SEMILUX Seminars

 

The University, LIS Datacenter and LISER invite you for a remote session of the monthly
seminar on social inequality and public policies, which will be organised ONLINE due to the current
situation of COVID-19.
This seminar aims to integrate the spread-out potential for research on social inequalities that exists in Luxembourg.
 

Professional researchers, PhD students and policy analysts interested in social science research are particularly welcome to attend the seminar, participate in the discussions and present their research. Please contact jason.settels@uni.lu

Abstract: The at-risk-of-poverty rate, defined as the share of individuals whose disposable income is lower than 60% of the national median income, has turned into a key indicator of social inclusion in the EU. However, this indicator relies only on income and ignores household consumption and wealth. As a result, it draws a picture of a country’s living standards that is not fully accurate.The importance of producing social indicators based on the joint distribution of income, consumption and wealth has long been emphasized, yet each dimension is collected through different sources, namely the EU-SILC survey for income, the Household Budget Survey (HBS) for household consumption and Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS) for household wealth. In order to combine these three sources, a statistical matching approach needs to be implemented.In this presentation, we introduce the main principles of statistical matching and present experimental poverty statistics for Luxembourg based on income, consumption and wealth.

In this work I employ HLM analysis using the 2009 ISSP data in order to examine what are the determinants of subjective sense of intergenerational social mobility in 30 countries. I find that job characteristics, namely supervising of other workers and union membership, affect the subjective sense mobility even after controlling for objective measurement of mobility. In contrast, country social context have only little to no effect on subjective mobility.  The results emphasize the importance of understanding intergenerational mobility, beyond traditional class categories or occupational scales.

The analysis is based on an economic framework. Opportunity cost of using parental leave is conceptualized in two different ways: a direct opportunity cost, which equals foregone monthly salary and an opportunity cost measuring forgone promotion opportunities proxied via averaged salary growth. As expected, the results suggest a negative relationship between salary-related earnings and taking parental leave. However, surprisingly, increasing salary 15 growth is associated with higher probability to use parental leave

  • Francesco Andreoli (CEPS/INSTEAD) - Equalization of Opportunity: Definitions, Implementable Conditions and Application to Early-Childhood Policy Evaluation: This paper develops a criterion to assess equalization of opportunity that is consistent with theoretical views of equality of opportunity. We characterize inequality of opportunity as asituation where some groups in society enjoy an illegitimate advantage. In this context, equalization of opportunity requires that the extent of the illegitimate advantage enjoyed by the privileged groups falls. Robustness requires that this judgement be supported by thebroadest class of individual preferences. We formalize this criterion in a decision theoretic framework, and derive an empirical condition for equalization of opportunity based onobserved opportunity distributions. The criterion is used to assess the effectiveness of child care at equalizing opportunity among children, using quantile treatment effects estimates of a major child care reform in Norway.

  • Stefano Bartolini (Università degli Studi di Siena) - Buying alone: how the decreasing American happiness turned into the current economic crisis: This paper attempts to explain the US consumers’ apparent bulimia that was at the origin of the recent global crisis. I first expose a theory of consumerism - the NEG (Negative Endogenous Growth) paradigm - based on the idea that decline of social capital leads individuals to over-spend because they search in consumption a compensation for the emotional distress and the loss of resources caused by scarce social and affective relationships. In turn, the economy growth caused by consumerism feeds the decline of social capital. I then turn to the US to check whether the evidence supports an explanation of American consumerism based on such a reinforcing loop. I show how different characteristics of the American society and economy, which are usually considered separately, are consistently related to American consumerism. Hence, I illustrate some structural features of US capitalism that may contribute to create a difference, in terms of patterns of consumption and participation in market activities, between the U.S. and some other advanced economies (in particular, the major economies of continental Europe). I relate US hyper-consumerism to the decline in subjective well-being and social capital documented in the US over the few decades preceding the crisis.
