Past estimates of poverty in Bangladesh based on the food energy intake method found decreasing poverty over time and similar poverty in urban and rural areas. Using the cost of basic needs method, we find increasing poverty for 1984–92 and higher poverty in rural than urban areas. Examples of lack of consistency in past estimates are highlighted. A method is introduced to assess the gap narrowing and re‐ranking impacts on poverty measures of changes in poverty lines. The article also estimates the marginal impact of household characteristics such as household size, education, occupation and land ownership on the probability of being poor. 相似文献

ABSTRACTFemale genital cutting (FGC) is a major issue at the interplay of faith and health in development. The practice is in part faith-inspired, and has clear negative health impacts. The prevalence of FGC remains especially high in Egypt. This article reflects on some of the factors that lead to the perpetuation of the practice by analysing data from the 2014 Survey of Young People in Egypt. The focus is on whether religiosity, acceptance of traditional gender roles and discrimination, attitudes towards women’s autonomy, and age at marriage affect attitudes towards FGC, controlling for other factors. The results suggest that all these factors do indeed play a role. 相似文献

Lack of action on cross-border environmental problems in developing countries is often ascribed to gaps in local capacity
and resources, failure of regional cooperation and lack of financial support from rich countries. Using the case of the Southeast
Asian Haze pollution from forest and peat fires in Indonesia, we explore the challenges posed by environmental problems whose
causes are closely linked to local development and livelihood strategies, and whose impacts are local, regional (haze) as
well as global (carbon emissions). We assess whether there are real opportunities to implement effectively the recent Association
of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution. To address the deep determinants behind haze
pollution, we propose signatories to the Agreement refocus their efforts to controlling peat fires rather than to strive for
a zero-burning regime. We also recommend a new approach to financing sustainable development based on rules and incentives,
with a regional pool of funds, contributed by rich countries through the Global Environment Facility and countries in Southeast
Asia.

Risk-adjusted poverty in Argentina: measurement and determinants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper presents a methodology for adjusting measures of income and poverty for the risk faced by a household. The approach draws on the standard economic concept of risk aversion, and it is based on the intuition that households will prefer a steady stream of income to a variable one with the same mean. Relying on a Constant Relative Risk Aversion utility function, we use panel data for Argentina to compute risk-adjusted income and poverty measures. At the aggregate level, we find that taking risk into account substantially increases the poverty headcount. Moreover, a regression analysis suggests that many household characteristics are correlated not only with the average income of the household over time, but also with its variability. 相似文献

This paper explains the variation in technical efficiency across firms due to transitional reforms. A translog stochastic
frontier production method incorporating regional heterogeneity and technical change is applied to a panel data set of coal
enterprises in China between 2000 and 2005. The results provide evidence that the privatisation, consolidation, decentralisation
and participation of the unemployment insurance system have contributed to improving technical efficiency. The study also
shows that neither favourable geological conditions nor an advanced regional economic development level can explain differences
in technical efficiency. 相似文献
