Inequalities in Wellbeing in Lebanese Children and Different Refugee Subpopulations: A Multidimensional Child Deprivation Analysis
The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12187-023-10040-2
The impact of cash transfers on Syrian refugee children in Lebanon
The impact of cash transfers on Syrian refugees in Lebanon: Evidence from a multidimensional regression discontinuity design
A Multi-Dimensional Measure of Well-being among Youth: The Case of Palestinian Refugee Youth in Lebanon
The relationship between relative deprivation and self-rated health among Palestinian women in refugee camps in Lebanon
Our findings underscore the importance of examining RD under conditions of poverty and in diverse socio-cultural contexts. They also highlight that public health approaches should be concerned with reducing social inequalities in low-income settings in addition to alleviating poverty
The health, financial and distributional consequences of increases in the tobacco excise tax among smokers in Lebanon
Tobacco use is a significant risk factor for the leading causes of death worldwide, including cancer, heart disease and stroke. Most of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, where tobacco-related deaths are also rising rapidly. Taxation is one of the most effective tobacco control measures, yet evidence on the distributional impact of tobacco taxation in low- and middle-income countries remains scant. This paper considers the fi…
The effect of taxation on tobacco consumption and public revenues in Lebanon
The estimated elasticities indicate that an increase in taxes on all tobacco products would lead to a reduction in consumption and an increase in government revenue. Evidence from Lebanon on the effectiveness of increased taxation may help initiate national debate on the need to raise taxes
Poverty and Livelihoods Among Unhcr Registered Refugees in Lebanon
Natural-Resource Wealth: Elbow Grease or Fuel for Poverty?
We consider the effect of natural resources on growth using a two-sector model (resource and nonresource). Government taxes the nonresource sector and chooses institutional quality, which determines productivity in the nonresource sector and the government's ability to appropriate resource rents. We find that resource booms harm institutions. Their effect on growth depends on relative sector sizes: when rents are more substantial, governments are…
Health equity in Lebanon: A microeconomic analysis
The lowest quintiles of expenditures per adult have less of an ability to pay out-of-pocket for healthcare, and yet incur healthcare expenditures more often than the wealthy. They have lower rates of insurance coverage, causing them to spend a larger proportion of their expenditures on health, and further confirming our results on the vulnerability of the bottom quintiles
The Role of Sectarianism in the Allocation of Public Expenditure in Postwar Lebanon
The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we aim to evaluate the records of executive branches of the Lebanese government that are involved in public social spending in terms of their ability to respond to need. Second, we attempt to uncover the criteria underlying the distribution of public social spending. The allocation of funds across sectors and administrative districts is evaluated according to a vector of the socioeconomic characteris…
Relative deprivation and mortality in South Africa
Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures
The first volume of the six-volume Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures (EWIC) set up the EWIC project as an “interdisciplinary, transhistorical, and transnational” work, spanning “all facets of the life of women” in the “civilizations and societies in which Islam has played a historic role” (I: xxi), from the rise of Islam to the present day and extending from West Africa to Central and South Asia, according to the general editor, Suad Jos…
