Preschool Duration, Family Background and Long‐Term Outcomes
This paper analyses the long‐term effects of preschool education in France. We focus on the effect of preschool duration on educational attainment and labour market earnings in adulthood. Building on an old tradition of free and universal pre‐primary education, France implemented in the late 1960s a large‐scale expansion of preschooling facilities, leading to a massive increase in the supply of preschool. We rely on the independent variation acro…
The role of parenting style and socio-economic status in child development
We apply latent class analysis to the German Family Panel data to identify latent family types and assess the association between various aspects of the home environment and child development. These aspects include family socio-economic background, parenting style, and parental involvement in children's learning activities. Child development is measured across several dimensions, including schooling outcomes, non-cognitive abilities, psychologica…
Healthcare utilisation by diabetic patients in Denmark
Improving the management of diabetic patients is receiving increasing attention in the health policy agenda due to increasing prevalence in the population and raising pressure on healthcare resources. This paper examines the determinants of healthcare services utilisation in patients with type-2 diabetes, investigating the potential substitution effect of general practice visits on the utilisation of emergency department visits. By using rich lon…
The role of non‐base compensation in explaining the motherhood wage gap
This paper underlines the importance of accounting for non‐base compensation in explaining the motherhood wage gap. We consider two alternative measures of hourly wage using Italian EU‐SILC data from 2007 to 2019: the base‐wage and the full‐wage . The former refers to the contractual base wage, while the latter includes performance‐based bonuses, productivity bonuses, commissions, pay incentives, and other extra payments. We address the endogenei…
What’s behind pro-poor growth? An investigation of its drivers and dynamics
Standard growth incidence curves describe how growth episodes impact on the overall income distribution. However, measuring the pro-poorness of the growth process is complex due to measurement errors, and to the effect of shocks that may hit the percentiles of the income distribution in different ways. Therefore, standard growth incidence curves may misrepresent the true growth process and its distributive impact. Relying on a non-anonymous appro…
Understanding trends and drivers of urban poverty in American cities
Urban poverty
We characterize axiomatically a new index of urban poverty that i) captures aspects of the incidence and distribution of poverty across neighborhoods of a city, ii) is related to the Gini index and iii) is consistent with empirical evidence that living in a high poverty neighborhood is detrimental for many dimensions of residents’ well-being. Widely adopted measures of urban poverty, such as the concentrated poverty index, may violate some of the…
What’s behind pro-poor growth? The role of shocks and measurement error
Standard growth incidence curves describe how growth episodes impact on the overall income distribution. However, measuring the pro-poorness of the growth process is complex due to (i) measurement errors and (ii) effect shocks that may hit the percentiles of the income distribution in different ways. Therefore, standard growth incidence curves may misrepresent the true growth process and its distributive impact. Relying on a non-anonymous axiom, …
