“…Changes were made to the 2009 SAM to account for the objectives of our study:it includes 6 categories of households and 3 rest-of-world groups (WAEMU, China and Rest of World). For the structure of the household account, we retained the household groups specified in the study by Balma et al (2010), but the data on consumption expenditures are calculated using the 2012 supply-use table (SUT) 18 .…”

“…categories defined inBalma et al (2010) were used to group together formal sector private and public employees, and self-employed and inactive households, to have six household categories in the 2012 SAM. We grouped together households in the 2012 SUT with information from the links to other accounts in the SAM used for the grouping of households.…”

The impact of economic and trade expansion of China on Burkina Faso's economy is analyzed in this work through three channels: trade in goods and services, foreign direct investment and development assistance. To capture the direct and indirect effects of Chinese growth, we use a computable general equilibrium model. The results show that expanded trade with China leads to an increase in domestic prices, an increase in exports to China among product categories for which exports increases, and an increase in imports. The effect on growth, value added ad household wellbeing is small. We find a decline in domestic prices, an increase in exports and a decline in imports. Higher FDI inflows induce additional economic growth equal, increased total labour demand and increased average household well-being, especially among cotton farmers.

“…Similar to other studies that have used a CGE model to evaluate the effects of natural-resource discoveries, our paper evaluates the impact of the decline in international gold prices and the effects of tax reforms on the gold sector. Note that previous applications of CGE models to the economy of Burkina Faso include responses to questions of trade liberalization (Zerbo et al , 2010); public-education spending and poverty (Balma et al , 2012); analysis of the effects of increasing public-education spending on monetary and caloric poverty of children (Gottschalk et al , 2009; Cockburn et al , 2016); and analysis of the 2007/2008 economic and financial crisis (Balma et al , 2010). Thus, among CGE studies applied to Burkina Faso, none have yet addressed the question of the mining boom and the resource curse, which is the focus of our work.…”

Since 2007, Burkina Faso's mining sector has grown quickly, with gold replacing cotton as the country's biggest export. The decline in gold prices since 2012, however, has hit the Burkina Faso economy hard. Using a static computable general equilibrium model, we assess whether – in a context of gold-price decline and volatility – an increase in the tax burden on the mining sector, as implemented by the government of Burkina Faso, is the appropriate way to avoid the natural resource curse. The results show that a tax policy based solely on increasing taxes on the gold sector brings only limited economic benefits, notably in terms of employment, and fails to significantly mitigate the effects of gold-price volatility.
