Fiscal Redistribution in Comparative Perspective
Multilevel Governance in North America
Although the notion of multilevel governance stems from research on the process of European integration, in recent years, scholars have applied this notion to a variety of places and contexts, diminishing the theoretical utility of the concept. In order to address recent criticisms, this article lends support to a recently revised conception of multilevel governance and explores the recent case of the Detroit River International Crossing, and the…
Electoral Turnout and State Redistribution
This study explores the relationship between electoral participation and income redistribution by way of social transfers, using data from the European Social Survey, the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems, and the Luxembourg Income Study. It extends previous research by measuring the income skew of turnout rather than using average turnout as a proxy for its income bias. We find that, controlling for a number of other variables, the income s…
Political Sources of Government Redistribution in High-Income Countries
This chapter explores the relationship between political participation and income redistribution in high-income countries, with particular focus on middle-income groups. The first part describes government redistribution as it affects the second, third, and fourth income quintile groups, employing data from the LIS Database. The second conducts a cross-national analysis that considers the sources of variation in redistribution toward and away fro…
Comparing Government Redistribution Across Countries
Objective. We offer an alternative to the conventional measure of government redistribution that seeks to address problems of second‐order effects whereby income guarantees arising from public pensions make it less necessary for people to save for their retirement, rendering the “pregovernment” counterfactual to the observed postgovernment distribution unrealistic. Method. We use household‐level data from the Luxembourg Income Study to calculate …

Europe and the Politics of Capabilities
Europe and the Politics of Capabilities. Edited by Robert Salais and Robert Villeneuve. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005. 328p. $90. This innovative edited collection seeks to help shape the academic and policy debate over the future of the welfare state in Europe by introducing and advocating Amartya Sen's “capabilities approach.” Since the editors' primary objective is to promote a particular set of policies, there is little effort b…
Fiscal redistribution in the developed countries
This paper offers a detailed discussion of fiscal redistribution in developed countries, employing data that have been computed from the LIS's micro-level database. LIS data are detailed enough to allow us not only to measure overall redistribution but also to explore whether redistribution has been achieved primarily through taxes or transfers; to determine whether it is associated with the size or the internal target efficiency of social benefi…
Poverty and income inequality in Luxembourg and the Grande Region in comparative perspective
This paper adopts a comparative framework and examines rates of poverty and income inequality for Luxembourg between the mid-1980s and 2000. A dataset for the Grande Region, which combines data from four countries, is also constructed in order to perform cross- and inter-regional analyses. We find that levels of poverty and income inequality in Luxembourg are among the lowest in the world and that the 'depth' of poverty is comparatively low. In a…
The Regional Dynamics of European Electoral Politics
This paper examines the relationship between regional economic conditions and individual political participation in the mid-1990s for Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. In exploring this connection, I construct regional poverty rates, unemployment rates, and inequality scores using data made available through the efforts of the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) and Eurostat (2000). I also identify regional economic d…
The 1996 Chicago Latino Registered Voter Political Survey
The Latino population in the United States has been expanding at a tremendous rate in recent decades and as the number of Latinos in the United States grows, so does their potential for influencing American politics grow. Yet, we have a very limited understanding of Latino civic engagement, political behavior, and public policy opinions. This article presents the results of a survey of 408 registered Latino voters in Chicago, Illinois. The findin…
Exploring the Impact of Trade and Investment on Income Inequality
This article explores the relationship between international integration and domestic inequality in the developed countries in the mid-1980s and early 1990s. The analysis examines two major modes of integration, trade and direct investment, disaggregating each by economic sector and distinguishing between imports and exports, and inbound and outbound flows and stocks. In measuring income inequality, extensive use is made of micro-data sets that h…
