Climate change policies and strategies for central banks: Central Bank of Kenya and International Food Policy Research Institute sign a memorandum of understanding
No full textEconomies are exposed to myriads of external risks such as production variability from climate shocks, volatility in global commodity prices, fluctuations in foreign investments, among other risks. For instance, climate change, a key determinant of production variability, continues to dominate the global risk landscape posing a long-term threat to the global economy.

Shaping the future of Kenya tax policy: Introducing the new Kenya tax CGE model
No full textKenya’s Medium-Term Revenue Strategy (MTRS FY2024/25-2026/27) which aligns to the Fourth Medium Plan (MTP 2023-2027), aims at raising sufficient resources for the delivery of Government’s priority programmes under the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda. The strategy provides a comprehensive approach of effective tax system reforms to boost revenue collection and improve the tax system over the medium term.
In Kenya, taxes form major source of government revenue for delivery of essential public services, and a policy tool to influence economic behavior, promote equity and achieve developmental goals. For instance, in the financial year 2023/2024, taxes accounted for 85.5 percent of total government revenue (National Treasury, 2024). Given the expansion of fiscal expenditure demands, optimizing Kenya’s major tax revenue sources is essential to achieving a sustainable balance between revenue generation and minimal distortion on economic welfare
Kenya Food Security Simulator (KFSS): Analyzing household data for food security insights
No full textRecently, food security in the world has been heavily impacted by a series of complex crises calling for quick policy actions to respond to them. To inform such actions, innovative policy analysis tools are needed to not only inform but also guide policy direction when the crisis hits unexpectedly. It is in this view that Kenya Food Security Simulator (KFSS) has been jointly developed by Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA), Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), and International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) under the CGIAR initiative on National Policies and Strategies. The tool, designed in Excel, enables quick evaluations of direct household level outcomes of economic crises and policy responses in a timely manner. KFSS allows for a first-cut assessment of potential short-term impacts of food price or household income changes on food consumption, diet quality ,and other food security indicators among Kenya’s population groups.
KFSS was officially launched on 21st June, 2023 during KIPPRA’s 6th annual regional conference at Pwani University, Kilifi, Kenya

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
