. -- income instability ; poverty ; inequality ; economic growth ; growth elasticity of poverty ; poverty trap … of growth, due to poverty traps, often examined at the microeconomic level. Testing a model of poverty change on a panel …Macroeconomic instability has been increasingly considered as a factor lowering average income growth and, in this way …

In this chapter we argue that the endogenous growth model with quality-improving innovations provides a framework for … analyzing the determinants of long-run growth and convergence that is versatile, simple and empirically useful. Versatile, as … the same framework can be used to analyze how growth interacts with development and cross-country convergence and …

consistent assessments of social welfare, inequality and poverty embodied in a given income distribution. Methods: We propose … distributions. Social planners commonly use two SWFs: SWFε implied by income inequality aversion (ε) and SWFv implied by rank … inequality aversion (v). However, a voluntary choice of ε or v may result in inconsistent assessments of social welfare embodied …

between a microeconomic section on the determinants of remittances and a macroeconomic section on their growth effects. At the …-run impact of remittances. We then use an endogenous growth framework to describe the growth potential of remittances and present … the evidence for different growth channels. There is considerable evidence that remittances (in the form of savings …

Poverty-growth elasticities are frequently calculated to provide insight into the inclusiveness of the growth process …. Mathematically, the formula employed to calculate the growth elasticity of poverty leads to lower values for higher initial poverty … and space. Poverty-growth semi-elasticities provide a more robust measure of the responsiveness of poverty to growth. …

The innovative approach presented introduces a modified neoclassical growth model which includes a new bias of … technological progress in a quasi-endogenous growth model in which part of labor is used in the research & development sector.

The effects of inequality on economic growth depend on several factors. On one hand, they depend on the time horizon … considered, on the initial level of income and on its initial distribution. But, on the other hand, as growth and inequality are … rates, this work analyzes how increasing inequality and increasing agglomeration influence economic growth depending on the …

We study the effect of endogenous time preference in a simple neo-classical model of growth. The variation of time … preference causes the economy to have multiple steady states, some of which are similar to poverty traps. The stability … properties of these steady states are analyzed. The results are interpreted in light of the growth experiences of developing …
