Abstract

Abstract Advances in measuring poverty in non-monetary terms enable governments to track social progress on ends, the things that societies value doing and being. Using a national-level regression-based empirical strategy, this research demonstrates the magnitude of previously unmeasured policy effects on material deprivation, a non-monetary indicator of poverty. We apply this methodology to a comparative microdata set covering 32 European countries and estimate the average marginal effect of a small universal income increase on material deprivation. We illustrate the impact of the income transfer from various policy angles commonly used when analyzing the poverty reduction effects of social transfers. We show how impacts vary with characteristics such as country and household deprivation levels and the type of social transfers received. The methodology enables an analysis of the redistributive impact of social transfers on non-monetary social outcomes and is also suitable for other non-monetary social outcomes such as housing deprivation and food insecurity.

减少欧洲的贫困和社会排斥:估计收入对物质剥夺的边际效应

在以非货币方式衡量贫困方面取得的进步，使政府能够追踪社会进步的目的，即社会重视做和存在的事情。本研究采用一种基于国家层面回归的实证策略，证明了以前未测量的政策对物质剥夺的影响程度，物质剥夺是贫困的一个非货币指标。我们将这种方法应用于涵盖32个欧洲国家的比较微观数据集，并估计了普遍收入小幅增加对物质剥夺的平均边际效应。我们从分析社会转移支付的减贫效果时常用的各种政策角度来说明收入转移的影响。我们展示了影响如何随国家和家庭贫困程度以及所接受的社会转移支付类型等特征而变化。该方法能够分析社会转移对非货币性社会结果的再分配影响，也适用于其他非货币性社会结果，如住房剥夺和粮食不安全。

期刊介绍： Originating in the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE), Socio-Economic Review (SER) is part of a broader movement in the social sciences for the rediscovery of the socio-political foundations of the economy. Devoted to the advancement of socio-economics, it deals with the analytical, political and moral questions arising at the intersection between economy and society. Articles in SER explore how the economy is or should be governed by social relations, institutional rules, political decisions, and cultural values. They also consider how the economy in turn affects the society of which it is part, for example by breaking up old institutional forms and giving rise to new ones. The domain of the journal is deliberately broadly conceived, so new variations to its general theme may be discovered and editors can learn from the papers that readers submit. To enhance international dialogue, Socio-Economic Review accepts the submission of translated articles that are simultaneously published in a language other than English. In pursuit of its program, SER is eager to promote interdisciplinary dialogue between sociology, economics, political science and moral philosophy, through both empirical and theoretical work. Empirical papers may be qualitative as well as quantitative, and theoretical papers will not be confined to deductive model-building. Papers suggestive of more generalizable insights into the economy as a domain of social action will be preferred over narrowly specialized work. While firmly committed to the highest standards of scholarly excellence, Socio-Economic Review encourages discussion of the practical and ethical dimensions of economic action, with the intention to contribute to both the advancement of social science and the building of a good economy in a good society.
