DESCRIPTION:*Following the Fukushima nuclear accident\, Germany has adopted
  the 2011 Atomic Energy Act (Atomgesetz)\, which plans the phase-out of nuc
 lear power by 2022. It establishes the immediate and permanent shutdown of 
 half of the country’s nuclear reactors and the gradual closure of the rem
 aining ones. Previous literature shows that this phase-out entails a signif
 icant transformation of the German energy market\, with considerable change
 s in the electricity mix\, imports and prices. Using German Socio-Economic 
 Panel (SOEP) data at the district scale and the Difference-in-Difference ap
 proach\, this paper aims to evaluate the impacts of this exogenous policy o
 n labour market outcomes. I develop different empirical strategies to asses
 s two distinct classes of effects. First\, I quantify direct and induced ef
 fects\, at the local scale\, on nuclear workers and the surrounding economy
 . To do so\, I compare variations in labour outcomes before and after the p
 hase-out between places experiencing or not a nuclear reactor closure. Then
 \, I measure an indirect effect\, through the general growth in electricity
  prices\, by contrasting changes in labour outcomes before and after the ph
 ase-out between regions with a high/low employment rate in electricity-inte
 nsive manufacturing sectors. This study aspires to help fill the gap in emp
 irical work assessing the effects of large-scale nuclear shutdowns\, a poli
 cy considered by other countries\, as well as to contribute to the discussi
 on on the consequences of ambitious energy policies and the current rise of
  electricity prices.**Who should be the target of health policy and interve
 ntions in sub-Saharan Africa? Despite the well-documented relationship betw
 een economic resources and health outcomes\, recent evidence shows that peo
 ple with health needs are majoritarily not found in poor households. In thi
 s paper\, I use a structural equation model (SEM) to simultaneously estimat
 e and characterize deficits in health status\, empowerment\, and access to 
 health care\, using individual survey data from rural Senegal (the ANRS1235
 6 AmBASS survey). I find that individuals living in resource-rich household
 s are more likely to experience lower levels of empowerment\, while reporti
 ng better health\, and optimal access to health services. In contrast\, emp
 owerment increases with individual earnings\, and is significantly associat
 ed with improved health status. These results suggest that empowerment is t
 he missing puzzle piece in the complex relationship between health and pove
 rty in rural sub-Saharan Africa. A SEM-based model of health capability off
 ers a way forward in pinpointing individuals to be targeted by a differenti
 ated yet complementary set of policy and interventions for the promotion of
  health status\, decision-making latitude\, and access to healthcare\, resp
 ectively. In particular\, the model identifies cumulative vulnerabilities i
 n women and permanent residents\, and sheds light on intrinsic motivation a
 s a shared lever for overall health capability.\\n\\nContact: Camille Hainn
