本研究评估了马里和尼日尔财政政策的再分配效应。财政政策导致马里（增加2.4个百分点）和尼日尔（增加2.5个百分点）的贫困增加。这主要是两个因素造成的：间接税（增值税和进口税）和直接财政转移。尽管马里和尼日尔最富有的人支付了大部分间接税，但最贫穷的人也支付了不可忽略的数额（对收入最低的10%的人分别超过8%和10%）。尽管现有的直接财政转移具有减少贫困的效果，但它们规模太小（马里）或目标不明确（尼日尔）。
This study assesses the redistributive effects of fiscal policy in Mali and Niger. Fiscal policy is poverty increasing in Mali (by 2.4 percentage points) and Niger (2.5 percentage points). This is a result of primarily two factors: indirect taxes (value-added taxes and import duties) and direct fiscal transfers. Although the richest people in Mali and Niger pay the majority of indirect taxes, the poorest people pay a nonnegligible amount (more than 8 and 10 percent for the bottom three deciles, respectively). Although existing direct fiscal transfers have poverty-reducing effects, they are too small (Mali) or not well targeted (Niger).
