Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document contains three papers which give an overview of the major LSMS objectives, efforts, and some problems which may be encountered. The first, Household Surveys as an Instrument for Assessing Living Standards in Developing Countries, considers the use of household surveys as one instrument among many for providing the information needed for planning and evaluating social and economic development. It focuses on an assessment of the areas in which these surveys are the best way of eliciting information and on how to improve use of these surveys. The second paper, Selected Problems in the Implementation of Household Surveys, highlights some of the problem areas, specifically the concept of a household, the measurement of income and expenditures, the concept of employment, the design of surveys, and the tabulation and analysis of results. The third contains the Proceedings of the LSMS Expert Group Meeting, February 25-29, l980.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the impact of six noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCCDs) on Jamaicans' decisions to retire.

Book excerpt: In 1981 I was asked by some DePauw University students to serve as faculty adviser for a group planning to work in rural Haiti during the nearly month-long interim term. I accepted the offer for several reasons. I had enjoyed being the faculty adviser for two previous work projects in Guatemala and Jamaica. I had found the experience was educationally valuable for undergraduates, and I could use it to enhance classroom learning during the semester. In addition, the experience of living and working in a radically different environment was intellectually stimulating for me as a social scientist interested in welfare economics. Finally, because such volunteer projects were rare in the early 1980s, I realized the opportunity should not be passed up. It was a chance to see a part of the world I had heard of but knew little or nothing about except from accounts found in newspaper and magazine articles.

This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2001, staff from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund met with the objective of strengthening collaboration between the two organizations in projects of civil service reform. This strengthened collaboration will have key benefits in ensuring consistency between the conflicting goals of the two organizations, establishing realistic objectives within the reform process, and maintaining a core set of wage and employment data. The principal conclusion arrived at was that World Bank and IMF staff should be engaging in collaboration earlier in the reform process. To guide the collaboration, six foundations were identified. These include: develop a medium-term fiscal framework; foster national ownership by making reforms politically feasible; focus and streamline conditionality; agree on sequencing and timing of reforms; and strengthen data collection. These principals will be tested for effectiveness in several focus countries.

Download or read book The Conceptual Basis of Measures of Household Welfare and Their Implied Survey Data Requirements written by Christiaan Grootaert and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper surveys three alternative approaches to the measurement and analysis of welfare, reflective of the thinking that has been ongoing in the Bank's Living Standards Measurement Study. The first approach advocates the derivation of true indexes of welfare from the preference paramaters estimated in an integrated model of household expenditures deflated by a price index and an adult equivalence scale as a measure of welfare. The third approach consists of the calculation of full income for households. These last two approaces are in a sense shortcut versions of the first, requiring less data. The choice of approach must be based on careful investigation of the trade-off between conceptual rigor and practical constraints on data collection and use. Welfare is a multidimensional concept; attention is given to short-term stochastic variations, asset accumulation, and vulnerability of the household. The paper also discusses the multipurpose household survey needed to gather data and some principles about data presentation.

Download or read book The Living Standards Survey and Price Policy Reform written by Angus Deaton and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is concerned with two related questions, first, what determines coffee and cocoa yields, and second, how should the government determine the farmgate prices for the two crops. Section 1 of the paper is a preliminary analysis of the agricultural data from the Living Standard Survey. Section 2 looks at cocoa and coffee yields and their determinants. It examines the age/yield relationships and the apparent effects of fertilizer and pesticide use on yields. ALso examined are a range of other factors that might play a role in determining yields, for example, prices of other crops, wage rates, household size, and educational levels. Section 3 turns to distributional issues involved in the pricing of cocoa and coffee. Typical budgets for farmers are presented, and their position in the income and consumption distribution descibed. Section 4 concerns itself with the analysis of policy change, and speculates on what might be the effects of moving towards the policy of allowing domestic prices to be determined by world prices. Finally, section 5 summarizes the major policy conclusions and outlines areas where further research is likely to be useful in improving policy advice.
