Analysis of Spatial Disparities by a Structural Equations Model
2008
This paper presents a new analytical framework for assessing spatial disparities among countries. It takes for granted that the analysis of a country’s performance cannot be limited solely to either economic or social factors. The aim of the paper is to combine relevant economic and non-economic (mainly social) aspects of a country’s performance in an integrated logical framework. Based on this idea, a structural simultaneous equation model will be presented and estimated in order to explore the direction of the causal relationship between the economic and the non-economic aspects of a country’s performance. Furthermore, an exploration of the trajectory that each country has registered over…

INEQUALITIES AND TOURISM CONSUMPTION BEHAVIOUR: A MIXTURE MODEL ANALYSIS
2015
The criticism of income as a measure of well-being and trends in living standards is well known and recently scholars have been involved in defining measures to better assess material well-being and differences in living standards. Recent evidence shows that individuals improve their well-being significantly if they are able to spend on higher-order goods and services like tourism and leisure activities. In the light of that, our study proposes to explore differences in living standards in Italy by analysing the distribution of tourism expenditure. For this aim, Mixtures of Regression Models were used in order to investigate whether there is an unobserved heterogeneity in tourism consumptio…
Labour market response to globalisation: spain, 1880-1913
2010
Abstract This paper analyses the impact of globalisation (trade and migration) on the Spanish labour market between 1880 and 1913 by examining the influence that globalisation factors had on agricultural and industrial wages. Our results show that the nineteenth century grain invasion had a negative impact on agricultural wages, whereas the fall in wheat prices did not benefit industry workers. We also found that migration pushed up real agricultural and industrial wages. As agriculture was the main sector in the economy, the final impact was a wage decrease. The negative impact of trade on agricultural and industrial labour markets partly explains the trade policy response of “integral pro…
Wpływ programu 500+ na poziom życia gospodarstw domowych wychowujących dzieci i jego samoocenę w Polsce w 2016 roku
2018
W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań gospodarstw domowych w Polsce dotyczących wybranych uwarunkowań samooceny ich sytuacji materialnej. W szczególności uwzględniono wprowadzone w kwietniu 2016 roku świadczenie wychowawcze w ramach programu Rodzina 500+. W tym celu przeprowadzono analizę porównawczą relacji między samooceną a dochodami, wydatkami konsumpcyjnymi i wybranymi charakterystykami gospodarstw zaliczanych do grupy wychowujących dzieci. Analiza wykazała, że istnieje silna zależność oceny własnej sytuacji ekonomicznej gospodarstw zarówno od uzyskiwanych dochodów, jak i wydatków konsumpcyjnych. Dochody z tytułu świadczenia wychowawczego okazały się istotnym czynnikiem poprawy sytuacj…
