Southern AfricaPrimary Investigator

About the Project

This project aims to foster sustainable and inclusive economic development in South Africa. We anticipate that the project will significantly contribute to the advancement of economic knowledge and policy-making strategies that promote inclusivity, sustainability, and growth in South Africa. Focusing on South Africa’s Employment Tax Incentive (ETI) programme, this we seek to understand the impact of labour incentives on inclusive employment and firm-level total factor productivity. We anticipate that the findings from our firm-level and sectoral analyses will have important implications for evidence-based policy interventions in South Africa and for countries with similar economic structures. In addition, we also anticipate the project to contribution significantly in terms of international scholarly collaboration in Australia and the U.S., as well as skill transfer and capacity building within the institution and department.
