A bibliography of applications of operational research in sub-Saharan Africa

There continues to be considerable interest in the potential for applying Operational Research (OR) in less‐developed countries. A recent paper provided a bibliography of published research from West Africa. This paper extends that bibliography to the other sub‐Saharan nations, with the omission of South Africa. In some parts of this region, there have been numerous applications described in the literature, while in others there is very little on record. As in the earlier paper, the material has been collected from a wide range of journals, extending from the regular OR literature to many application journals. In addition to the references, the paper describes the manner of collection of this information, and discusses the resulting picture of OR in sub‐Saharan Africa.

There is considerable interest in the potential for using operational research (O.R.) in developing countries. One sign of this is the formation of new societies for O.R. scientists in countries and regions where no such society had existed. Since 2003, such societies have been formed in several parts of Africa. This paper focuses on West Africa, and presents a bibliography of papers relating to applications of O.R. in the nations of this part of the continent. The paper describes the way in which the bibliography was collated and discusses the overall picture that the list of papers presents of the state of O.R. in the 18 countries that are considered.

Migration in Third World Settings, Uneven Development, and Conventional Modeling: A Case Study of Costa Rica

This paper examines how an area's development milieu affects the various components of the migration process. After reviewing the literature on migration-development interrelationships, we employ conventional statistical modeling to understand movement among Costa Rican cantons during a five-year period . This is done for the country as a whole, enabling cross-national comparisons with earlier studies, and for urban-to-urban, urban-to-rural, rural-to-urban, and rural-to-rural streams, which are compared with one another. The results indicate that the models describe urbanbased migrations better than rural-based ones; variables closely associated with the market economy have a weaker role in rural settings: and push factors of migration are as important as pull factors. Finally, the spatial pattern of variation in migration processes is consistent with core-periphery development models and with earlier observations of an urban bias in Third World research.
