Welfare Dependence and Self-Control: An Empirical Analysis

Welfare Dependence and Self-Control: An Empirical Analysis

This paper investigates the behavioral and policy mechanisms that generate dependence on welfare programs. A dynamic model with labor supply disincentives and state dependence in preferences is expanded to incorporate time-inconsistency, which induces addictive behavior due to problems of self-commitment. Estimation is based on data from a welfare reform experiment, which contains a unique poli...

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Female and Child Welfare in India: an Empirical Analysis

An Analysis of Welfare Effect of Traditional Tariff (Exogenous) and

Welfare effect of tariff for a small country in the case of traditional tariff (exogenous) compared to free trade would decrease the welfare of the country. This paper has shown that the welfare effect of tariff in case of untraditional tariff (endogenous) can be explained by using the specific factors models (Jones) that fundamentally determined by Cournut- Nash Equilibrium system in contrary ...

Empirical welfare analysis: when preferences matter

Fleurbaey and Maniquet have proposed the criteria of conditional equality and of egalitarian equivalence to assess the equity among individuals in an ordinal setting. Empirical applications are rare and only partially consistent with their framework. We propose a new empirical approach that relies on individual preferences, is consistent with the ordinal criteria and enables to compare them wit...
