    Multidimensional poverty and deprivation: Using individual versus household data
    (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2023-03-11) Espinoza-Delgado, José; Silber, Jacques; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7050-718X
    Most existing multidimensional poverty indices, like the global MPI, use the household as the unit of identification of the multi-dimensionally poor, meaning that the multidimensional poverty status of the household is equated with the multidimensional poverty status of all its members. Such an approach ignores intra-household inequalities, which are crucial, among other things, for understanding and quantifying child poverty and gender inequality. Consequently, in this chapter, we stress that one cannot be indifferent to how deprivations are distributed among household members and that there are good reasons to think about moving from the household to the individual when analyzing and estimating multidimensional poverty, especially if the goal is to adequately monitor progress towards meeting Target 1.2 and Goal 5 of the SDGs.

    La política de cooperación española con Mozambique y Angola
    (Museo de Historia del Movimiento Popular Polaco : Instituto de Estudios Ibéricos e Iberoamericanos de la Universidad de Varsovia, 2012) Muñoz Martínez, César; Martínez Boyé, Ángeles
    La situación actual de África Subsahariana plantea importantes retos y oportunidades de acción para la política exterior española. Junto a la persistencia de problemas como la pobreza, el sida o las amenazas contra la paz y la seguridad; el avance de los sistemas democráticos y de las dinámicas de integración regional se configuran como aspectos fundamentales para impulsar el progreso del continente africano. En este documento analizamos las relaciones bilaterales existentes entre España y Angola y Mozambique, prestando especial atención a los campos científico, financiero y comercial integrados en la política española de cooperación al desarrollo.

    Using Rippin’s Approach to Estimate Multi-Dimensional Poverty in Central America
    (Taylor & Francis, 2021) Silber, Jacques; Espinoza-Delgado, José
    The removal of poverty remains one of the most important aims of economic policy in many countries of the world; it continues to be one of the greatest global challenges and is an essential ‘requirement for sustainable development’. In line with the literature, the individual multi-dimensional poverty function must not only identify the poor but also capture the intensity of the multi-dimensional poverty experience. The inclusion of employment as a dimension is based on its instrumental significance as well as on its intrinsic importance. Water and sanitation are also of considerable instrumental and intrinsic importance. The Alkire and Foster (AF) methodology, as the mainstream approach to the measurement of multi-dimensional poverty in the developing world, is insensitive to inequality among the poor. It appears that multi-dimensional poverty among adults is highest in Guatemala and Nicaragua and lowest in Costa Rica.

    Wealth inequality in Catalonia, 1400-1800. Sources, data and a case study
    (Firenze University Press, 2020) García Montero, Héctor; Nigro, Giampiero
    This work is part of the research carried out within the EINITE and SMITE projects for the case of Catalonia. In this chapter, firstly, a brief state of the art of research carried out in recent years on the evolution of economic inequality in the pre-industrial world is traced. Subsequently, through the previously existing literature and the study of the empirical evidence compiled for this work, the characteristics of the fiscal sources available for some Catalan localities, i.e. the books of estimes, vàlues or manifests, and the sample of localities studied in the EINITE/SMITE projects are described in detail. The second part of the work focuses on the analysis of a case study, the town of Balaguer.
