  • Abstract: Using a general dynamic equilibrium model, this article simulates the impact of Senegal’s artificial insemination program on economic growth and household wellbeing. The results attest to a rise in the supply of cows, meat, processed milk, and leather. The price effects seem to override the revenue effects. Indeed, the households benefitting from this program are those in silvopastoral and urban zones, and in the groundnut-growing belt.
