GLOBAL POVERTY REDUCTION AND PARETO-IMPROVING REDISTRIBUTION

Global Poverty Reduction and Pareto-Improving Redistribution

Can a transfer of wealth from the US to developing countries be Pareto improving? We analyze this question in an open-economy innovation-driven growth model, in which the highincome (low-income) country produces innovative (homogenous) goods. We find that wealth redistribution to the low-income country simultaneously reduces global inequality and stimulates innovation through an increase in lab...

Resource Rents, Redistribution, and Halving Global Poverty: The Resource Dividend

This paper considers the proposal that each country distribute its resource rents directly to citizens as a universal and unconditional cash transfer, or Resource Dividend, and estimates its potential impact on global poverty. Using a global dataset on resource rents and the distribution of income, I find that if every developing country implemented the policy then the number of people living b...

Global Poverty and Moral Responsibility

Global poverty is one of the most important challenges encountering human beings. Thousands of people die every day and 18 million people die every year as a result of poverty and its problems. The main question in this regard is whether the rich have a moral responsibility for poverty or not. Taking advantage of descriptive-analytical methods, this article examines the views of Peter Singer, J...

DGA and Pareto Elitism : Improving Pareto

Previous works have shown the eeciency of a new approach for the Genetic Algorithms, the Dual Genetic Algorithms, in the multiobjective optimization context. Dual Genetic Algorithms make use of a meta level to enhance the expressiveness of schemata, entities implicitly handle by Genetic Algorithms. In this paper, we show that this approach, coupled with a new method, Pareto Elitism, leads to ve...
