    THE WELFARE STATE AND POVERTY IN FINLAND AND SWEDEN FROM THE MID-1960s TO THE MID-1980s (1990)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Notes: Using poverty lines representing the fixed basket of goods and services, the development over time of poverty in Finland and Sweden are compared. In both countries, poverty decreased rapidly between the mid-1960s and the mid-1970s, after which changes have been less dramatic. During the first part of the 1980s poverty continued to decrease in Finland, but increased in Sweden. Comparisons for age-groups showed large reductions in poverty rates among the aged in both countries. Poverty has shifted from the permanent old age poverty towards a more temporary poverty in young adulthood.International comparisons show that in the early 1980s both Finland and Sweden had poverty rates below the average of the affluent Western nations. Furthermore, these comparisons suggest that cross-national variations in poverty rates are partly explained by the size of the welfare state. Also, time series analysis shows that income transfers have taken an increasing number of people out of poverty in both countries.

    THE DEGREE AND PATTERN OF INCOME IMMOBILITY IN SWEDEN (1994)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Review of income and wealth 40 (1994), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1475-4991
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper studies immobility in the distribution of income using Swedish data. Tax data shows immobility in personal income to be a decreasing function of the length of the period over which it is studied and an increasing function of initial age. The results show immobility to be larger among males than among females. Based on a household income survey it is found that when the time period expands from one to two years, the Gini-coefficient of equivalent income per person decreases by five percent. A sample of males indicates that income immobility between generations in Sweden is low.

    Was the Burden of the Deep Swedish Recession Equally Shared? (2002)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    Review of income and wealth 48 (2002), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1475-4991
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The development of income inequality in Sweden up to 1998 is described and analyzed using yearly data focusing on the 1990s when average income fell rapidly and unemployment sky rocketed. Inequality in equivalent disposable income increased during the 1990s as during most of the 1980s. Decomposing total inequality by population groups and studying the earnings of full–time workers shows that while many groups experienced drops in income during the 1990s, some large groups did not. Examples of the latter are pensioners and full–time workers. Young adults and recent immigrants are examples of the former. Decomposing the Gini–coefficient by income source indicates that forces leading to increased inequality during the 1990s differed from those at play during the 1980s.

    TYPES OF INCOME AND INEQUALITY IN CHINA AT THE END OF THE 1980s (1997)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Review of income and wealth 43 (1997), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1475-4991
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Using a nationwide household income survey, different types of income in the People's Republic of China at the end of the 1980s is analysed. The results show that various income types play quite different roles in rural and urban areas. Subsistence income makes up about half of the total income in rural China. Money income makes up about two-thirds of total income in urban China and is the major contributor to inequality in the entire country. In kind income, of which highly subsidized housing is the single most important category, is highly concentrated in urban areas and contributes greatly to inequality.

    RELATIVE POVERTY IN TWO EGALITARIAN SOCIETIES: A COMPARISON BETWEEN TAGANROG, RUSSIA DURING THE SOVIET ERA AND SWEDEN (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Review of income and wealth 42 (1996), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1475-4991
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Relative poverty in urban Russia at the end of the Soviet era (using microdata for the town of Taganrog) is compared to relative poverty in Sweden. The results indicate that the extent of relative poverty was rather similar in the two societies, but also that differences in the structure of poverty existed. In urban Russia characteristics of the household head leading to a high risk of poverty were advanced age, a limited education and being female. Swedish poverty was concentrated to households with a young head.

    Earnings Inequality and the Gender Gap: An Accounting Exercise for Sweden 1975–1991 (1998)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    Labour 12 (1998), S. 0

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Using the Household Income Survey, the earnings of full time, full year workers in Sweden are studied. Earnings inequality as well as the gender earnings gap were found to decrease up to the beginning of the 1980s, when both started to increase. The following questions are also addressed: How much has the changed earnigns gap contributed to changes in earnings inequality? How much should earnings inequality decrease in the case of men and women having the same mean income while keeping inequality within each gender category constant?

    Income effects from labor market training programs in Sweden during the 1980s and 1990s (2004)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of manpower 25 (2004), S. 688-713 
    Details
    ISSN: 0143-7720
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This article estimates a control function estimator with training effect modelled as a random coefficient, partitioned into an observed and unobserved component. The article analyzes the earnings effect of participating in labor market training programs for three cohorts during the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s. It separates the analysis between Swedish and foreign-born to identify differences in their responses to training. The results indicate that there is positive sorting in training: slightly positive effects for both groups but somewhat larger for the foreign-born. Further, consistent with results from several previous studies, the article finds that being young often means no positive pay-off from training, and the same is found for persons with only a primary education. In conflict with earlier studies, the article finds that males have a better pay-off from training than females. Rewards from training are higher for foreign- than for native-born and rewards among the former vary by place of birth and how long they have been in the country.

    How and Why has Poverty in China Changed? A Study Based on Microdata for 1988 and 1995 (2000)

    Notes: Poverty alleviation is on China's political agenda and ambitions are high in a country experiencing rapid economic growth. In a speech at the Central Work Conference on Poverty Eradication on 23 September 1996 Premier Li Peng declared that the country could see an end to poverty in its rural areas by the end of the century. This would mean lifting the country's remaining 65 million poor out of poverty.

    Detection of the response regulator AgrA in the cytosolic fraction of Staphylococcus aureus by monoclonal antibodies (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    FEMS microbiology letters 143 (1996), S. 0

    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The expression of many virulence genes in Staphylococcus aureus is controlled by a regulatory RNA molecule, RNAIII, which is encoded by the agr locus. Transcription of RNAIII requires the activity of the agrA, B, C and D genes, which code for components of a quorum sensing signal transduction system. In this report we describe the overexpression and purification of the response regulator, AgrA. Monoclonal antibodies were produced and used to detect AgrA in the cytosolic fraction of S. aureus cells. Purified AgrA did not bind to the RNAIII promoter region in a DNA mobility shift experiment. This confirms previous results obtained with protein extracts from agr+ and agr− cells.
