In 1990, Cerioli and Zani introduced an operational multivariate method to analyse and measure poverty, aiming at incorporating several dimensions of poverty. As Dagum and Costa [2004] showed, this study applies the fuzzy set theoretic approach and thus making quantitatively operational the...

Given the multiplicative decomposition of the Sen index into three commonly used poverty statistics – the poverty rate (poverty incidence), poverty gap ratio (poverty depth) and 1 plus the Gini index of poverty gap ratios of the poor (inequality of poverty) – the index becomes much easier to...

We show in this paper that the growth rate of the Sen index is multi-decomposable, that is, decomposable simultaneously by subgroups and income sources. The multi-decomposition of the poverty growth yields respectively: the growth rate of the poverty incidence (poverty rate) decomposed by...

Viele Kritiker gehen davon aus, dass im Zuge der Globalisierung der Kündigungsschutz und die Arbeitslosenunterstützung reduziert und gesetzliche Mindestlöhne gesenkt bzw. gar nicht erst eingeführt werden. Eine neue Studie, die den Einfluss von Globalisierung auf die Arbeitsmarktinstitutionen...

We suggest that procedures of monetarized bidding can facilitate co-operation in Elinor Ostrom type common(s) projects without crowding out communitarian faculties of "self-governance". Axioms securing procedurally egalitarian bidding on the basis of declared monetary evaluations are introduced....

This paper derives and justifies a procedurally fair bidding mechanism and reviews experiments that apply the mechanism to public projects pro- vision. In the experiments, not all parties benefit from provision, and the projects' costs can be negative. The experimental results indicate that the...

We enrich the choice task of responders in ultimatum games by allow- ing them to independently decide whether to collect what is offered to them and whether to destroy what the proposer demanded. Such a multidimensional response format intends to cast further light on the motives guiding...
