Life Quantity, Life Quality and Longevity : an Intertemporal Social Evaluation framework

Duclos, Jean-Yves; Housseini, Bouba - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2013

The evaluation of development processes and of public policies often involves comparisons of social states in which populations differ in size and longevity. This requires social evaluation principles to be sensitive to both the number and the length of lives. This paper explores the use of...

Robust Multidimensional Spatial Poverty Comparisons in Ghana, Madagascar, and Uganda

Duclos, Jean-Yves; Sahn, David; Younger, Stephen D. - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2005

We investigate spatial poverty comparisons in three African countries using multidimensional indicators of well-being. The work is analogous to the univariate stochastic dominance literature in that we seek poverty orderings that are robust to the choice of multidimensional poverty lines and...

Polarization: Robust Multidimensional Poverty Comparisons

Duclos, Jean-Yves; Sahn, David; Younger, Stephen D. - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2003

We investigate how to make poverty comparisons using multidimensional indicators of well-being, showing in particular how to check whether the comparisons are robust to aggregation procedures and to the choice of multidimensional poverty lines. In contrast to earlier work, our methodology...

Robust Multidimensional Poverty Comparisons with Discrete Indicators of Well-being

Duclos, Jean-Yves; Sahn, David; Younger, Stephen D. - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2006

This paper provides a method to make robust multidimensional poverty comparisons when one or more of the dimensions of well-being or deprivation is discrete. Sampling distributions for the statistics used in these poverty comparisons are provided. Several examples show that the methods are both...

City Size and the Henry George Theorem under Monopolistic Competition

Behrens, Kristian; Murata, Yasusada - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2008

We analyze the equilibrium and the optimal resource allocations in a monocentric city under monopolistic competition. Unlike the constant elasticity of substitution (CES) case, where the equilibrium markups are independent of city size, we present a variable elasticity of substitution (VES) case...

Une application expérimentale de la méthode de minimisation de l'entropie croisée: l'estimation des flux d'échanges interrégionaux au Québec

Dubé, Jean; Lemelin, André - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2005

Cet article présente une application expérimentale de la méthode d'estimation des flux d'échanges entre des régions par la minimisation de l'entropie croisée (mesure de Kullback-Leibler). Les flux interrégionaux ont été estimés pour 31 catégories de biens et services, entre trois...
