Kırsal alanda yaşanan yoksulluk ve gelir eşitsizliği, Dünya’da olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de önlem alınması gereken en temel problemlerden biridir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, tarım işletmelerinde durumunu eşitsizliğini ölçerek, sosyo-demografik yapısal özelliklerin üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırmanın materyalini 2019 yılında Aydın ili Nazilli ilçesinde 59 işletmesiyle yapılan yüz yüze anket...

The ‘normalization’ axiom associated with Sen’s poverty index–and this, indeed, holds for most extant measures of poverty—entails an uncomfortable implication when we adopt a strong, or inclusive, definition the poor. This paper suggests that may not always be at liberty to weak definition. available alternative then is change form measure. Accordingly, modification his normalization which lead...

This work aimed to analyze the causality between corruption and poverty in Brazil a group of seven other South American countries, from 2002 2018, using methodology applied by Dumitrescu Hurlin (2012) for heterogeneous panels. The variables employed are Corruption Perception Index (CPI)and Control (CC) index and, as measures poverty, indexes proposed Foster, Greer, Thorbecke (1984), considering...

this paper used a general equilibrium model to evaluate the effects of adjustment polices. the model includes both demand and supply side equations. relationships concerning household and government income are also included in model. iterative three-stage least squares method is used-toestimatethe.model: then the mode/is used to simulate the effect of sevenaltemative policies on poverty and inc...

in nigeria, most farming activities rely on family labor. however, rural-urban drift and the movement of young people away from agriculture are making labor increasingly pause. thus, labor has become a major constraint to expanding the scope of production by small-scale resource poor farmers. this paper provides an empirical relationship between labor and poverty using data from households. thr...

This paper presents a new family of chronic poverty measures based on the P α poverty measures of Foster, Greer,and Thorbecke (1984). The chronically poor are identified using two cutoffs: a standard poverty line, which identifies the time periods during which a person is poor; and a duration cutoff, which is the minimum percentage of time a person must be in poverty in order to be chronically ...

This paper explores a unified framework for the study of changes in poverty over time as measured by the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty indices. First we identify a multiplicative decomposition for the indices of this family as a product of the three components which should be involved in every poverty index: the incidence, the intensity and the inequality in the distribution of the income of t...

I derive poverty indices taking into account both the absolute and relative aspects of income well-being. The trade-off made by the social planner between those two aspects is captured at individual level by a well-being ordering. This ordering evaluates the well-being of an agent based on her income and a reference statistic on the income distribution, typically the mean. A family of poverty i...
