This paper explores the role of export costs in the process of poverty reduction in rural Africa. We claim that the marketing costs that emerge when the commercialization of export crops requires intermediaries can lead to lower participation into export cropping and, thus, to higher poverty. We test the model using data from the Uganda National Household Survey. We show that: i. farmers living in villages with fewer outlets for sales of agricultural exports are likely to be poorer than farmers residing in market-endowed villages; ii. market availability leads to increased household participation in export cropping (coffee, tea, cotton, fruits); iii. households engaged in export cropping are less likely to be poor than subsistence-based households. We conclude that the availability of markets for agricultural export crops help realize the gains from trade. This result uncovers the role of complementary factors that provide market access and reduce marketing costs as key building blocks in the link between the gains from export opportunities and the poor.

Comment l'internet a-t-il pu devenir si important, et si rapidement ? Pourquoi a-t-il profondément bouleversé nos processus de production, de consommation, nos mécanismes économiques et sociaux ? Aujourd'hui, à l'ère du numérique, il est inconcevable d'apprendre, de travailler, de partager, de créer, d'informer comme avant. Cet ouvrage, rédigé par une des figures marquantes de l'internet en France, permet de bien comprendre tous les profonds changements de notre société entrée dans l'ère de l'interaction et de la complexité. Serge Soudoplatoff retrace l'histoire du réseau et de sa gouvernance, depuis ses racines jusqu'à la promesse d'un monde plus ouvert. Il analyse en profondeur les ruptures engendrées par l'internet selon trois grands axes : l'explosion du modèle communautaire ; la puissance de l'économie de l'immatériel ; et la part croissante de la co-création. Il propose aussi un éclairage complet de son impact actuel sur l'entreprise, la finance, l'éducation, la vie politique, la démocratie, et sur toutes les transformations à venir, afin de mieux fabriquer notre futur. Très pédagogique et accessible à tous, c'est un livre indispensable à tous ceux qui veulent et doivent utiliser au mieux les facteurs de progrès de l'internet, et tirer profit de toutes les opportunités du numérique : aux élus locaux qui doivent faire des choix de gouvernance et d'investissements, aux étudiants, aux responsables de l'innovation ou de recherche et développement, aux chefs d'entreprises, mais aussi à nous tous, simples internautes. Car la question de l'internet implique chacun de ses usagers, qui sont aussi ses co-créateurs.
