Chronic and transient poverty: measurement and estimation, with evidence from China
Duclos, Jean-Yves; Araar, Abdelkrim; Giles, John - 2006
The paper contributes to the measurement of poverty and vulnerability in three ways. First, we propose a new approach to separating poverty into chronic and transient components. Second, we provide corrections for the statistical biases introduced when using a small number of periods to estimate...

Real-time warning signs of emerging and collapsing Chinese house price bubbles
Chen, Xi; Funke, Michael - 2012
The recent increase in Chinese house prices has led to concerns that China is vulnerable to asset price shocks. In this paper, we apply recently developed recursive unit root tests to spot the beginning and the end of potential speculative bubbles in Chinese house price cycles. Overall, we find...
