The Poverty Effects of Market Concentration
This paper contributes to the limited \n literature on the welfare impacts of market concentration by \n developing a simple model that shows how exogenous \n variations in market power affect poverty. Increased market \n power leads to economy-wide welfare losses, because it \n raises the prices of goods and services for all agents in an \n economy and thus reduces the relative incomes of households, \n particularly among the poor. Declines in p…

Multidimensional poverty calculations \n typically comprise three indices: the multidimensional \n headcount, the average deprivation share among the poor, and \n the adjusted headcount ratio.

The relationship between income inequality and crime has attracted the interest of many researchers, but little convincing evidence exists on the causal effect of inequality on crime in developing countries. This paper estimates this effect in a unique context: Mexico's Drug War. The analysis takes advantage of a unique data set containing inequality and crime statistics for more than 2,000 Mexican municipalities covering a period of 20 years. Us…
