It is a question of income. The increase in the global inequality of income distribution has to do with the global distribution of property and property rights. At present the richest 1% of the world’s population has income equal to that of the bottom 57%, in other words, ca. 50 million wealthy people have the same amount of money at their disposal as 2.7 billion poor. The top 10% of the U.S. p...
Outside of China, despite rapid economic growth in many low and middle income countries, there has been little progress in meeting the MDG1 target of halving the incidence of global poverty by 2014. Part of the explanation for this weak poverty-reducing performance has been the historic trajectory of innovation. During the 20 Century, most of global innovation had its origins in the north, prod...
This paper analyzes the effects of government debt and income taxes on consumption and saving in a world of infinitely lived households having uncertain and heterogeneous incomes. The special structure of the model allows exact aggregation across households despite incomplete markets. The effects of government debt are shown to be substantial, roughly comparable to those resulting from finite h...
We are grateful for Martin Ravallion’s detailed and sincere attempt to respond to our criticisms of the World Bank’s methodology for measuring global income poverty. However, in this reply to Ravallion, we show that his attempt to defend the World Bank’s methodology is unconvincing. It seriously misstates a number of our criticisms, responds inadequately to others, and fails altogether to menti...

METHODS Data were collected using standardised interviews and community probability sample survey methods conducted a...
We reflect on remarkable accomplishments in global tuberculosis (TB) control and identify persistent obstacles to the successful elimination of TB from the United States and globally. One hundred and twenty nine years after Koch's discovery of the etiologic agent of TB, this health scourge continues to account for 9.4 million cases and 1.7 million deaths annually worldwide. Implementation of th...
Under the (legal) radar screen: global health initiatives and international human rights obligations
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Given that many low income countries are heavily reliant on external assistance to fund their health sectors the acceptance of obligations of international assistance and cooperation with regard to the right to health (global health obligations) is insufficiently understood and studied by international health and human rights scholars. Over the past decade Global Health...
The Purchase price report released in August 2004 by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (Global Fund) was the first publication of a significant amount of real transaction purchase data for antiretrovirals (ARVs). We did an observational study of the ARV transaction data in the Purchase price report to examine the procurement behaviour of principal recipients of Global Fun...
BACKGROUND Few studies have assessed the extent and distribution of the blood-pressure burden worldwide. The aim of this study was to quantify the global burden of disease related to high blood pressure. METHODS Worldwide burden of disease attributable to high blood pressure (> or =115 mm Hg systolic) was estimated for groups according to age (> or =30 years), sex, and World Bank region in th...
Thrombosis is a common pathology underlying ischaemic heart disease, ischaemic stroke, and venous thromboembolism (VTE). The Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (GBD 2010) documented that ischaemic heart disease and stroke collectively caused one in four deaths worldwide. GBD 2010 did not report data for VTE as a cause of death and disability. We performed a systematic review of the literature ...
