this research uses econometrics techniques to study significant correlation between poverty and globalization of economy and investigate mechanisms influence of globalization on poverty in the economy during the period 1984-2004. in this context, the estimated three models discussed. in the form of a model for a significant correlation between poverty and globalization of the economy - causal r...

The explicit aim of these programs is to take people out of poverty, or at least to reduce poverty intensity. If the benefit is high enough to reach the poverty threshold, there are no time limits and the take-up rate is 100%, then poverty is automatically defeated (but this would be much too expensive). Otherwise, when benefits are low and support is not always granted until the end of the pov...

Using data from the German SOEP, this paper analyses whether there have been (a) any significant changes in poverty rates and poverty intensities before and after the Hartz IV reforms and (b) whether there have been observable changes in the effect of employment in reducing the threat or intensity of poverty. Using multivariate analyses we can find no evidence of increases in poverty rates comp...

In the literature of poverty, it is well known that every poverty index should be sensitive to the incidence of poverty, the intensity of poverty and to the inequality among the poo individuals. However, the inequality among the poor could be measured analyzing either the income of the poor distribution, or the gap of the poor distribution. Depending on the side we focus on, contradictory resul...

We consider the link between poverty and subjective well-being and focus in particular on potential adaptation to poverty. We use panel data on almost 54,000 individuals living in Germany from 1985 to 2012 to show, first, that life satisfaction falls with both the incidence and intensity of contemporaneous poverty. We then reveal that there is little evidence of adaptation within a poverty spel...

This paper applies the decomposition of the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty index to the measurement of the individual vulnerability to poverty. I highlight that poverty risk can be expressed as a function of expected incidence, expected intensity and expected downward variability. An empirical illustration is provided using the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and the Survey on Household I...

In this paper we introduce a new family of poverty measures for comparing and ordering social situations. The aggregation scheme of these poverty measures is based on the oneparameter family of exponential means. The poverty measures introduced satisfy interesting properties and the dual decomposition of the underlying exponential means induces a natural decomposition of the proposed poverty in...

most of the population of nigeria is rural and agriculture is the mainstay of the impoverished people’s livelihood. this paper estimated the determinants of rural poverty in nigeria using the tobit regression model. through the multistage sampling technique, primary data were obtained from 150 rural farming households using a questionnaire. the result of tobit regression analysis shows that inc...
