Abstract

ABSTRACT We use a dynamic correlated random effects probit model with endogenous initial conditions for three poverty measures to assess child poverty persistence after controlling for structural household characteristics and economic variables. The empirical analysis is based on the 2015–2018 longitudinal sample of the Survey of Income and Living Conditions for Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia. Results show strong poverty persistence regardless of poverty measure, with much stronger effects observed for Croatia and Serbia than for Slovenia. Social transfers have more than twice the capacity to lift children out of poverty in Slovenia compared to the other two countries.

克罗地亚、塞尔维亚和斯洛文尼亚的儿童贫困：贫困持续存在和社会转移的作用

在控制了结构性家庭特征和经济变量后，我们使用一个具有内生初始条件的动态相关随机效应probit模型来评估三种贫困措施的儿童贫困持续性。实证分析基于2015-2018年斯洛文尼亚、克罗地亚和塞尔维亚收入和生活条件调查的纵向样本。结果显示，无论采取何种贫困措施，贫困都持续存在，克罗地亚和塞尔维亚的影响要比斯洛文尼亚强得多。与其他两个国家相比，社会转移支付使斯洛文尼亚儿童摆脱贫困的能力是后者的两倍多。
