Mixed Income

Much contemporary policy seeking to address the problems of urban poverty and the failures of public housing focuses on deconcentrating poverty through the relocation of public housing residents to less-poor neighborhoods or by replacing large public housing complexes with mixed-income developments. Lying behind these efforts is a set of generally integrationist goals, aiming to remove public housing residents from contexts of isolation and concentrated disadvantage and settle them in safer, healthier, and more supportive environments that better connect them to resources, relationships, and opportunities. Although some of the goals of these efforts are being met, the broader integrationist goals are proving elusive. Focusing on the mixed-income component of Chicago’s Plan for Transformation—the most ambitious effort to remake public housing in the country—this article argues that a range of institutional actors (including developers, property management, community-based organizations, and the housing authority) and organizational behaviors (around design, service provision, intervention, deliberation, and representation) shape dynamics that reproduce exclusion and work against the integrationist goals of these policies.

This study makes the case that economic uncertainties—i.e., the extent to which economies face systemic uncertainties—need to be considered another dimension of human development because they render development vulnerable, diminish social welfare, and constrain human capabilities. We propose a methodology for adjusting the human development index (HDI) for economic uncertainties, using the time variability of income changes as a proxy. We construct an adjusted index associated with the income component for the 2011 HDI. Our analysis indicates that such an index contains additional information. The percentage loss in the income component of the HDI seems to reflect the variability in economic indicators arising from the political and economic tribulations experienced by each country. In Pakistan’s case, the results of a timeseries analysis of the percentage loss from the uncertainty adjustment appear to closely trace the country’s political and economic upheavals.

Economic Well Being

This paper uses the Propensity Score Matching method (PSM) to determine the criteria of eligibility for production and income subsidies and the Difference-in-Difference method (DID) to evaluate the impact of these policies on households’ economic well-being in Vietnam. The empirical results indicate that though these policies have not contributed to a clear economic well-being improvement of the participating households, their impacts tend to move in a positive direction. It should be noted that though these policies do not make the income/expenditure of the participating households increase, they help increase the income component from agricultural production significantly, especially for the group receiving production subsidies, and at the same time increase spending on durable goods and health care services in comparison with nonparticipating households.

Weber Model

The article presents quantitative characteristics of the prevalence and volumes of hidden household incomes. An econometric estimate of the prevalence of hidden incomes was carried out on the panel data of the “Russian Monitoring of the Economic Situation and Health of the Population of the Higher School of Economics” (periods from 2000 to 2017), the size of the hidden income component was obtained on the basis of the Pissarides-Weber model. Estimates of the share of hidden income households and an estimate of the share of hidden incomes revealed two different trends: their predominant distribution among residents of villages and urban-type settlements and the larger size of these incomes among households of regional centers.

Over Time

The article discusses François Quesnay’s dynamics of capital accumulation. First, we analyze the notion of bon prix to highlight the central analytical role played by profits in Quesnay’s growth dynamics. This leads us to challenge Ronald Meek’s interpretation ([1962] 2003) and to (re)propose Peter Groenewegen’s suggestion (1974 and 1983) that profits are not included in the net product for policy reasons. We also show that profits display features resembling a stable income component such as supervision wages (see Marx [1863] 1963). Second, we contest Steven Pressman’s argument (1994, pp. 143–154) that Quesnay missed the distinction between nominal and real variables by modeling how the farmers’ monetary interest (and profit) initiates the capital accumulation process (see Vaggi 1985), which over time leads to an increase of the (physical) surplus rate and thus of the net product in real terms.
