  • Fiscal Policy Effects on Poverty and Inequality in Cambodia

    Open AccessWendy Karamba, Michal Myck et al.BOOK2023

    This study assesses the short-term impact of fiscal policy, and its individual elements, on poverty and inequality in Cambodia as of 2019. It applies the Commitment to Equity methodology to data from the Cambodia Socio-economic Survey of 2019/20 and fiscal administrative data from various government ministries, departments, and agencies for the assessment.

  • Home Alone: Widows’ Well-Being and Time

    Open AccessMaja Adena, Daniel S Hamermesh et al.ARTICLEJournal of Happiness Studies2023

    Using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE, 2004–17) and time diaries from Poland (2013), the U.S. (2006–16), the U.K. (2014–15) and France (2009–10), we examine differences between widowed and partnered older women in well-being and its development in widowhood. Most importantly, our analysis accounts for time use, an aspect which has not been studied previously. We trace the evolution of well-being of women who…

  • Deaths during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic: Insights from regional patterns in Germany and Poland

    Open AccessMichal Myck, Monika Oczkowska et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    In contrast to Germany, for Poland we do not observe the expected spatial pattern of total excess deaths and the excess deaths over and above the official COVID-19 deaths. This difference cannot be explained by pre-pandemic regional factors such as economic and population structures or by healthcare infrastructure. The findings point to the need for alternative explanations related to the Polish policy reaction to the pandemic and failures in the…

  • Sharing the gains of transition: Evaluating changes in income inequality and redistribution in Poland using combined survey and tax return data

    Open AccessMichael Brzezinski, Michal Myck et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Political…2022

    We use Pareto imputation, survey reweighting, and microsimulation methods applied to combined household survey and tax return data to re-evaluate trends in income inequality and redistribution in the follow up of the post-socialist transition in Poland. Our approach results in the first estimates of top-corrected inequality trends for real equivalised disposable incomes over the years 1994–2015, a period so far believed to represent a time of not…

  • La santé des personnes âgées selon le niveau socio-économique: Évolutions au fil des générations

    Michal Myck, Mateusz Najsztub et al.ARTICLERetraite et société2020

    À partir des données de l’enquête sur la santé, le vieillissement et la retraite en Europe (Share), nous pouvons analyser la relation qui existe entre la santé et les conditions socioéconomiques : c’est ce que nous appelons « gradient socio-économique de la santé ». Nous nous intéressons aux individus âgés de 50 à 56 ans de 10 pays européens à deux périodes distinctes (2004-2006 et 2013-2015), en comparant le gradient entre deux groupes de généra…

  • Implications of Social and Material Deprivation for Changes in Health of Older People

    Open AccessMichal Myck, Mateusz Najsztub et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2019Cited by: 2References: 7

    Objective: We use the panel structure of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) data for 14 countries to examine the implications of material and social deprivation for health deterioration in old age and mortality. Method: To minimize the potential endogeneity bias, we examine the relationship between deprivation and changes in health rather than levels of health. We include a substantial set of fixed "initial conditions,"…

    Axel Börsch-Supan, Axel Börsch-Supan et al.BOOKAgeing in Europe - Supporting…2015

    SHARE is an international survey designed to answer the societal challenges that face us due to rapid population ageing. How do we Europeans age?

The authors of this multidisciplinary book have taken a further big step towards answering these questions based on the recent SHARE data in order to support policies for an inclusive society
