This volume contains papers from the Society for the Study of
Economic Inequality's third meeting held in Buenos Aries,
Argentina, in July 2009. The first five papers focus on a number of
Latin American countries, on the understudied topics of poverty and
inequality in these areas. Specific issues covered by these papers
include multidimensional poverty, equity effects of school
drop-outs, and the role of transfer programs in reducing Latin
American poverty. Additional papers provide research from further
afield including China and France and cover topics such as:
relative deprivation; taxation and inequality; mobility dominance;
polarization; estimation of child costs; nutritional inequality;
and, transportation inequalities. The volume includes work by such
well-known authors as Jacques Silber, Jean-Yves Duclos, and Udo
Ebert. This book is the 18th Volume in the notable Research on
Economic Equality series which offers fresh theoretical and
methodological insights into the key issues in the field of
economic inequality, showcasing highly topical work from both
senior researchers and emerging scholars.
