Placing the Blame
A Bayesian Measure of Poverty in the Developing World
We propose a new methodology to revise the international poverty line (IPL) after Ravallion et al . (2009) using the same database, but augmented with new variables to take into account social inclusion in the definition of poverty along the lines of Atkinson and Bourguignon (2001). We provide an estimation of the world income distribution and of the corresponding number of poor people in the developing world. Our revised IPL is based on an augme…
Simulation Estimation of Two-tiered Dynamic Panel Tobit Models with an Application to the labour Supply of Married Women
We find that the empirical results reported in Chang (Journal of Applied Econometrics 2011; 26(5): 854–871) are contingent on the specification of the model. The use of Heckman's initial conditions combined with observed and not latent lagged dependent variables leads to a counter-intuitive estimation of the true state dependence. The use of Wooldridge's initial conditions together with the observed lagged dependent variable and a proper modellin…
Chinese Perceptions of the Jews' and Judaism
While prejudice against Jews is a real and ongoing category in Western culture, little attention has been paid to the myths of the Jews' and their impact in countries outside the West. This work draws on a wide variety of source materials from the past two centuries to examine the images of the Jews' as constructed in China. However, the interest here does not lie in the determination of the boundary between the real and fictional aspects of thes…
Forgotten Voices of Mao's Great Famine, 1958-1962
In 1958, China’s revered leader Mao Zedong instituted a program designed to transform his giant nation into a Communist utopia. Called the Great Leap Forward, Mao’s grand scheme—like so many other utopian dreams of the twentieth century—proved a monumental disaster, resulting in the mass destruction of China’s agriculture, industry, and trade while leaving large portions of the countryside forever scarred by man-made environmental disasters. The …
‘Kitchen Knowledge’, Desperate Foods, and Ritual Healing in Everyday Survival Strategies during the Great Famine in China, 1958–62
Famine is a social and economic crisis that is commonly accompanied by widespread of malnutrition, starvation, epidemic disease, and increased mortality. This paper focuses on the period of the Great Leap Famine in China between 1958 and 1962. Based on newly-collected oral interviews and archival evidence, it gives voices to ordinary villagers from different parts of China—from various counties in one of China’s biggest and most populated Sichuan…
Mikvah in Beijing
This essay attempts to explore the development of the Jewish presence in the Chinese capital since 2001. The key question to ask is what it means to be Jewish in international cities such as Beijing, where the current population is made up of people from all over the world. By focusing on the mikvah, the essay argues that in Beijing this ‘integral part of Jewish life’ has been transformed into a global experience and product. It further investiga…
Narcotic Culture
The book analyses the influence of medicinal and recreational drug consumption in China from the late Ming period (c.1600) to the fall of the Republic on the Chinese mainland (1949). It questions the assumption that opium (and later semi-synthetic opiates) were responsible for the military and political weakness of China during much of the the 19th and 20th centuries, pointing to patterns of social consumption which provided for stability and eco…
Chinese Perceptions of the "Jews" and Judaism
While prejudice against Jews is a real and ongoing category in Western culture, little attention has been paid to the myths of the Jews' and their impact in countries outside the West.

However, the interest here does not lie in the determination of the boundary between the real and fictional aspects of thes…
The Jews’ in Chinese Cultural Debate, 1915–30
Representations of 'the Jews' in modern China are complex: while they seem to correspond to images of 'the Jews' in Europe, it would be superficial to reduce them purely to 'Western influence'. In China, representations of 'the Jews' have been endowed with indigenous meaning by modernising élites. By constructing 'the Jews' as a homogenous group, or 'the Jew' as a constitutive outsider, who embodies all the negative as well as positive qualities …
