Descripción
This paper examines gender differentiated asset dynamics over a 20 year period (1988-2008) in Northern Nigeria. The paper first examines the state of the literature on poverty dynamics, especially with respect to gender differences and agriculture. We then present new evidence to investigate whether there has been a catch-up effect for women in agricultural households who had initially low assets in 1988 and whether asset inequality within households is predicted by initial assets.
