We employ a staggered DID method to examine the BRI's impact on the intensity of agricultural product trade networks and explore its underlying mechanisms. The key findings are as follows: (1) The BRI can significantly enhance the position of participating countries within agricultural product trade networks; (2) the benefits of the initiative are particularly prominent among the least developed countries and low-income, food-deficit countries; (3) through three main channels—an inclusive development effect, cross-border capital allocation effect and agricultural production efficiency effect—the BRI plays multiple roles in boosting the intensity of participating countries' agricultural product trade networks; (4) a subcategory analysis on grains, fruits and vegetables shows that the BRI exerts an apparent positive effect on various types of crucial agricultural product trade networks; (5) tests of spatial effects demonstrate that the BRI produces significant spillover effects, lifting neighbouring countries' positions in the agricultural product trade network.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 5","pages":"841-855"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148395035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing studies have identified several structural determinants of time poverty, relatively little is known about the role of behavioural factors such as subjective time preferences. This study examines the relationship between subjective time preferences and time poverty in Ghana, with a particular focus on the mediating roles of committed time in informal work and consumption-based welfare. Using data from the seventh round of the Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS 7) and an instrumental variable mediation framework to address potential endogeneity, we find that households headed by more impatient individuals are 3% less likely to be associated with time poverty. Decomposing this association reveals that adjustments in committed time in informal work are the dominant mediating channel, accounting for a substantial share of the total effect. The finding suggests that impatience can reduce time poverty by limiting prolonged engagement in time-intensive informal activities. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the negative association between impatient household heads and time poverty is stronger among males, adults, urban residents and noninsured households. The results highlight the importance of incorporating behavioural preferences into analyses of time poverty and point to policies that improve work quality, welfare and labour market stability as key levers for reducing excessive time burdens.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 5","pages":"812-826"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148395063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notably, there is a knowledge gap on how progress in ECI affects IGG. Second, there is a policy gap concerning how progress in energy equity conditions the impact of ECI on IGG. We address these gaps by employing cross-country data from 35 SSA countries for the period 2010–2020. Findings from instrumental-variable regression analysis indicate that ECI does not promote IGG. Particularly, we find that although ECI promotes economic growth, it comes at the expense of income equity and environmental sustainability. The contingency analysis also demonstrates that while improving energy equity amplifies (mitigates) the growth effect (inequality downside) of ECI, it exacerbates the environmental cost. These findings underscore the need for policymakers to design complementary and compensatory policy mechanisms that ensure SSA's drive toward economic complexity translates into greener and more inclusive growth.</p>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 5","pages":"883-904"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jid.70096","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148395166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
