How Does Growth Affect Labor Income by Gender? A Structural Path Analysis for Tanzania

Juan Carlos Parra () and Quentin Wodon

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper uses structural path analysis to examine the transmission channels through which an initial shock travels through the economy to affect other accounts of a Social Accounting Matrix. The focus is on the impact of shocks on labor income by gender in Tanzania and the analysis is used to characterize what we call the concentration, strength, and speed of various transmission channels.
