Economic Effects of Climate Change and Food Insecurity in
Niger’s exposure to recurrent shocks, including climate shocks, increases its vulnerability to food insecurity. This paper aims to quantify the combined effects of climate shocks and food insecurity on key economic variables and identify the most effective mitigation policy responses using a general equilibrium model. Results indicate that rural households would be the most affected by a climate shock resulting in a decline in domestic agricultural production, which would reduce their consumption, erode their capital, and thus increase urban-rural inequalities. Simulations show that cash transfers and the reduction of internal mobility costs appear to be more effective in mitigating the impact on households of a climate shock on agricultural production.
Financial Inclusion in Niger: Challenges and Opportunities
Financial inclusion can increase economic growth and productivity and reduce poverty and inequality by helping people and firms—particularly SMEs—to save and invest, smooth consumption, and better manage financial risks. This paper highlights Niger’s lag compared to other WAEMU countries in terms of access to and use of formal financial services, including for women and youth, and underscores key demand and supply side challenges to financial inclusion as well as structural impediments. It lays out key priorities for Niger to harness the potential of greater financial inclusion to support the country’s development agenda, including efforts to tackle low financial literacy, promote digitization, and address informality.

The Encyclopedia of Occult Sciences
To those who will only believe in phenomena which are reproducible at will, it is easy to answer them: you do not manufacture comets, meteorites, magnetic disturbances due to sunspots, and yet you observe them. Metapsychical phenomena are registered in the records of Occultism. That is all. The only thing to do is to check them. But the right remains to unite them amongst themselves by an attempt at a general explanation. The study of the Invisible, of the forces which it conceals, of the human fluids, is yet but at its dawn. Patience ! To deny is absurd. To observe is scientific. To think is wise. This is what I have done. It is what you will do after having read this book, the well arranged summing up of vast reading and lengthy thought.
