The World Bank's approach to estimating the extent, distribution and trend of global income poverty is neither meaningful nor reliable. Bank uses an arbitrary international line that not adequately anchored in any specification real requirements human beings. Moreover, it employs a concept purchasing power equivalence well defined appropriate for assessment. These difficulties are inherent money-metric cannot be credibly overcome without dispensing with this altogether. In addition,...

We examine the behavior of charged pions in neutron-rich matter using heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. This study is motivated by prospect that pions, or pionlike excitations, may be relevant encountered core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers. find, as previously expected, ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ mass increases with density precludes $s$-wave condensation at ${n}_{B}\ensuremath{\lesssim}{n}_{\mathrm{sat}}$, where...
Abstract We live increasingly in a ‘risk society’, Characterized by the multiplication and increasing unpredictability of risks, as well our enhanced consciousness them. Claims on part expert bureaucracies to possess superior abilities anticipate managerisks are suspect public perceptions. This suspicion is legitimate. The history economics revealing this respect. triumph within econmics notion ‘risk’ (as defined frank Knight), or vision future subject probabilistic analysis, over...
Abstract We introduce two separate datasets [The Global Consumption Dataset (GCD) and The Income (GID)] making possible an unprecedented portrait of consumption income persons over time, within across countries, around the world. current benchmark version dataset presents estimates monthly real for every percentile population (a “consumption/income profile”) more than 160 countries half a century (1960–2015). describe construction demonstrate uses by presenting some sample results concerning...

The next generation of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors will observe coalescences black holes and neutron stars throughout the cosmos, thousands them with exceptional fidelity. Science Book is result a 3-year effort to study science capabilities networks detectors. Such would make it possible address unsolved problems in numerous areas physics astronomy, from Cosmology Beyond Standard Model particle physics, how they could provide insights into workings strongly gravitating systems,...
We analyze the growth impact of official development assistance to developing countries.Our approach is different from that previous studies in two major ways. First, we disentangle effects kinds aid: developmental and non-developmental. Second,our specifications allow for effect aid on economic occur over long periods.Our results indicate promotes long-run growth. The significant, large robust estimation techniques.
The estimates of the extent, distribution and trend global income poverty provided in World Bank's Development Reports for 1990 2000/01 are neither meaningful nor reliable. Bank uses an arbitrary international line unrelated to any clear conception what is. It employs a misleading inaccurate measure purchasing power equivalence that vitiates inter-temporal comparisons poverty. extrapolates incorrectly from limited data thereby creates appearance precision masks high probable error its...

Few volumes in contemporary economics have been more lauded, and summarised a zeitgeist, as much Abhijit Banerjee Esther Duflo’s Poor Economics.1 The book has received prominent international prizes (The Financial Times Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year, for example), widely read, reviewed, praised, including by leading economists philanthropists.2 It is capstone authors’ work, representing their effort to project broad readership perspective on development that they communicated...
This paper examines the phenomenon of real-income stagnation (in which growth is uninterruptedly negligible or negative for a sizable sequence years). We analyse data four decades from large cross-section countries. Real income conceptually distinct low average and other features that have been previously considered. find real has affected significant number countries (103 out 168), resulted in substantial loss. Countries suffered spells were more likely to be poor, Latin America sub-Saharan...
The World Bank’s global poverty estimates suffer from deep-seated problems arising a single source, the lack of standard for identifying who is poor and not that consistent meaningful. new choice an international line $1.90 (2011 PPP) does in any way resolve these problems. We present alternate global, regional national based on reasoning as to what own method, consistently applied, would entail. These show increase absolute number since 1980 or 1990 certain choices line. However, we...
We evaluate the claim that world consumption poverty has fallen since 1990 in light of alternative assumptions about extent initial and rate subsequent reduction China, India, rest developing world. use two indicators: aggregate headcount ratio, consider widely‐used international lines ($1/day $2/day). conclude that, because uncertainties relation to trend world, global may or not have increased. The estimated increase decrease is critically dependent on made. Our conclusions highlight...

Abstract Advocates or analysts of human rights and mainstream economists can find it difficult to communicate, let alone arrive at agreement—when they communicate all. Why is their dialogue non‐existent vexed? This paper identifies three deep‐seated conceptual reasons. An improved lead better foundations in both disciplines enable them guide action.
