Modelling Household Income Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is about income and poverty dynamics and their socioeconomic correlates. The first half of the paper aims to establish some of the salient facts for Britain, applying the pioneering methods of Bane and Ellwood (1986). Important for poverty dynamics are changes in labour earnings from persons other than the household head, changes in non-labour income (including benefits), and changes in household composition, in addition to changes in the heads’ labour earnings. The second half of the paper is a review and critique of the multivariate modelling frameworks which might be used to explain and forecast these salient facts for Britain or elsewhere.

متن کاملModelling Vulnerability in the UK
In this paper we examine the concept of "vulnerability" (Townsend 1994) within the context of income mobility of the poor. We test for the dynamics of vulnerable households in the UK using Waves 1 12 of the British Household Panel Survey and find that, of three different types of risks that we test for, household-specific shocks and economy-wide aggregate shocks have the greatest impact on cons...
متن کاملTitle: Modelling income and house price processes for the UK
In order to examine dynamic choices under uncertainty, some modelling of individual expectations regarding future variables is necessary. In the context of household mortgage borrowing and saving decisions, particular interest lies in processes for forecasting household income and house prices. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey, the System GMM estimator proposed by Arellano and...
متن کاملShort-Lived Shocks with Long-Lived Impacts? Household Income Dynamics in a Transition Economy
It is possible in theory that the persistent poverty that has emerged in many transition economies is due to underlying nonconvexities in the dynamics of household incomes, such that a vulnerable household will never recover from a sufficiently large but short-lived shock to its income. To test the theory we estimate a dynamic panel data model of household incomes with nonlinear dynamics and en...
