Abstract

In this paper, after reviewing the existing modeling approaches for reverse indicators, we opt for the use of the inverted Benefit-of-the-doubt (IBoD) model when all the considered indicators are reverse, as is the case with composite indicators related to social inclusion. Using EU data for 2014 we provide comparative empirical results using the IBoD model and three data transformations employed by previous studies. We also provide a thorough analysis of the performance of EU countries during the period 2011–2020 in terms of the composite indicator obtained from the IBoD model. Our empirical results indicate that relative performance across the EU has neither improved nor deteriorated and there is evidence supporting local instead of global convergence in social inclusion with certain groups of countries.

基于逆BoD模型的欧盟社会包容综合指标

在本文中，在回顾了现有的反向指标建模方法之后，我们选择在所有考虑的指标都是反向的情况下使用反向怀疑受益(IBoD)模型，与社会包容相关的复合指标一样。使用2014年欧盟数据，我们使用IBoD模型和之前研究中使用的三种数据转换提供了比较的实证结果。我们还根据IBoD模型获得的综合指标，对欧盟国家在2011-2020年期间的表现进行了全面分析。我们的实证结果表明，整个欧盟的相对表现既没有改善也没有恶化，并且有证据支持某些国家群体在社会包容方面的本地趋同，而不是全球趋同。

期刊介绍： Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry. Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution. Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
