Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies the trend in household income uncertainty using a novel approach that measures income uncertainty as the variance of forecast errors at each future horizon separately without imposing parametric restrictions on the underlying income shocks. Household income uncertainty has risen significantly and persistently since the early 1970s. Their measure of near-future uncertainty in total family non-capital income rose 40% between 1971 and 2002. This rising uncertainty is likely due to the increase in variances of both persistent and transitory income shocks. The increase was most pronounced among single-earner households and high-income households. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.
Book Synopsis Family Economic Insecurity in the United States by : Elisabeth Sara Jacobs
Download or read book Family Economic Insecurity in the United States written by Elisabeth Sara Jacobs and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates family economic insecurity in the United States, with a particular focus on the risk of a large drop in income. I ask three central questions. First, how much economic insecurity does the American family face, and how has that insecurity changed over time? Second, what explains over-time shifts in economic risk? Third, how do families perceive and manage economic risk? I address the first two questions using the Panel Study on Income Dynamics, a nationally-representative dataset spanning from 1969 to 2004. I address the third question through the analysis of in-depth interviews with a sample of employees facing an elevated risk of job loss. I find that family economic insecurity is high, and has risen over the last three decades. Income volatility has increased for all income and education groups, but the risk of a negative economic shock has grown particularly steeply for college-educated households. Neither the increased in married women's labor force participation nor the increase in divorce can explain much of the secular trend in income volatility. Individuals at risk of a large income shock are optimistic about their ability to weather hard times, but simultaneously acknowledge that job loss has the potential to send their family into a financial tailspin. Many rely on education as a coping mechanism, framing a return to school as a way to create opportunity in the face of insecurity. Dual- earner families strive to create a balance between workers, with one pursuing employment with solid benefits and security in exchange for a low earnings ceiling and the other engaged in high-risk, high-reward employment. Economic shocks to prime-age working adults have the potential to reverberate up and down the generational ladder due to this group's role as a financial support for both adult children and aging parents. Policy implications are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timeless classic of economic theory that remains fascinating and pertinent today, this is Frank Knight's famous explanation of why perfect competition cannot eliminate profits, the important differences between "risk" and "uncertainty," and the vital role of the entrepreneur in profitmaking. Based on Knight's PhD dissertation, this 1921 work, balancing theory with fact to come to stunning insights, is a distinct pleasure to read. FRANK H.

A fabulous composition of papers by the authors who really count! Ernst von Weizsäcker, The Club of Rome The authors present a refreshing perspective on the possibilities of human progress in harmony with nature, without the need for economic growth to secure long term human welfare and wise use of nature's services. Extremely relevant. Peter May, Past President, International Society for Ecological Economics and Professor, UFRRJ, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil The book goes well beyond the Green Economy, offering arguments and blueprints for a complete makeover of the current economic system. With multi- and interdisciplinary contributions ranging from moderately to fundamentally critical of current economics, it raises fundamental questions of value and power, draws on a wide range of theories, opens the eyes for the historical processes that brought about the current crises and demonstrates the value of ecological, but also classical economic thinking to their solution. If better politics require better theories, this is a must read for academics and decision makers in the time of climate crisis.

This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-faceted account of Egyptian economic development by nineteen internationally recognized authorities and the critical challenges the economy is likely to face in the next twenty years The Egyptian Economy in the Twenty-first Century addresses the question of why Egypt, despite possessing a plethora of assets—such as a fertile agriculture, a strategic geographic location, oil and gas deposits, innumerable tourist sites, a labor force prized by regional countries, and a diaspora that remits large amounts of funds—has seldom performed to its economic potential during the last sixty years. Indeed, economic weakness created political weakness, and often exposed the country to foreign diktats. What should the country do to change this state of affairs? Nineteen internationally recognized authorities on the Egyptian economy discuss the critical challenges that the Egyptian economy is likely to face in the next two to three decades, challenges which must be overcome in order to improve the life of Egypt’s citizens and to protect the country from external pressures. Their analyses cover population and employment; development strategies; principal macroeconomic issues; development of a digital economy; fiscal and monetary matters; the external sector; poverty and income distribution; the enterprise structure; higher education; water availability; urbanization; institutional performance; and many others.

Book Synopsis Causes and Consequences of Income Inequality by : Ms.Era Dabla-Norris
Download or read book Causes and Consequences of Income Inequality written by Ms.Era Dabla-Norris and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the extent of income inequality from a global perspective, its drivers, and what to do about it. The drivers of inequality vary widely amongst countries, with some common drivers being the skill premium associated with technical change and globalization, weakening protection for labor, and lack of financial inclusion in developing countries. We find that increasing the income share of the poor and the middle class actually increases growth while a rising income share of the top 20 percent results in lower growth—that is, when the rich get richer, benefits do not trickle down. This suggests that policies need to be country specific but should focus on raising the income share of the poor, and ensuring there is no hollowing out of the middle class. To tackle inequality, financial inclusion is imperative in emerging and developing countries while in advanced economies, policies should focus on raising human capital and skills and making tax systems more progressive.
