How Poor is Poor? A novel look at multidimensional poverty in the UK
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 149 - Trang 833-859 - 2020
The integrated nature of well-being produces difficulty in evaluating poverty levels and one issue is the neglected of human life aspects, multiple feedback loops, and an over-emphasis on income. In the light of current structural changes a multidimensional poverty measure (MPI), which includes some of those missing dimensions, closely related to the well-being of individuals, is constructed in th......
The Interaction of Values and Validity Assessment: Does a Test's Level of Validity Depend on a Researcher's Values?
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 45 - Trang 45-54 - 1998
This paper presents a somewhat different framework for considering the validity problem than that proposed by Messick (1989). Validity evaluation is considered as a problem of comparing continua in a multidimensional space corresponding to constructs, tests, and applications. This framework is used to consider the position taken by Markus (1998) and to argue that a test's validity is independent o......
Does It Matter How You Retire? Old-Age Retirement Routes and Subjective Economic Well-Being
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 142 - Trang 733-751 - 2018
This study explores the association between retirement on an old-age pension and subjective economic well-being. The study starts by analyzing this association in general, and proceeds by distinguishing different retirement routes, measured with a preceding activity status. People with different labour market statuses generally enjoy different levels of income, and a transition to retirement migh......
Panel Conditioning and Subjective Well-being
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 117 - Trang 235-255 - 2013
The importance of panel, or longitudinal, survey data for analyzing subjective wellbeing, and especially its dynamics, is increasingly recognized. Analyses of such data, however, have to deal with two potential problems: (1) non-random attrition; and (2) panel conditioning. The former is a much researched topic. In contrast, panel conditioning has received much less attention from the research com......
Measuring Unidimensional Inequality: Practical Framework for the Choice of an Appropriate Measure
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 149 - Trang 541-570 - 2020
Inequality and its analysis have received increasing attention in the literature over the last decades, which has led to the development of a large number of inequality measurement methodologies. In the analysis of inequality, results rely heavily on the choice of a measurement methodology and, very often, different methodologies do not lead to the same rankings. Therefore, in the assessment of in......
The Economic Crisis and its Effects on the Quality of Life in the European Union
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 120 - Trang 323-343 - 2014
The economic crisis to hit a number of countries, particularly European Union countries, since late 2007 has triggered many unpleasant effects that are still being felt today. Faced with such a situation, the question arises as to whether the negative economic consequences of the crisis have impacted the quality of life in said countries and to what extent. A further point of interest is to ascert......
Measuring natural resource scarcity
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 517-530 - 1989
One fundamental index of world social welfare is the availability of natural resources relative to population. In recent years, social, policy, and even physical scientists have been unable to reach consensus on whether natural resources are becoming increasingly scarce. The prevailing pessimistic view of the 1970s has been strongly challenged in the 1980s by resource-population optimists such as ......
Education as a Positional Good? Evidence from the German Socio-Economic Panel
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 155 - Trang 745-767 - 2021
People care about their relative standing in society and therefore compare themselves to relevant others. Empirical findings suggest that there are concerns for relative standing for different goods and life domains such as income, cars, attractiveness, and supervisor’s praise. Even education has been mentioned as having a (partially) positional character. However, there has been only small consid......
Fertility and Financial Development in South Asia
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 133 - Trang 645-668 - 2016
The paper empirically examines old-age security hypothesis to explain fertility rates in South Asia. Panel data is used for the period 1972–2013 for seven South Asian countries which include Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The estimated results reveal that in South Asia fertility rate decreases with the increase in financial development. Thus, the findings suppo......
Modeling Causality Between Financial Deepening and Poverty Reduction in Egypt
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 126 - Trang 955-969 - 2015
This study deals with the linkages between financial development and poverty reduction in Egypt using data for the period of 1975Q1–2011Q4. The stationarity properties of the variables are tested by applying Zivot–Andrews structural break unit root test. The structural break autoregressive distributed lag-bounds testing approach to cointegration is used to examine long run relationship between the......
