Between late 2010 and early 2013, Australia’s net income deficit narrowed to its lowest point since the early 1990s. this article examines the reasons for this narrowing and finds that it was mainly due to declines in the average yields paid by Australian entities on their foreign debt and equity liabilities. the lower average yield paid on foreign debt liabilities reflects a combination of dec...

African American children are more likely to be poor and live in households that are ‘‘asset poor,’’ with no or very little net worth. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and its Child Development Supplement, this article explores whether living in a household with net worth above the sample median seems to promote educational success and the development of human capital over time, irrespe...

The Effect of Migration on Income Growth and Convergence: Meta-Analytic Evidence We compare a set of econometric studies that measure the effect of net internal migration in neoclassical models of long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence is about 2.7%. An increase in the net migration rate of a region by one perc...

An assessment is made of the distributive effects of state subsidies to undergraduate education in public universities and community colleges in Illinois during 1989. The main finding is that the existing system of public subsidy to undergraduate education favors lower-income and middle-income groups. Public subsidies lead to redistribution of income from higher-income to lower-income and middl...

In this study I discuss the pros and cons of using net income vs. gross income in gross income-shares states. It is argued that the “standardized net” approach is the best approach in determining child support awards based on the combined principles of equity and accuracy. However most states use gross income approaches for the sake of simplicity. Such gross income approaches can generate biase...

In Germany, inequality of net equivalized income increased noticeably in the first half of the new millennium. We aim to identify the main drivers of this rise in income inequality since the early 1990s. We provide a broad overview of the circumstances under which inequality evolved, i.e. which changes in the German economy are most likely to provide an explanation for changes in income concent...
