  1. Islamic Republic of Mauritania: Poverty Reduction and Growth Strategy By International Monetary Fund
  2. Acting for Good, Being Good or Feeling Good? Exploring Factors Influencing Individual Investors’ Willingness to Invest in Green Funds By Fabrice Hervé; Sylvain Marsat
  1. By: International Monetary Fund
    Abstract: Since 2016, public development action in Mauritania by 2030 has been framed by the Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Shared Prosperity (SCAPP). This reference framework for strategic planning for the country's economic, social and environmental development also incorporates the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs). In addition, the SCAPP has been the subject of a framework law that makes it possible to establish it as a reference framework for development interventions carried out by the Government with the support of its technical and financial partners (TFPs).

    Abstract: This paper empirically investigates the determinants of willingness to do good of green investment within a real-world context. Using data from a questionnaire administered between December 2021 and January 2022 to French individual investors, we find that "being good" (altruism) and "acting for good" (perceived impact) exert a substantial influence on both the decision-making process and the amount invested in green funds, while positive emotions (warm glow) are not significantly linked. This research highlights the core importance of altruism in green investment decision.
