for the recently published ‘Services and Economic Development in Africa’ report by Leonardo Baccini, Matteo Fiorini, Bernard Hoekman and Marco Sanfilippo. We have deployed this online tool in order to showcase graphs and maps on sectoral and occupational dynamics in Africa over available census waves in the IPUMS International database. The code used in the appendix and this website are developed and maintained by Lorenzo Sileci, a Research Associate at the EUI Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (Global Governance Programme), and PhD Student in Environmental Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). If you use the data and the code, please cite us as ‘Baccini, L., Fiorini, M., Hoekman, B. and Sanfilippo, M. (2021) Services and Economic Development in Africa, IGC Working Paper N. F-20086-NOC-1’
