Among the root causes of the current
political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)
region are the large numbers of unemployed but increasingly
educated youth. For the region to achieve stability, it will
have to ensure a more inclusive and faster growth path and
find enough jobs for this cohort. Exports will play a key
role in moving in this direction and this fast brief
examines the impact of Matching Grants (MG) in supporting
exports. This quick note is another addition to this body of
work and presents results from one of the first ex-post
Impact Evaluation (IE) of an active export promotion MG in a
middle income country, Tunisia. This IE was undertaken in
preparation of a lending operation. Finally, it must be
noted that with the matching process, the untreated group
with high propensity score will be more used for comparison
than those with low propensity score so this will give more
weight to firms that were 'targeted' by second
Export Market Access Fund (EMAF). Hence it is key to see if
the firms especially targeted by second EMAF would have done
better or worse without the support. |
