Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.

Mobile Money Taxes: Knowledge, Perceptions and Politics. The Case of Ghana Institute of Development Studies, United Kingdom Governments in lower-income countries face mounting fiscal pressure amid rising debt, declining aid, and intensifying public contestation. New taxes are often unavoidable but politically risky in these times of fiscal crisis with mobile money taxes have proven especially contentious across Africa. This study centres citizen knowledge in understanding perceptions and grievances s of Ghana’s electronic transfer levy (e-levy), introduced in 2022 during a debt crisis and later repealed. Drawing on a nationally representative survey of 1,500 households and focus group discussions, we investigate what citizens know about the tax, how knowledge shapes support or opposition, and whether it moderates partisan effects. We find that while awareness of the e-levy was widespread, detailed knowledge of its design was limited. Greater knowledge modestly increased support, but political affiliation remained a strong predictor of attitudes.
