DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

In Economics:Sunday Olabisi AdewaraThesis Title: Provision of public goods and health outcomes during political transition in Nigeria

Sunday Adewara was born in Ijara-Isin, Kwara State, Nigeria. He has a BSc(Hons) and an MSc in Economics, both from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. He was a lecturer in the department of Economics in the same university between 2004 and 2008. Sunday Adewara’s PhD thesis focuses on the provision of public goods and health outcomes during political transition from military to democratically elected government in Nigeria. He finds that allocation of public expenditure on basic services such as health, water and education are positively related to political power competition despite the problem of electoral malpractices and political capture by special interest groups in the country. However, at the household level, his thesis shows that access to safe drinking water significantly declined in the country under democratic rule compared to under military rule. In addition, his findings show that inequality in health significantly rose in the country to the disadvantage of children in poor households between 1999 and 2008. The study shows that change of power from military to democratic rule may be worse for the poor when elections are not credible. He finds no evidence that the poor are better-off under democratic rule than under military rule in the country. His analysis of the effects of different sources of water and sanitation on health outcomes shows that drinking of well water and lack of access to improved sanitation significantly retards children’s growth in the country.

John Ele-Ojo AtagubaThesis Title: Distributional impact of health care finance in South Africa

John Ataguba holds a BSc(Hons) degree in Economics, awarded in the first class, from the University of Nigeria; and an MPH specialising in Health Economics from UCT. He is a Commonwealth scholar and has been a lecturer/researcher at the Health Economics Unit, UCT since 2008. John Ataguba’s PhD thesis assesses the relative impact of health care financing on households’ income. It also explores methodological issues around such assessments in the context of South Africa. He uses a nationally representative quantitative data set, and some plausible assumptions about who bears the final burden of health care financing. It is found that total health care financing in South Africa is progressive and redistributes income to the poor. Out-of-pocket payments are proportional, all indirect taxes are regressive, private health insurance and all direct taxes are progressive. Further, direct taxes, private health insurance and general taxes redistribute income from the rich to the poor while the reverse is the case for indirect taxes and out-of-pocket payments. There also exist substantial differential treatments, especially in financing health care out-of-pocket and through private health insurance in South Africa. The results point to the need to promote a more equitable health care financing system in South Africa.

Pieter Eduard GrebeThesis Title: Civil society leadership in the struggle for AIDS treatment in South Africa and Uganda

Eduard Grebe obtained a BA(Hons) and an MA in Philosophy from the University of Stellenbosch. After working in AIDS activism and organised labour he joined the Centre for Social Science Research in 2007 to work on an ‘AIDS leadership’ research project that evolved to become his doctoral research. Eduard Grebe’s PhD thesis examines theoretically and empirically the notion of ‘civil society leadership’ on AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa using both

qualitative and quantitative techniques. It draws on a range of theories and proposes a framework emphasizing ‘transnational networks’ to conceptualise AIDS activism and leadership. Two detailed case studies of civil society mobilisation on AIDS – the Treatment Action Campaign in South Africa and the AIDS Support Organisation in Uganda – show that transnational networks and civil society coalitions were key to the influence of these movements on both domestic and international AIDS policy, but that modes of organisation are constrained by institutional and political context. A cross-country econometric analysis fails to support a strong relationship between the presence of AIDS NGOs and African states’ treatment and prevention performance, suggesting that only some civil society mobilisation is successful. Regression analysis of South African survey data shows, however, that AIDS activism successfully countered AIDS conspiracy beliefs and contributed to safer sex practices.

Fidelis Mabika HoveThesis Title: HIV prevalence estimates and their use in regression models: cautionary evidence from Zimbabwe and studies of the relationship between armed conflict and HIV

Fidelis Hove holds a BCom in Economics and Finance, a BA(Hons) in Economics and an MCom in Economics from UCT. While at UCT, Fidelis has worked on research projects with the Southern Africa Labour Research Unit (SALDRU) and the Centre for Social Sciences Research (CSSR). He has also taught undergraduate courses in macroeconomics and microeconomics. Fidelis Hove’s PhD thesis examines the extent to which regression analysis of country-level HIV prevalence is compromised by the fact that the HIV data are estimates derived from epidemiological modeling which depend on the quantity and quality of the underlying data, themodelling architecture and the assumptions made during the modelling process. In the case of Zimbabwe, the HIV estimates are significantly influenced by assumptions about migration. The assumptions used by UNAIDS in its epidemiological modeling of Zimbabwe appear to underestimate the impact that out-migration had on the

progression of the epidemic. Another limitation of standard regression approaches to the socio-economic determinants of HIV is that they impose a linear model on HIV estimates which assumes that a change in a particular variable such as armed conflict will have an effect on HIV prevalence. However, the fact that HIV prevalence estimates have already been modeled as an epidemic (i.e. are not ‘hard’ data points) makes it difficult to pin point any particular change in HIV prevalence as a consequence of conflict. Dynamic panel regression models are more useful than others, but even so, such aggregate level analysis can be misleading. Particular attention must be paid to the country-level dynamics in the key countries (Angola, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Liberia, the DRC, Somalia and the Sudan).

Seedwell HoveThesis Title: Essays on monetary policy, institutions and terms of trade shocks in emerging market economies Seedwell Hove has a BSc(Hons) and an MSc in Economics from the University of Zimbabwe. He has been studying in the School of Economics at UCT since 2007 under the collaborative PhD programme in Economics. Seedwell Hove’s PhD thesis investigates the role of institutions for inflation targeting policy and the appropriate monetary policy responses to terms of trade shocks in emerging market economies. He finds that monetary, fiscal and financial institutional structures are important for the success of inflation targeting. Countries with more independent central banks, strong fiscal institutions and developed financial systems have higher chances of achieving their inflation targets than countries where these institutions are weak. Central banks should therefore continue to reform their institutional structures in order to achieve sustainable price stability. On the analysis of the appropriate monetary policy responses to terms of trade shocks, he finds that inflation targeting regime performs better than monetary targeting and exchange rate targeting regimes in reducing macroeconomic volatility in emerging market economies. However, inflation targeting regimes stabilise the economies at the expense of higher exchange rate volatility. In terms of

welfare, he finds that consumer price index based inflation targeting regime achieves higher welfare that non-traded inflation targeting and exchange rate targeting. This implies that emerging market economies that are prone to terms of trade shocks should adopt inflation targeting in order to achieve macroeconomic stability.

George MutasaThesis Title: Disability grant and labour supply in South Africa

George Mutasa obtained his BSc(Hons) and MSc in Economics from the University of Zimbabwe. After completing the coursework component of his PhD he worked as a researcher in UCT’s Development Policy Research Unit (DPRU) while writing his thesis. George Mutasa’s PhD thesis examines the labour supply effects of the disability grant on both the grant recipients and their families. Using a variety of econometric methods, he finds evidence of reductions in labour force participation among receiving members. His analysis of the grant effect on the families with a receiving member is motivated by the importance of the household as a source of income support for unemployed members through resource pooling. He finds evidence of reduced labour force participation among other members of grant receiving households. Interestingly, the effect is larger among cohabiting than married couples.

Tafara Finos NgwaruThesis title: Gender, poverty and intimate partner violence in southern Africa

Tafara Ngwaru was born in Zimbabwe. He completed his BBusSc, majoring in Economics, at UCT in 2007 and in 2009 graduated with an MBusSc in Economics, also from UCT. Tafara Ngwaru’s PhD thesis critiques the hypothesis that the disadvantages experienced by women in terms of income, political representation, etc render them more vulnerable to HIV infection. Using literature reviews and

quantitative research methods applied to Demographic and Household Survey data from Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe, he argues that this relationship varies from country to country and contests the proposition that either structural factors or individual factors mainly affect HIV. His thesis finds also that the effect of structural factors on individual level HIV risk varies by country. In countries with significant structural health problems (such as Lesotho), structural factors are the stronger predictor of individual HIV risk, while in those with less significant structural problems (such as Zimbabwe) behavioural variables are strong predictors of HIV. There is no evidence from this data that gender inequality is behind the high prevalence rates in southern Africa. Lastly, although men who perpetrate intimate partner violence (IPV) in the sample do not engage in any riskier behaviour than those that do not, women who experience IPV have higher HIV risk. He thus concludes that HIV risk varies from place to place and that any assumed unidirectional relationship between gender, inequality and abuse and HIV is probably unwarranted.

Lyn Michelle Reed Thesis title: The changing dynamics of the South African clothing value chain and therole for industrial policy: a case study of the China quotas

Lyn Reed has a BA from the University of the Witwatersrand and a BCom(Hons) in Economics from UCT. While working on her PhD in the School of Economics she has contributed to and helped to manage a number of research projects. Lyn Reed’s PhD thesis examines the effect of the China Import Restraint Agreement on the South African clothing industry. Using both qualitative and quantitative data, she finds no evidence that the imposition of quantitative limits on clothing imports from China reduced clothing imports overall, raised the competitiveness of local firms or staved employment loss in the sector. On the contrary, she finds that the China quotas fell short of their policy objectives to boost local output and employment. She also shows that they failed dismally to meet the competitivness and welfare agenda of sustainable industrial policy.

Her evaluation of the China quotas as an industrial policy is conducted in a broader analysis of globalisation and MFA quota liberalisation. The demand driven nature of the comtemporary clothing value chain has important implications for the domestically focused South African clothing industry. Retailers determine the possibilities for local firms to upgrade their production capabilities and to sustainably participate in the value chain. Local firms were uncompetitive on a global basis, weighed down by physical infrastructural and insitutional constraints such as skills shortages and high wages. The China quotas failed in principle because they worked against the fundamentals of global value chain dynamics.

Matthias Florian SchmidtThesis Title: Poverty reduction with high inequality and growth: evidence from post-independence Namibia

Matthias Schmidt holds a BSc in Economics and Politics from the University of Southampton and an MSc in Economics for Development from the University of Oxford, He has been studying at UCT, in the School of Economics, since 2009.Matthias Schmidt’s PhD thesis examines poverty reduction and inequality changes in Namibia following the country’s independence in 1990. The research is based on the only two available Namibian household expenditure surveys from 1993/94 and 2003/04. Following careful adjustments of the two datasets in order to ensure comparability, he finds that that consumption poverty decreased significantly over the ten year period under review. It is furthermore shown that growth favoured the poor over the period under review. Inequality, on the other hand, remained largely unchanged. This is contrary to previous findings. Matthias Schmidt examines two potential drivers of poverty reduction in more detail: firstly, changes in the returns to household assets, including human capital; and secondly, internal migration. The findings point towards the strong and growing link between educational attainment and welfare, while also highlighting the continuing importance of ethnicity as a predictor of welfare more than a decade after the end of apartheid policies. Finally,

he traces vast regional inequalities and evidence of interregional migration. While welfare differences between regions continue to be largely due to differences in household characteristics, there is strong evidence for convergence of returns to household assets between the leading and lagging regions in Namibia.

In Information Systems:Felix Olubisi BankoleThesis Title: The impacts of ICT infrastructure on national development: a multi-method investigation involving data mining and data envelopment analysis

Felix Bankole graduated with a BTech(Hons) degree in Computer Engineering from Ladoke Akintola University, Nigeria in 2004, and with an MCom specialising in Information Systems from UCT in 2009. He has made substantial contributions to research output at UCT, and was recognised for this through the award of the UCT Research Associateship in 2010. Felix Bankole’s PhD thesis explores the impacts of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure on human development and trade. The contributions are three-fold. Firstly, Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) modeling is applied to archival data of 51 countries to expose the complex and conditional impacts of ICT investments on human development. Secondly, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is applied to archival data on African countries to reveal that the average relative efficiency of telecommunications infrastructure utilization in African countries varies across both economic and geographic groupings. Thirdly, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) and MARS show that telecommunications infrastructure investment is key to facilitating intra-Africa trade. The conditions for successful translation of telecommunications infrastructure to produce efficiency in intra-

African trade flows require an appropriate level of institutional quality.

*Brian Alphonso DelcarmeThesis Title: The development and institutionalisation of an integrated health care waste information system

Brian Delcarme has a National Diploma and National Higher Diploma in Public Health from Peninsula Technikon, a BAdmin from the University of the Western Cape, a Master’s in International and Intercultural Management from the International School of Training in Vermont USA and a Master of Environmental Management from Griffith University in Australia. Brian Delcarme’s PhD thesis examines how an integrated health care waste information system (IHCWIS) develops and becomes institutionalised among health care waste generators. The aim of the research was to gather empirical data to understand how the development and institutionalisation of an IHCWIS contributes to effective health care waste management (HCWM). A qualitative descriptive case study research design was used to collect empirical data. The data were analysed (using qualitative content analysis) at three levels namely: sociology of translation, interpretation of the case and the application of an IHCWIS. The analysis reveals that successful translation through all moments, as defined in actor network theory (ANT), led to the establishment of a stable network of interested actors aligned around the use of an IHCWIS. Factors emerging as important to complementing the sociology of translation and facilitating institutionalisation were effective user participation, dedicated information officers, informatics competence and systems integration. Systems performance and a decision making approach ensured that an IHCWIS could now be used to make decisions to address the problems associated with poor HCWM.

Elizabeth Catharina Scott Thesis Title: Towards coherent practice in capstone courses for IS majors

Elizabeth Scott has BSc and MSc (cum laude) degrees from the University of Stellenbosch, and an honours degree from UNISA. Her PhD thesis emerged as a result of her teaching experiences in the Department of Information Systems at UCT, where she has been a member of the academic staff since 2000. The purpose of Elizabeth Scott’s PhD thesis was to develop and refine a theory that reflects the pedagogy of how to implement a capstone programme capable of empowering Information Systems (IS) majors to sustain competence across dynamic and evolving IS roles. The IS capstone course at UCT was initiated in 2001 and its subsequent evolution led to the development of a conceptual framework for a coherent practice. During 2010 and 2011 Elizabeth Scott extended this conceptual framework by developing, refining and evaluating a design science theory through a series of themed action experiments each consisting of several interventions. The end result is a synthesis of theory and practice for preparing thoughtful practitioners. The theory includes prescriptive statements of actions leading to specific outcomes, integrated with empirical evidence of how a reflective practice nurtures deep involvement of students in their learning experience. It can similarly be used to extend the capabilities of students in other exit level courses.

Titus Mathias TossyThesis Title: Cultivating recognition: a classic grounded theory of e-learningproviders working in East Africa

Titus Tossy has a BSc (Computer Science) from the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, and an MBA (Information Technology) with distinction from Coventry University. He has been studying at UCT, in the Department of Information Systems and the Centre for IT and National Development in Africa, since 2009. Titus Tossy’s PhD thesis investigates the main concern of e-learning providers working in East Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The Classic Grounded Theory research methodology is used to investigate the phenomenon. In the course of repeated encounters with e-learning providers, the concept of “Cultivating Recognition” emerged as the main concern. The e-learning providers are shown to be striving continually to resolve the issue of how to cultivate recognition from those who sponsor and monitor the projects with which they are tasked. The research discovers that two key sub-core variables enabled the “Cultivation of Recognition”: “Legitimising” and “Credentialising”. The process of “Legitimising” involves convincing the e-learning stakeholders that the e-learning programs and projects will be delivered in a timely, valid and sustainable manner. “Credentialising” aims to enhance the stakeholders’ belief in the e-learning provider’s competence prior to the start of the e-learning project.

Hans Peter Bruno WeimannThesis Title: An organizational framework for the use of web-based tools in“virtual” project teams

Peter Weimann holds a Diplom Informatiker (with thesis) from the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany. He has been studying at UCT in the Department of Information Systems since 2009, having previously worked in the department as an Associate Professor before taking up a position in Germany. Peter Weimann’s PhD thesis investigates how virtual project teams select and use internet/web-based tools to improve the team’s performance and the satisfaction of its members. Through observation, questioning, and interviewing of 28 project teams with 167 team members in Germany and South Africa, a theoretical framework was developed. The grounded theory methodology was used to develop the theory. The results contribute to practice by providing a number of guidelines for management of virtual teams. Differing performances of teams can in many cases be attributed to such conditions as: limited internet availability and bandwidth; lack of training for certain tools; the wrong selection and use of tools that are either not integrated/do not support adequate sharing among team members/do not help to manage the tasks and promote transparency about progress made. The theory also emphasises that besides the project and team context the personal preferences and distance from work of each member are important when selecting and using web-based tools in a distributed work setting.

In Management Studies:Mpho Mmannana PhekoThesis title: Predictors of Sensitivity Toward Being the Target of Upward Comparison (STTUC): a study of female employees in Botswana

Mpho Pheko has an MA in Industrial-Organisational (IO) Psychology from Alliant International University, and a BSc in Psychology from Barry University in Miami, USA. She teaches IO Psychology courses at the University of Botswana. Mpho Pheko’s PhD Thesis examines Sensitivity Toward Being the Target of Upward Comparison (STTUC), a contemporary construct that is touted as another possible reason why woman fail to progress in their careers and to go up the corporate ladder. However, limited empirical evidence of the notions associated with this construct exists. She investigates differences and several antecedents of STTUC. The sample (n=464) consists of black employees from a variety of organisations in Botswana, utilising a quantitative survey. T-tests, multiple regression and structural equations modelling show support for gender differences in STTUC, as well as relationships between family-work variables, some personality variables and STTUC. Unexpectedly, no evidence for the proposed relationships between cultural variables and STTUC is found. The results suggest that both organisational level changes and person centred interventions, like counselling, coaching, and mentoring for women prone to experiencing STTUC need to be considered. Policy makers further need to take STTUC into consideration when designing programmes that foster inclusion, development, retention, and advancement of women into decision-making positions.
