Hierarchy of Needs and the Measurement of Poverty and Standards of Living
The focus of this Element is on the idea that choice is hierarchical so that there exists an order of acquisition of durable goods and assets as real incomes increase. Two main approaches to deriving such an order are presented, the so-called Paroush approach and Item Response Theory. An empirical illustration follows, based on the 2019 Eurobarometer Survey. The Element ends with two sections showing first how measures of inequality, poverty and …
Using the Shapley Decomposition to Disentangle the Impact of Circumstances and Efforts on Health Inequality
Privatization and subsidization of adoption services from foster care
Material Deprivation in Europe
The Measurement of Individual Well-Being and Group Inequalities
Although most traditional economic theory puts the individual at the centre of analysis, more recent approaches have acknowledged the importance of a wider sense of identity as a determinant of individual behaviour. Whether it is ethnicity, religion or gender, group membership is a central part of human life. This book presents new advances in areas which consider both the individual and the group when measuring inequalities and well-being. The f…
An ordinal approach to the study of intergenerational opportunities for standard of living
On the Watts Multidimensional Poverty Index and its Decomposition
Measuring Multidimensional Poverty
This paper makes a systematic comparison of four approaches to multidimensional poverty analysis based respectively on the theory of fuzzy sets, information theory, efficiency analysis and axiomatic derivations of poverty indices. The database was the 1995 Israeli Census that provided information on the ownership of various durable goods. There appears to be a fair degree of agreement between the various multidimensional poverty indices concernin…

Changing a Decision Taken under Uncertainty
In this paper we analyse the allocation of criminal activity over the metropolitan area over time. At each period of time, the criminal must choose in which area to commit his/her next offence. The criminal's expectations regarding his/her utility as a function of the probability to be apprehended are updated in the process of work. We find general conditions, under which the criminal determines his optimal location strategy. A direct policy impl…
Joint Estimation of Population Density Functions and the Location of the Central Business District
A Von Thünen Model of Crime, Casinos and Property Values in New Jersey
Urban economic models suggest that, ceteris paribus, land values diminish with distance from a central business district (CBD) which 'produces' employment, income and other amenities. A new industry like casino gaming may have jobs and increased income associated with it. These amenities will induce an increase in property values. The size of that increase diminishes with distance from the city centre. The new industry may have the negative by-pr…
The Effects of Criminal Experience on the Incidence of Crime
A hypothesis has been analyzed that criminals learn by doing, that with experience criminals increase their activity so that with level outlays on police the incidence of crime may be increasing. This hypothesis is tested by statistical analysis of time series cross sectional data on crime levels, police outlays and various socioeconomic variables. The results confirm that "learning by doing"-accumulating criminal experience-increases criminal ac…
