  • Item Context Effects Are Relevant for Monitoring Evaluative Well-being

    Open Access•Arthur A Stone, Marta Walentynowicz et al.•ARTICLE•CAM•2022•References: 25

    To ensure the accuracy of self-reported data, it is important to reduce potential sources of bias such as the unwanted influence of prior questions on subsequent questions, the so-called item context effect. This article attempts to replicate the finding that evaluative subjective well-being was affected by a preceding item, a question about the political atmosphere in the country; it also examines manipulations that could mitigate the impact of …

  • Life expectancy in adulthood is falling for those without a BA degree, but as educational gaps have widened, racial gaps have narrowed

    Open Access•Anne Case, Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•Proceedings of the National…•2021

    Significance Without a 4-y college diploma, it is increasingly difficult to build a meaningful and successful life in the United States. We explore what the BA divide has done to longevity, focusing on a measure of expected years lived between ages 25 and 75. In the richest large country in the world, with frontier medical technology, expected years lived between 25 and 75 declined for most of a decade for men and women without a 4-y degree, even…

  • The Analysis of Household Surveys (Reissue Edition with a New Preface)

    Angus Deaton, World Bank Group•BOOK•The analysis of household surveys•2019

    Two decades after its original publication, The Analysis of Household Surveys is reissued with a new preface by its author, Sir Angus Deaton, recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. This classic work remains relevant to anyone with a serious interest in using household survey data to shed light on policy issues. This book reviews the analysis of household survey data, including the construction of household surveys, the econometri…

  • Understanding and misunderstanding randomized controlled trials

    Open Access•Angus Deaton, Nancy Cartwright•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2018•Cited by: 246•References: 88

    Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) are increasingly popular in the social sciences, not only in medicine. We argue that the lay public, and sometimes researchers, put too much trust in RCTs over other methods of investigation. Contrary to frequent claims in the applied literature, randomization does not equalize everything other than the treatment in the treatment and control groups, it does not automatically deliver a precise estimate of the av…

  • Reflections on Randomized Control Trials

    Open Access•Angus Deaton, Nancy Cartwright•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2018•Cited by: 12•References: 8

    In this paper, we describe our assessment of whether Youth Villages' Intercept program had a demonstrable impact on the likelihood a young person will be placed in out-of-home care given the young person was at risk of placement by virtue of having been the subject of an investigation for maltreatment. Intercept is an integrated approach to intensive in-home parenting skill development that offers a variety of evidence-based and best practices to…

    from one birth cohort to the next, in the labor market, in marriage and child outcomes, and in health, is triggered by progressively worsening labor market opportunities at the time of entry for whites with low levels of education. This account, which fits much of the data, has the profoundly negative implication that policies, even ones that successfully improve earnings and jobs, or redistribute income, will take many years to reverse the morta…

  • Creative Destruction and Subjective Well-Being

    Philippe Aghion, Ufuk Akcigit et al.•ARTICLE•American Economic Review•2016

    In this paper we analyze the relationship between turnover-driven growth and subjective well-being. Our model of innovation-led growth and unemployment predicts that: (i) the effect of creative destruction on expected individual welfare should be unambiguously positive if we control for unemployment, less so if we do not; (ii) job creation has a positive and job destruction has a negative impact on well-being; (iii) job destruction has a less neg…

  • Subjective wellbeing, health, and ageing

    Open Access•Andrew Steptoe, Angus Deaton et al.•ARTICLE•The Lancet•2015

  • Rising morbidity and mortality in midlife among white non-Hispanic Americans in the 21st century

    Open Access•Anne Case, Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•Proceedings of the National…•2015

    Significance Midlife increases in suicides and drug poisonings have been previously noted. However, that these upward trends were persistent and large enough to drive up all-cause midlife mortality has, to our knowledge, been overlooked. If the white mortality rate for ages 45−54 had held at their 1998 value, 96,000 deaths would have been avoided from 1999–2013, 7,000 in 2013 alone. If it had continued to decline at its previous (1979‒1998) rate,…

  • The Great Escape

    Open Access•Angus Deaton•BOOK•Great Escape•2013

  • Two Happiness Puzzles

    Angus Deaton, Arthur A Stone•ARTICLE•American Economic Review•2013

    We consider two happiness puzzles. First, many studies show that only relative income matters for well-being. Yet the Gallup data for the United States and from the rest of the world show no such result, at least for life evaluation. There may be relative income effects in hedonic well-being though other interpretations are available. Second, more religious people typically report higher experiential well-being but more religious places have wors…

  • The Great Escape

    Angus Deaton•BOOK•Great Escape•2013

    A Nobel Prize–winning economist tells the remarkable story of how the world has grown healthier, wealthier, but also more unequal over the past two and half centuries The world is a better place than it used to be. People are healthier, wealthier, and live longer. Yet the escapes from destitution by so many has left gaping inequalities between people and nations. In The Great Escape , Nobel Prize–winning economist Angus Deaton—one of the foremost…

  • The financial crisis and the well-being of Americans

    Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•Oxford Economic Papers•2012

    The Great Recession was associated with large changes in income, wealth, and unemployment, changes that affected many lives. Since January 2008, the Gallup Organization has been collecting daily data on 1,000 Americans each day, with a range of self-reported well-being (SWB) questions. I use these data to examine how the recession affected the emotional and evaluative lives of the population, as well as of subgroups within it. In the fall of 2008…

  • Purchasing Power Parity Exchange Rates for the Global Poor

    Angus Deaton, Olivier Dupriez•BOOK•2011

    The first of the Millennium Development Goals targets global poverty. The numbers that support this goal are estimated by the World Bank, and come from a worldwide count of people who live below a common international poverty line. This line, loosely referred to as the dollar-a-day line, is calculated as an average over the world's poorest countries of their national poverty lines expressed in international dollars. The counts of those living bel…

  • A snapshot of the age distribution of psychological well-being in the United States

    Open Access•Arthur A Stone, J E Schwartz et al.•ARTICLE•Proceedings of the National…•2010

    Psychological well-being (WB) includes a person's overall appraisal of his or her life (Global WB) and affective state (Hedonic WB), and it is considered a key aspect of the health of individuals and groups. Several cross-sectional studies have documented a relation between Global WB and age. Little is known, however, about the age distribution of Hedonic WB. It may yield a different view of aging because it is less influenced by the cognitive re…

  • Instruments, Randomization, and Learning about Development

    Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•Journal of Economic Literature•2010

    There is currently much debate about the effectiveness of foreign aid and about what kind of projects can engender economic development. There is skepticism about the ability of econometric analysis to resolve these issues or of development agencies to learn from their own experience. In response, there is increasing use in development economics of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to accumulate credible knowledge of what works, without overrel…

  • High income improves evaluation of life but not emotional well-being

    Open Access•Daniel Kahneman, Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•Proceedings of the National…•2010

    Recent research has begun to distinguish two aspects of subjective well-being. Emotional well-being refers to the emotional quality of an individual's everyday experience—the frequency and intensity of experiences of joy, stress, sadness, anger, and affection that make one's life pleasant or unpleasant. Life evaluation refers to the thoughts that people have about their life when they think about it. We raise the question of whether money buys ha…

  • Price Indexes, Inequality, and the Measurement of World Poverty

    Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•American Economic Review•2010

    I discuss the measurement of world poverty and inequality, with particular attention to the role of purchasing power parity (PPP) price indexes from the International Comparison Project. Global inequality increased with the latest revision of the ICP, and this reduced the global poverty line relative to the US dollar. The recent large increase of nearly half a billion poor people came from an inappropriate updating of the global poverty line, not…

    Open Access•Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•The Journal of Economic…•2010•Cited by: 3•References: 20

    In this paper, I advocate the investigation, testing, and modification of mechanisms as a progressive empirical research strategy for the field of economic development (and other areas of applied economics). I discuss three lines of work that have elucidated mechanisms that are relevant for development: 1) connections between saving and growth; 2) the determinants of commodity prices, which are a key source of income for many developing countries…

  • Adult Height and Childhood Disease

    Open Access•Carlos Bozzoli, Carlos Bozzoli Carlos Bozzoli et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•2009

    Taller populations are typically richer populations, and taller individuals live longer and earn more. In consequence, adult height has recently become a focus in understanding the relationship between health and wealth. We investigate the childhood determinants of population adult height, focusing on the respective roles of income and of disease. Across a range of European countries and the United States, we find a strong inverse relationship be…

  • Using Census and Survey Data to Estimate Poverty and Inequality for Small Areas

    Alessandro Tarozzi, Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•The Review of Economics and…•2009

    Recent years have seen widespread use of small-area maps based on census data enriched by relationships estimated from household surveys that predict variables, such as income, not covered by the census. The purpose is to obtain putatively precise estimates of poverty and inequality for small areas for which no or few observations are available in the survey. We argue that to usefully match survey and census data in this way requires a degree of …

    Open Access•Donald Cutler, David Cutler et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Economic…•2006•Cited by: 138•References: 31

    The pleasures of life are worth nothing if one is not alive to experience them. Through the twentieth century in the United States and other high-income countries, growth in real incomes was accompanied by a historically unprecedented decline in mortality rates that caused life expectancy at birth to grow by nearly 30 years. In the years just after World War II, life expectancy gaps between countries were falling across the world. Poor countries …

    During 2006, the Gallup Organization conducted a World Poll that used an identical questionnaire for national samples of adults from 132 countries. I analyze the data on life satisfaction and on health satisfaction and look at their relationships with national income, age, and life-expectancy. The analysis confirms a number of earlier findings and also yields some new and different results. Average life satisfaction is strongly related to per cap…

  • Large Cash Transfers to the Elderly in South Africa

    We examine the social pension in South Africa, where large cash sums-about twice the median per capita income of African households-are paid to people qualified by age but irrespective of previous contributions. We present the history of the scheme and use a 1993 nationally representative survey to investigate the redistributive consequences of the transfers, documenting who receive the pensions, their levels of living, and those of their familie…

  • The Demand for Food and Calories

    Shankar Subramanian, Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•Journal of Political Economy•1996•Cited by: 88•References: 2

    The authors investigate nutrition and expenditure in rural Maharashtra in India. They estimate that the elasticity of calorie consumption with respect to total expenditure is 0.3-0.5, a range that is in accord with conventional wisdom. The elasticity declines only slowly with levels of living and is far from the value of zero suggested by a recent revisionist literature. In these Indian data, the calories necessary for a day's activity cost less …

  • Economies of Scale, Household Size, and the Demand for Food

    Angus Deaton, Christina Paxson•ARTICLE•Journal of Political Economy•1998•Cited by: 77•References: 1

    Household scale economics are plausibly attributed to shared household public goods that make larger households better off at the same level of per capita resources. larger households should therefore have higher per capita consumption of private goods, such as food, provided that they do not substitute too much toward the effectively cheaper public goods. The evidence shows exactly the opposite. Data from rich and poor countries indicate that, a…

    The theoretical basis for measuring child costs is discussed, and detailed consideration is given to two straightforward procedures for calculation, Engel's food share method and Rothbarth's adult good method. Each of these methods embodies different definitions of child costs so that the same empirical evidence can generate quite different estimates depending on the method used. It is shown that true costs are generally overstated by Engel's met…

  • Intertemporal Choice and Inequality

    Angus Deaton, Christina Paxson•ARTICLE•Journal of Political Economy•1994•Cited by: 57•References: 4

    The permanent income hypothesis implies that, for any cohort of people, inequality in consumption and income should grow with age, a prediction that is here confirmed using data from eleven years of household survey data from the United States, twenty-two years from Great Britain, and fourteen years from Taiwan. In the permanent income hypothesis, the increase in inequality reflects the cumulative effect of luck on consumption. Other models of in…

  • Commodity Prices and Growth in Africa

    Open Access•Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•The Journal of Economic…•1999•Cited by: 24•References: 12

    African states that came to independence by the late 1960s made a rapid transition to authoritarian rule during a period of reasonably robust growth. Growth then faltered badly from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s as these regimes coped with external shocks and varying degrees of fiscal crisis. Leading critics embed Africa's slow growth in failures of governance associated with "weak" authoritarian rule. These provide important insights into polic…

    By buying cheap and selling dear, risk-neutral commodity speculators can smooth commodity prices and induce serial dependence in price even when none would exist under a simple process of supply and demand. Commodity prices are variable and strongly positively correlated from one year to the next. The variability is often explained by supply factors and the autocorrelation by the activities of speculators. The authors show that this explanation i…

    A concept of demographic separability is proposed that formalizes t he notion that there are groups of goods (adult goods) that have little or no relationship to specific classes of household demographics (the numbers or ages of children). That there exist adult goods demographically separable from children is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for the validity of Erwin Rothbarth's method for measuring child costs. The authors propose two…

    A concept of demographic separability is proposed that formalizes t he notion that there are groups of goods (adult goods) that have little or no relationship to specific classes of household demographics (the numbers or ages of children). That there exist adult goods demographically separable from children is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for the validity of Erwin Rothbarth's method for measuring child costs. The authors propose two…

  • Rice Prices and Income Distribution in Thailand

    Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•The Economic Journal•1989•Cited by: 44

    Rice is a staple crop in Thailand, significantly entering both household production and consumption. This paper examines the effect of rice prices on the distribution of real income across households, taking into account household characteristics and geographical location. The data set is a large-scale survey of 11,893 households. Simple nonparametric techniques for regression and density estimation are used. These methods depend on few assumptio…

  • Saving and Liquidity Constraints

    Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•Econometrica•1991

    This paper is concerned with the theory of saving when consumers are not permitted to borrow, and with the ability of such a theory to account for some of the stylized facts of saving behavior.When consumers are relatively impatient, and when labor income is independently and identically distributed over time, assets act like a buffer stock, protecting consumption against bad draws of income.The precautionary demand for saving interacts with the …

  • Understanding Consumption

    Angus Deaton•BOOK•Understanding Consumption•1992

    Presents a comprehensive introduction to the study of consumption and saving using theoretical models based on standard microeconomic foundations as well as reviewing the substantial empirical literature on the subject. A number of related topics such as the growth‐to‐saving hypothesis, the impact of interest rates on saving, risk sharing, aggregation, and information are also covered. One main focus of the book is the debate on the permanent inc…

  • On the Behaviour of Commodity Prices

    Angus Deaton, Guy Laroque•ARTICLE•The Review of Economic Studies•1992

    This paper applies the standard rational expectations competitive storage model to the study of thirteen commodities. It explains the skewness, and the existence of rare but violent explosions in prices, coupled with a high degree of price autocorrelation in more normal times. A central feature of the model is the explicit recognition of the fact that it is impossible for the market as a whole to carry negative inventories, and this introduces an…

  • Intertemporal Choice and Inequality

    Angus Deaton, Christina Paxson•ARTICLE•Journal of Political Economy•1994•Cited by: 57•References: 4

    The permanent income hypothesis implies that, for any cohort of people, inequality in consumption and income should grow with age, a prediction that is here confirmed using data from eleven years of household survey data from the United States, twenty-two years from Great Britain, and fourteen years from Taiwan. In the permanent income hypothesis, the increase in inequality reflects the cumulative effect of luck on consumption. Other models of in…

  • The Demand for Food and Calories

    Shankar Subramanian, Angus Deaton•ARTICLE•Journal of Political Economy•1996•Cited by: 88•References: 2

    The authors investigate nutrition and expenditure in rural Maharashtra in India. They estimate that the elasticity of calorie consumption with respect to total expenditure is 0.3-0.5, a range that is in accord with conventional wisdom. The elasticity declines only slowly with levels of living and is far from the value of zero suggested by a recent revisionist literature. In these Indian data, the calories necessary for a day's activity cost less …

  • Competitive Storage and Commodity Price Dynamics

    Angus Deaton, Guy Laroque•ARTICLE•Journal of Political Economy•1996•Cited by: 18•References: 2

    By buying cheap and selling dear, risk-neutral commodity speculators can smooth commodity prices and induce serial dependence in price even when none would exist under a simple process of supply and demand. Commodity prices are variable and strongly positively correlated from one year to the next. The variability is often explained by supply factors and the autocorrelation by the activities of speculators. The authors show that this explanation i…
