-household resource sharing, we construct globally comparable measures of gender inequality and child poverty in consumption. Our findings … reveal a widespread imbalance: women receive about one-fifth less than men, leading to a 60% higher poverty rate. Children … nutritional proxies tend to validate our results, linking household poverty and intra-household disparities to child …

We suggest a simple and flexible criterion to assess inter-generational mobility. It accommodates different types of outcomes (continuous outcomes such as potential earnings, or discrete ones such as education groups) and captures dynastic improvements of such outcomes at different points of the...

We suggest a simple and flexible criterion to assess relative inter-generational mobility. It accommodates different types of outcomes, such as (continuous) earnings or (discrete and ordinal) education levels, and captures dynastic improvements of such outcomes at different points of the initial...

Since women are disproportionately in low paid work, they should benefit the most from minimum wage policies. We exploit the introduction of a national minimum wage (MW) in Ireland (in 2000) and the UK (in 1999) to check this prediction. Using panel survey data, we implement...
