Abstract
The paper develops a modelling approach to estimate the impact of malaria disease and its prevention on the overall economy, with Ghana as a case study. Our dataset includes 45 households, which are disaggregated by five income level quintiles, and nine geographic regions that have different Malaria prevalence. The dynamic, multi-sector multi-agent general equilibrium model is integrated with a health model, linking the labour resource with ill-health. The health model includes two components: (1) population projection for the size of the labour force, using the cohort-component method that accounts for changes in fertility, migration, and mortality; (2) a labour effectiveness component that takes into account the impact of malaria on the worker’s productivity for various malaria-specific health statuses. The model estimates the marginal benefits for various preventive scenarios to a baseline, at individual and regional levels. This approach could be similarly used for other diseases, e.g., TB and HIV/AIDS.

Mario Vargas Llosa is one of the world's greatest contemporary novelists, a playwright of distinction and a leading public intellectual. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2010.
He will be discussing his latest novel, The Dream of the Celt (Faber, June 2012), which deals with key moments in the life of the Anglo-Irish diplomat turned Irish nationalist, Roger Casement - his denunciation of human rights abuses in the Congo and in the Peruvian Amazon, participation in the Easter Rising and his arrest, prosecution, and conviction for treason by the British in 1916. Vargas Llosa will also consider his work in a broader context by exploring issues raised in The Cambridge Companion to Mario Vargas Llosa, edited by Efraín Kristal and John King. The event will be chaired by John King and followed by a book signing.
A one-day workshop organised by IAS Early Career Fellows Joe Jackson and April Gallwey, to discuss interdisciplinary links between History and Literary Studies.
