DESCRIPTION:*Female early marriage remains a common feature of marriages in
  developing countries\, hindering women’s health\, education and well-bei
 ng outcomes. In Egypt\, a major Muslim country of the Middle East North Afr
 ica region\, around 17% of women were married by age 18 in 2014. Yet\, in 2
 008\, a child law reform raised the legal minimum age of marriage in the co
 untry from 15 to 18 years old. This project leverages the quasi-natural exp
 eriment arising from this ban to understand the changes it induced on the E
 gyptian marriage market. Theoretically\, two mechanisms might be at play an
 d will be tested: the law could have dissuaded families from engaging in e
 arly marriages\, delaying marriages for women and allowing them to accumula
 te more premarital resources. However\, the law could have also raised the
  value of young brides\, increasing bride price and modifying negotiation t
 erms of marriage contracts for these women. Using a panel data from the Egy
 pt Labour Market Panel Survey data (2006\, 2012\, 2018)\, I will study the 
 impacts of this child law on marriage outcomes in order to disentangle thes
 e potential effects.**In this presentation\, I will give an overview of my
  PhD research project. Motivated by the trajectory of some representative s
 outh-American countries\, I propose a new mechanism not explored yet in the
 oretical literature regarding how a country can dynamically evolve in its i
 nequality\, public education expenditure\, and preferences for redistributi
 on. After discussing how this mechanism relates to the central literature o
 n the topic\, I will present the main blocks of an intergenerational politi
 cal economy model of inequality with a public education expenditure policy 
 affecting social mobility and pre-tax income inequality. Finally\, after di
 scussing the model\, I will briefly present a research idea on implementing
  an empirical assessment of the mechanism in these particular south-America
 n countries.***Vulnerable communities who rely on subsistence farming are d
 isproportionately more likely to be negatively impacted by slow-onset clima
 te change and weather shocks. This paper proposes a model of two adaptation
  mechanisms: short-distance (seasonal) migration and informal risk sharing 
 in the presence of networks. We look into decisions taken in two periods: f
 irst\, after realization of transfers\, a household chooses between sending
  a migrant and investing into its crop. Second\, “migrant households” w
 ho realize a positive migration income (or remittance) will decide whether 
 to stay or not in the risk-sharing network. Looking into this dual effect w
 ill allow us to disentangle first the effect of weather-related vulnerabili
 ty on migration decisions and then on local risk sharing networks\, which o
 ften play an important consumption-smoothing role in low-income agrarian co
 mmunities.\\n\\nContact: Kenza Elass: kenza.elass[at]univ-amu.frCamille Hai
