“…Ces résultats pour l'Afrique subsaharienne doivent toutefois être interprétés avec prudence, compte tenu de la taille réduite de l'échantillon pour la région, qui couvre une période où peu de changements dans les indicateurs de concurrence sont observables (tableau 2.13 de l'annexe). d'emploi et de revenu et en limitant les pratiques discriminatoires (Begazo et Nyman, 2016).…”

“…The interest-bearing feature of CBDC also contributes to the competitiveness of the banking system. These are particularly important for EMDEs, as monopolies and high concentrations in sectors cause more damage in EMDEs than in AEs (Begazo & Nyman, 2016).…”

Central banks have historically been using traditional channels for communication and physical money for transactions, fulfilling the needs of previous millennia, while the evolution of technology, electronic devices, and needs in transactions necessitate the use of modern communication channels, such as X (formerly known as Twitter), as well as modern payment systems, such as central bank digital currencies (CBDC). Hence, this paper aims to unfold where the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT), as an example of emerging markets, stands in informing the public about CBDC. To this end, it conducts an event study on the official X account of CBRT in English over 10.2020-12.2022 by utilizing Nvivo. The findings of the quantitative analysis of the tweets show that CBRT does not regard X as a primary communication channel and mainly shares links to publications from the official websites in X. Also, CBRT tends to adopt a ‘cold-turkey’ informative approach about CBDC with the public rather than ‘gradualism’. Consequently, CBRT should rigorously design a communication strategy that fulfills the needs of the modern economy and start addressing CBDC to raise awareness if a quick transition to digital currency is targeted.

“…Begazo and Nyman (2016) show that removing four cartels (in maize, wheat, poultry, and pharmaceuticals) in South Africa led to a decrease in the overall national poverty rate by 0.4 percentage points. Argent and Begazo (2015) find that poverty in Kenya would be reduced by 1.5% if trade barriers in the sugar market are relaxed.…”

In this paper, we theoretically and empirically analyze the impact of competition on poverty. We consider a general equilibrium framework with vertical preferences and compare poverty in a Monopoly setting versus a Duopoly setting considering explicitly the ownership structure. Poverty is measured by the size of the population living below an absolute poverty line. Theoretical results show that the impact of competition on poverty is contingent to the ownership structure, the poverty line and the relative dispersion of the individuals with respect to their intensity of preference for quality and sensitivity to effort: competition can improve or worsen poverty depending on the model's parameters. Empirical findings for the three existing poverty lines ($1.9, $3.2, and $5.5) are consistent to a large extent with our theoretical results.
