Abstract:
In this essay, we discuss the importance of consumption inequality in the debate concerning the measurement of disparities in economic well-being. We summarize the advantages and disadvantages of using consumption as opposed to income for measuring trends in economic well-being. We critically evaluate the available evidence on these trends, and in particular discuss how the literature has evolved in its assessment of whether consumption inequality has grown as much as or less than income inequality. We provide some novel evidence on three relatively unexplored themes: inequality in different spending components, inequality in leisure time, and intergenerational consumption mobility.

Abstract:
We revisit to what extent the increase in income inequality since 1980 was mirrored by consumption inequality. We do so by constructing an alternative measure of consumption expenditure using a demand system to correct for systematic measurement error in the Consumer Expenditure Survey. Our estimation exploits the relative expenditure of high- and low-income households on luxuries versus necessities. This double differencing corrects for measurement error that can vary over time by good and income. We find consumption inequality tracked income inequality much more closely than estimated by direct responses on expenditures. (JEL D31, D63, E21)

Abstract:
An intertemporal decision model is presented in which subjects save less for retirement than the permanent income hypothesis predicts, signaling optimistic income prospects (and therefore high latent productivity) to possible partners in productive exchanges. Competitive conspicuous consumption (CCC), as it is called, is a self-defeating strategy, if followed by subjects simultaneously. Egalitarian policies (which have to be distinguished from pure welfare policies) tend to lower excess consumption. The CCC-hypothesis justifies a cross-sectional Keynesian consumption function with declining marginal propensities to consume. It is argued that the cultural context is highly relevant to the scope and importance of CCC. (author's abstract)

A análise da desigualdade tradicionalmente tem-se baseado em medidas de renda em nível domiciliar, ignorando a distribuição de recursos dentro do agregado familiar. De fato, a análise tradicional da desigualdade baseia-se no modelo unitário de comportamento do consumidor, que assume uma distribuição igualitária dos recursos entre os membros da família. Ao fazê-lo, aspectos importantes como os ganhos decorrente do consumo conjunto, que poderiam influenciar o bem-estar individual, não são levados em consideração. Esta desvantagem ocorre porque os microdados sobre o consumo costumam fornecer informações ao nível do agregado familiar, em lugar de fornecê-lo ao nível individual, tornando impossível obter medições diretas da desigualdade com base no consumo individual. O Brasil não é exceção nesta questão e a análise de como o processo de alocação de recursos dentro dos domicílios é dado não tem recebido muita atenção e continua sendo um enigma. Para preencher essa lacuna, esta pesquisa aplica um modelo de consumo coletivo para analisar a desigualdade econômica entre indivíduos de famílias brasileiras. Para alcançar este objetivo, identificaram-se as chamadas parcelas de recursos, que são consideradas medidas das despesas de consumo individual e podem ser estimadas diretamente a partir de dados em nível domiciliar. Em particular, foi identificada a participação de cada membro no consumo total de sua família, por meio de suas despesas com bens privados, como roupas e sapatos. Assim, informações sobre o bem-estar econômico de cada membro da família foram obtidas. Este estudo utilizou microdados da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares (POF 2008/2009) coletada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). A análise foi restrita a famílias tradicionais, ou seja, casais sem ou com até três filhos. Os resultados empíricos revelaram a existência de desigualdade na alocação de recursos dentro dos domicílios. Em particular, verificou-se que nas famílias brasileiras os homens absorvem uma maior fração dos recursos familiares do que as mulheres, em todos os tamanhos das famílias analisadas. Verificou-se também que a proporção dos recursos totais dedicados às crianças aumenta com o número de crianças, mas a proporção média por criança decresce. Além disso, os resultados sugerem que o nível de educação dos adultos parece estar associado a uma maior parte de sua fração na despesa total, mas negativamente relacionado com os recursos de seu parceiro. Por outro lado, constatou-se um efeito positivo da participação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho e seu nível de educação sobre as parcelas dos recursos de seus filhos. Ademais, os resultados identificam uma possível heterogeneidade na alocação de recursos dentro do agregado familiar entre as regiões. Em particular, verificou-se que famílias localizadas nas regiões Sudeste e Nordeste parecem distribuir seus recursos de forma mais igualitária entre os seus membros comparados com às outras regiões. Em geral, os resultados obtidos não rejeitaram o modelo coletivo de comportamento dos domicílios em todas as estimativas. Em contrapartida, nós rejeitamos o modelo unitário padrão. Finalmente, esses resultados são informativamente cruciais para o desenho de políticas redistributivas ou programas sociais porque proporcionam uma visão mais ampla e mais precisa do bem-estar dos indivíduos. Mais precisamente, nossos resultados podem informar os formuladores de políticas sobre como beneficiar aos indivíduos efetivamente dentro dos domicílios, a fim de minimizar a incidência da desigualdade, bem como fornecer informações úteis para os programas de Transferência Condicionada de Renda (como Bolsa-Família) sobre como desenhar as transferências de forma mais eficiente.
The analysis of inequality has been traditionally based on measures of income at the household level, ignoring the distribution of resources within the household. In fact, the traditional analysis of inequality had been based on the unitary model of consumer behavior, which assume an equal distribution of resources among family members. In doing so, important aspects as gains from joint consumption, that could influence individual well-being, are not taken into account. This drawback has occurred because typical micro-data on consumption usually provide information at the household level instead of at individual level, making it impossible to obtain direct measures of inequality based on individual consumption. Brazil is not an exception on this issue and the analysis of how the intra-household resource allocation process is given has not received much attention and remains a puzzle. In order to fill this gap, this research apply a collective consumption model to analyze economic inequality among individuals of Brazilian families. To achieve this, we identify the so-called resource shares, which are considered useful measures of individual consumption expenditure and can be estimated directly from household level data. In particular, we identify each member’s share of total household consumption through his or her expenditure on a private assignable goods such as clothing and footwear. Therefore, we are able to recover information about the economic well-being of household members. This study used micro-level dataset from the Consumer Expenditure Survey (POF 2008/2009) collected by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Our analysis has focused on traditional families, married couples with zero to three children. Our empirical results reveal the existence of inequality in the allocation of resources inside the household. In particular, we found that in Brazilian families men absorb a higher fraction of family resources than women in all family sizes. We also found that the share of total resources devoted to children increases with the number of children, but the average per child share decreases. In addition, our results suggest that adults’ education level seems to be associated to a larger of his or her fraction of the total expenditure, but is negatively related with resources of her or his partner. Our finding reveal a positive effect of women’s participation in the labor market and her education level with the shares devoted to their children. Furthermore, our results identify a possible heterogeneity in the allocation of resources inside the household across regions. In particular, we found that families located in Southeast and Northeast regions seems to distribute their resources more equally among their members compared to the other regions. In general, our results did not reject the collective model in all estimations. By contrast, we do reject the standard unitary model. Finally, our results are informatively crucial for the design of redistributive policy or social programs, because they provide a broader and more accurate view of the well-being of individuals. More precisely, they could inform policy makers about how to target individuals effectively within households in order to minimize the incidence of inequality as well as provide useful information for Conditional Cash Transfer programs (such as Bolsa- familia) on how to address the transfers more efficiently.

Abstract:
Credit has proven to be a necessary tool for economic development affecting positively the welfare of households and individuals. However, one major area in which rural households lack is access to financial markets including credit. The studies included in this thesis contribute to the access to credit literature and the credit constraint/unconstraint impact on some welfare outcomes. The first empirical study examined farm households' access to credit in rural Malawi. Unlike previous empirical studies, particular attention is given to discouraged borrowers who are mostly ignored in such studies. Using the 2010/2011 household survey data from Malawi the study determines the demographic and socio-economic characteristics that distinguish farm households who need credit, who are the discouraged borrowers and who are rejected applicants. A three-step sequential estimation model following a trivariate probit model with double sample selection was adopted. The findings revealed that there were over 7 times more discouraged borrowers than denied applicants. Women were more likely to be discouraged from applying for credit but, if they applied, they were more likely to be successful in obtaining credit than males. This shows that when examining farm households' access to credit discouraged borrowers should be given special consideration. Capturing discouraged borrowers as also credit constrained, the second empirical study employed a switching model to estimate the impact of credit constraint status on farm productivity for each credit constraint regime. The study further compared the expected production under actual and counterfactual conditions for a household being credit constrained or unconstrained. The findings suggest that a household that is constrained is less productive than a randomly selected household from the sample would but that for the unconstrained household is inconclusive, however, the counterfactual arguments as seen from the analysis shows that being credit unconstrained was beneficial to the increase in productivity. Studies have shown that undeveloped financial markets have been a major contributing factor increasing inequality, especially in developing countries. The third empirical study examined the impact of household credit constraint on the consumption inequality of rural households in Malawi. Factors that explain the within and between credit constrained and unconstrained status of consumption inequality were examined. The General Entropy (GE) Index and the Regression-Based Inequality Decomposition Methods, Field's (2003) and Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition were employed. The findings show that inequality was more prominent within the groups than between them. Also, the size of households and the value of assets were the major contributors to the within-group inequalities for credit constrained and unconstrained households. Further, only the endowment component was important in explaining the consumption inequality gap between the credit constrained and unconstrained households. Adjusting the level of endowments of constrained households to that of the unconstrained households increased their welfare by 15.7 percent.

Este trabalho apresenta os dados de desilgualdade, entre as famílias, da renda, dos rendimentos do trabalho e do consumo de bens não duráveis, a partir dos microdados da PNAD [Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios] (Brasil, de 1976 a 1997) e da POF [Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares] (regiões metropolitanas 1987-88 e 1995-96). Para os dados da PNAD obtêm-se, a cada ano, índices de theíl da renda e da renda do trabalho para grupos de famílias com chefes nascidos ao mesmo ano e com a mesma escolaridade. Para a POF, obtêm-se esses índices para essas duas variáveis e para consumo, para famílias nascidas na mesma década e com a mesma escolaridade. Com os dados da POF, analisa-se a evolução temporal da desigualdade de consumo, a qual tende a ser um indicador bem mais fiel, do que a desigualdade de renda, da disparidade permanente de recursos disponíveis e de bem estar entre famílias. Segundo a hipótese de renda permanente, espera-se que a desigualdade de consumo para uma mesma coorte cresça com o tempo. Caso haja impedimentos à validade dessa hipótese, tais como consumidores prudentes (motivo precaução para a poupança), ou restrição de crédito, a desigualdade de consumo passa a depender da evolução da distribuição de rende e de rendimentos do trabalho, podendo, então, crescer ou não com o tempo.
This thesis presents income, earnings and consumption inequality data among Brazilian families. Those data were generated from two different sources: PNDA’s (National Household Survey) micro data for Brazil from 1976 to 1997 and POF’s (Household Expenditures Survey) micro data for the Brazilian metropolitan areas in 1987/88 and 1995/96. Theil’s indexes for family income and earnings among families headed by individuals with same age and educational level were calculated from the PNAD’s data for each year. The same procedure was used for POF’s data, but measures of consumption inequality were also done. From PNAD’s data, one can identify the part of inequality that is explained by age, cohorts, and time effects. The same sort of hypothesis tha Deaton and Paxson (1994) used to identify those three different effects was applied in this current work. In general, the consumption inequality tends to be a more accurate estimator of the permanent disparity of resources and of well being among families than the income inequality is. Therefore, calculations of consumption inequality were held using POF’s data. According to the permanent income hypothesis (PIH), one should expect that the consumption inequality among families of the same cohort grows as time evolves. In the case that there are some constraints to the PIH, as prudent consumers or credit constraints, the consumption inequality stars depending on the temporal evolution of income and earnings distribution, which allows that consumption inequality does not grow with time.

Abstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine three distributional issues in macroeconomics. First I explore the effects fiscal federalism on economic growth across regions in China. Using the comprehensive official data set of China for 31 regions from 1952 until 1999, I investigate a number of indicators used by the literature to measure federalism and find robust support for only one such measure: the ratio of local total revenue to local tax revenue. Using a difference-in-difference approach and exploiting the two-year gap in the implementation of a tax reform across different regions of China, I also identify a positive relationship between fiscal federalism and regional economic growth. The second paper hypothesizes that an inequitable distribution of income negatively affects the rule of law in resource-rich economies and provides robust evidence in support of this hypothesis. By investigating a data set that contains 193 countries and using econometric methodologies such as the fixed effects estimator and the generalized method of moments estimator, I find that resource-abundance improves the quality of institutions, as long as income and wealth disparity remains below a certain threshold. When inequality moves beyond this threshold, the positive effects of the resource-abundance level on institutions diminish quickly and turn negative eventually. This paper, thus, provides robust evidence about the endogeneity of institutions and the role income and wealth inequality plays in the determination of long-run growth rates. The third paper sets up a dynamic general equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents to investigate the causal channels which run from a concern for international status to long-run economic growth. The simulation results show that the initial distribution of income and wealth play an important role in whether agents gain or lose from globalization.

Abstract:
La notion de besoin caractérise souvent une nécessité biologique, le strict minimum pour se nourrir et se loger. Les besoins ont pourtant souvent été définis comme relatifs et propres à une situation donnée. Les incitations culturelles et sociales tendent à fournir des motivations puissantes aux individus, les conduisant à prendre des décisions parfois à leur détriment au plus ou moins long-terme. Ces choix révèlent certains besoins allant au-delà de la seule survie. Ma thèse a pour objectif de mieux comprendre ces décisions en incluant des composants sociaux ou culturels à la théorie standard de la consommation. Elle contribue à faire le lien entre deux branches importantes de la littérature économique: l'analyse de la demande, et l'économie comportementale/sociale. Les différents chapitres répondent à des questions telles que : pourquoi les personnes souffrant de malnutrition dépensent une part significative de leur budget en biens ostentatoires (premier chapitre) ? Pourquoi des personnes différant seulement par le groupe social auquel elles appartiennent ne consomment pas les mêmes biens (deuxième chapitre) ? Les interactions sociales contribuent-elles à la persistance de goûts locaux (troisième chapitre) ? Et l'intégration commerciale contribue-t-elle à la convergence des goûts (quatrième chapitre) ? Ces sujets requièrent de considérer la signification sociale des choix de consommation, en plus de l'effet du revenu, des prix et de leur valeur fonctionnelle. En d'autres termes, ils requièrent de penser la consommation comme un langage
The notion of need often characterizes the strict minimum amount of food and shelter to survive. Needs have however recurrently been described as essentially relative and context-driven. Indeed, cultural and social incentives tend to provide powerful motivations for individuals to engage in choices sometimes detrimental to their short- or long-term fitness. These choices reveal certain needs which are beyond mere sustenance. My thesis aims at better understanding these decisions by including cultural and social components to a standard theory of consumption. By doing so, it contributes to bridge the gap between two important branches of the literature: demand analysis and behavioral/social economics. The different chapters adress questions such as: Why do malnourished people spend a significant portion of their budget on conspicuous goods (first chapter)? Why do people of different social groups choose to consume different types of goods, given similar prices, income and demographics (second chapter)? Do social interactions contribute to the persistence of localized tastes (third chapter)? And does market integration contribute to taste convergence (fourth chapter)? These topics require to take into account the social meaning of consumption choices, aside from income, prices and functionality. In other words, they require to consider consumption as a language

Abstract:
Diese Dissertation befasst sich mit Arbeitsmarkterfolg und Konsum sozioökonomischer Gruppen. Die ersten zwei Kapitel untersuchen konjunkturelle Auswirkungen auf Arbeitsmärkten für Hoch- und Niedrigqualifizierte. Zunächst wird ein qualifikationsspezifisches Konjunkturmodell mit Suchkosten entworfen. Es zeigt, dass imperfekte Substitution zwischen hoch- und niedrigqualifizierter Arbeit ein Grund für Veränderungen auf den Teilmärkten ist. Gemeinsam mit qualifikationsneutralen und -verzerrten Technologieschocks ist das Modell in der Lage, fallende Beveridge-Kurven zu generieren. Das zweite Kapitel erweitert diesen Ansatz um eine Verbindung zwischen qualifikationsabhängigen Arbeitsmärkten mit endogenen Investitionen in Humankapital. Idiosynkratische Schocks wirken auf den Anteil qualifizierter Arbeit und verändern die Arbeitsmarktdichte auf den Teilmärkten. Neutrale Schocks wirken zweistufig auf die Gesamtarbeitslosigkeit: Zuerst reduzieren sie geringqualifizierte Arbeitslosigkeit, und dann verringern sie rapide hochqualifizierte Arbeitslosigkeit. Eine hohe Substitutions-Elastizität zwischen den beiden Qualifikationen führt zu einer höheren Volatilität und einer höheren Korrelation zwischen Arbeitslosigkeit und freien Stellen. Das dritte Kapitel untersucht die Verbindung zwischen Gruppen-Konsumwachstum und dessen Volatilität, wenn die Agenten heterogen sind und eine Konsumexternalität vorliegt. Die Präferenzen der Haushalte hängen mit der Konsumwachstumsvolatilität insofern zusammen, als diese Vermögensentscheidungen treffen müssen: Die Volatilität verringert sich mit der Geduld und steigt mit dem Wunsch, das Konsumniveau der Vergleichsgruppe zu halten. Darüber hinaus sollten Konsumwachstum und dessen Volatilität positiv korrelieren. Diese letzte Hypothese wird mit Daten aus dem Sozio-oekonomischen Panel und der Einkommens- und Verbrauchsstichprobe überprüft, wobei sich ein U-förmiger Zusammenhang zwischen Konsumwachstum kurzlebiger Güter und dessen Volatilität ergibt.
This dissertation addresses the labor market performance and consumption dynamics of different socioeconomic groups. The first part examines the connection between cyclical variations in skilled and unskilled labor markets. Using a business cycle model with search frictions in skill-specific markets, I find that imperfect substitution between skilled and unskilled labor creates an important channel for variations in the skill-specific markets. Together with a skill-neutral or -biased technology shock, the model generates downward-sloping Beveridge curves in aggregate and skill-specific labor markets. I extend the study to allow for a dynamic link between the skill-specific labor markets. Human capital investment is determined endogenously and idiosyncratic shocks shift the skilled labor share and change tightness in both skilled and unskilled markets. Upon a neutral shock, the decrease of total unemployment is two-staged: Firstly with a reduction in unskilled unemployment, and then with a sharp decline of skilled unemployment when skill substitution dominates. A larger elasticity of substitution between the two types of labor leads to higher volatility of the model variables and higher correlation between unemployment and vacancies. The second part studies the link between group-specific consumption growth and its volatility in a framework of heterogeneous agents, under the assumption of a consumption externality. Household preferences are related to the consumption growth volatility through asset holding decisions: The volatility decreases with groups'' patience, and increases with the eagerness to keep up with the group average. Moreover, consumption growth is expected to be positively related to its volatility. This last hypothesis is tested using household data imputed from the German Socio-Economic Panel and the German Income and Expenditure Survey, where a U-shaped relationship is found between nondurable consumption growth and its volatility.

Abstract:
Tax policy, tax progressivity, and income redistribution from higher to lower income earnings are effec-tive economic measures for reducing inequality. The aim of the paper is to elaborate principles of measurement of consumption tax impact on income inequality or level of consumption tax regressivity. The objectives are to compare methods for evaluation of income and consumption tax impact to income inequality and to find the possible solutions how to measure consumption tax impact to income inequality. As result was developed a specially designed method which can be used for evaluation of consumption tax impact to income inequality, as well as an appropriate measure-ment is recommended.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper argues that economic inequality is one of the major causes of the current economic crises and provides some appropriate leadership strategies for solving them. Inequality is defined as unequal opportunities for economical activities among the people of a nation and among the nations of the world. The major cause of most current economic crises is the income and wealth inequality which are generated mainly by the economic growth. Leaders in the past and currently could not utilize appropriate strategies to solve the inequality problems and consequently the economic crisis grew and reached the current levels. In order to solve the current economic crises it is necessary to eliminate the economic inequality problems and establish fair and sustainable economic growth. The leadership strategies play crucial role for this process. These strategies included in this paper are establishing the local and global shared vision for all; balancing the income and wealth distribution; providing the equal opportunities for education and employment; sharing the production and consumption; and maintaining the fair and sustainable globalization and economic growth.

Full text
Abstract:
In the neoliberal era, financialization of the economies is associated both with large-scale speculative movements in the financial sector and over-indebtedness. The fact that there were significant increases in household indebtedness in the United States before the 2008/09 global financial crisis made the growing indebtedness an outstanding issue that should be examined in terms of its supply and demand-side causes and its distributive consequences. Increasing inequality in income distribution has been an important consideration associated with the increase in household indebtedness. In a sense, the borrowing opportunities enable working households to maintain their consumption and living standards in the short term despite the stagnation in wages and thus increasing inequality, but it does not prevent them from undergoing an unsustainable debt burden. This debt burden creates a feedback effect by deepening the existing inequality. The purpose of this study is to reveal the macro and micro dynamics associated with neoliberal policies that create the supposed relationship between inequality and household indebtedness and to try to interpret the increasing household indebtedness and income inequality in Turkey in the 2000s within this framework.

Abstract:
This paper describes measurements and analysis of global turbulent consumption speeds, ST,GC, of hydrogen/carbon monoxide (H2/CO) mixtures. The turbulent flame properties of such mixtures are of fundamental interest because of their strong stretch sensitivity and of practical interest since they are the primary constituents of syngas fuels. Data are analyzed at mean flow velocities and turbulence intensities of 4 < U0 < 50 m/s and 1 < u′rms/SL,0 < 100, respectively, for H2/CO blends ranging from 30–90% H2 by volume. Data from two sets of experiments are reported. In the first, fuel blends ranging from 30–90% H2 and mixture equivalence ratio, Φ, were adjusted at each fuel composition to have nominally the same un-stretched laminar flame speed, SL,0. In the second set, equivalence ratios were varied at constant H2 levels. The data clearly corroborate results from other studies that show significant sensitivity of ST,GC to fuel composition. For example, at a fixed u′rms, ST,GC of a 90% H2 case (at Φ = 0.48) is a factor of three times larger than the baseline Φ = 0.9, CH4/air mixture that has the same SL,0 value. We also describe physics-based correlations of these data, using leading points concepts and detailed kinetic calculations of their stretch sensitivities. These results are used to develop an inequality for negative Markstein length flames that bounds the turbulent flame speed data and show that the data can be collapsed using the maximum stretched laminar flame speed, SL,max, rather than SL,0.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems of inequality in modern education from the point of view of the world-system approach. The authors establish links between educational inequality and in- 153 equality of societies in the «core – semiperiphery – periphery» structure. The authors attempt to consider the mechanism of the formation of educational inequality in peripheral societies in which social contradictions are most clearly observed from the perspective of the world-system approach. The authors use the theoretical constructions of the world-system approach of I. Wallerstein, S. Amin, F. Cardozo, the ideas of the representatives of the world-system paradigm in comparative education of R.F. Arnove, T. Griffiths, and the concept of a closed circle of inequality in education by R. Flecha. The authors believe that changes in the education system of a society that is integrated into the world-system through the specialization of its economy correspond to those specific transformations that are caused in this society by the innovation spread by the global hegemon. The authors of the article show that the reform of the education system proceeds in the general direction of integrating society into the world system of the division of labor, when the elite forms priority consumption patterns in a peripheralized society (including patterns of knowledge and education), borrowing they from the countries of the core and the hegemon of the world system. The formation of priority patterns leads to the displacement of their own educational culture, the imitation of the masses of the elite and the uneven spread of the patterns. Since full compliance with the priority patterns is unattainable for the majority of the population, its imitations are spreading.
