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…

Does Tourism Consumption Behaviour Mirror Differences in Living Standards?
2016
Based on the theoretical foundation of well-being measurement, the study explores differences in living standards by analysing the distribution of tourism expenditure. A mixture of regression models is used to explore the heterogeneity in tourism consumption by identifying groups of families with similar tourism consumption behaviour as a function of certain socio-demographic and economic factors. The empirical analysis, performed on Italian expenditure data, suggests that there are three different patterns of consumption behaviour conditional to the socio-demographic and economic covariates in the tourism market and that differences in tourism consumption between groups of households mirro…

Children’s Diet during the Early Stages of the Nutritional Transition. The Foundlings in the Hospital of Valencia (Spain), 1852–1931
2021
The nutritional transition brought about profound changes in the nutrition of the European population in the 19th and 20th centuries. The predominant consumption of cereals gave way to kilocalorie-, protein-, vitamin- and mineral-rich diets that involved a greater intake of animal products. However, not all population groups underwent this transition at the same pace
Poziom rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego jako determinanta przestrzennego zróżnicowania stopnia zaspokojenia potrzeb gospodarstw domowych w Polsce
2018
W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań dotyczących relacji pomiędzy poziomem rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego a poziomem konsumpcji i samooceną zaspokojenia potrzeb konsumentów w województwach w 2015 r. Celem badań było określenie siły wpływu zróżnicowania województw pod względem poziomu rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego i konsumpcji na zróżnicowanie samooceny zaspokojenia potrzeb gospodarstw domowych.Analizie poddano zwłaszcza zróżnicowanie poziomu rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego województw, przestrzenne zróżnicowanie wybranych charakterystyk demograficznych i ekonomicznych gospodarstw domowych, samoocenę sytuacji materialnej oraz stopnia zaspokojenia wybranych grup potrzeb gospodarstw domowyc…
Dzīves līmeņa Latvijā salīdzinājums ar Centrālās un Austrumeiropas valstīm
2017
Šī darba mērķis ir apskatīt dzīves līmeni no ienākumu, nodarbinātības, nabadzības līmeņa, izglītības pieejamības un kvalitātes, un mājokļu piejamības un kvalitātes aspekta. Komponentes ir aprakstītas teorētiski, noskaidrojot ekonomisko nozīmi, veidošanos un savstarpējo saistību. Analīze ir veikta 5 Centrāl un Austrumeiropas valstīs - Latvijā, Bulgārijā, Rumānija, Gruzijā un Ukrainā, pēc teorētiski apskatītajiem dzīves līmeņa aspektiem. Pētījumā tika noskaidrots subjektīvais iedzīvotāju novērtējums Latvijas galvaspilsētā un 1 mazpilsētā, ar mērķi, noskaidrot dzīves līmeņa atšķirības un pierādot dzīves līmeņa nevienlīdzību. Pētījuma rezultātā tika noskaidrots, ka dzīves līmenis Latvijā, salīd…
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…
The measurement of economic, social and environmental performance of countries: a novel approach
2010
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 economic and non-economic aspects of a country's performance. Furthermore, an exploration of the trajectory that each country has registered over time …
