“…The findings of Sanjuan and Dawson (2004) and Bocoum et al (2014) support the Engel curve hypothesis within the context of Bangladesh and Mali respectively. First, Engel curve hypothesis argues that calorie consumption is determined by the level of income.…”

“…Second, advocates of the efficiency wage hypothesis maintain that income is determined by calorie consumption: higher wages allow workers to consume more calories, so they become healthier and more productive. The findings of Sanjuan and Dawson (2004) and Bocoum et al (2014) support the Engel curve hypothesis within the context of Bangladesh and Mali respectively. Dawson and Sanjuan (2011) provided the evidence supporting both the Engel curve and efficiency wage hypotheses for 41 developing countries.…”

This study investigates the cointegration and causal relationships between remittances and calorie consumption as an indicator of food security in Algeria. We estimate the calorie demand function for the period 1970‐2008, using two different cointegration tests Johansen and Juselius () and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach proposed by Pesaran et al. () and Granger causality test based on Vector Error Correction Model. We find that: (1) GDP per capita affects calorie consumption positively and significantly; (2) income elasticity of calorie consumption is 0.16 in the short run and 0.60 in the long run; (3) remittances positively and significantly influence calorie consumption in the long run; (4) remittance elasticity of calorie consumption is 0.05 in the long run; (5) based on the causality test remittances influence calorie consumption directly and indirectly via GDP per capita in the long run.

“…Bocoum, Dury, Egg, Herrera, and Prevel (2014) examined food insecurity with regard to monetary poverty. Utilizing a Malian review exceptionally detailed information on food consumption, we estimate that 35% of the households are in a paradoxical situation, some poor households managing their caloric requirements by eating cheap calories and some nonpoor households not doing so because they consume expensive calories and/or face constraints such as the obligation to share meals with visitors and high-expenditure on health care or transportation.…”

The purpose of this study is to review a major section of the literature on macroeconomics and poverty to achieve better perspectives on emerging macroeconomic research streams. The article examines the research on macroeconomics and poverty relationship and presents a conceptual framework. This article discusses the studies published on gross domestic product (GDP) growth, income distribution, inequality, inflation, unemployment, and poverty. An international journal and different articles related to the relatioship between macroeconomics and poverty are examined. The study contributes to the macroeconomic literature by identifying key areas of research on the relationship between macroeconomics and poverty. This survey article is special in that it examines the macroeconomics and poverty literature and summarizes the results to gain a proper understanding of macroeconomics and poverty and also provides perspectives for future research.

This study explores the impact of technical efficiency (TE) on women empowerment in livestock index (WELI) in feed the future zone of Bangladesh. Considering the livestock farming households a total of 906 data (out of 2064) were extracted from the national representative data set of the Bangladesh integrated household survey (BIHS) in 2018. The descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, Alkire Forster methodology, stochastic frontier model, and ordered probit regression modeling were applied for achieving the objective. The results found that the overall WELI score was 0.735 where about 26.65% (WELI score ≥0.80) of women were empowered. The TE score was 0.941 and 0.942 for male and 0.940 for female and male-headed households, respectively. The research revealed found that a positively significant (P<0.05) relationship between TE and WELI. Moreover, higher levels of TE are associated to reduce with the gender disparities. The researchers suggest that encouraging women to participate in livestock production is a good idea; as a result, women's empowerment has a lot of potentials to boost livestock productivity. Hence, our findings provide important evidence showing the positive impact of technical efficiency on women’s empowerment and gender parity within the livestock farming household and may higher level associatively with SDGs.
