By employing a dynamic panel system generalized method of moment (Sys-GMM) estimation, this study revealed that PDI exacerbated regional income inequality Even though PDI alongside FDI positive affect regional economic growth.

This paper therefore offers some insights from economic history through investigating the relationship between the Spanish Flu pandemic and income distribution at the residency level in late colonial Java, Indonesia’s most populous province. In addition, we examine recent inequality trends in Java during COVID-19. Our econometric analysis shows that population fatality during pandemic is negatively associated with economic inequality across 14 residencies. This in turn improved income distribution across residencies in the post-pandemic period in late colonial Java. We also find some evidence that estate land for commercial plantation moderated the re-distributive role of the pandemic. Based on the results, we further discuss the key lessons learned from the Spanish flu for contemporary times, proposing possible causes of increasing inequality due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the importance of protecting citizens in productive age groups, especially those on low incomes. Referring to more recent spatial and temporal trends, we conjecture on the existence of an inequality trap in Java. Although this did not follow the historical pattern evident in late colonial Java, COVID-19 may have at least a scarring effect on residency-level inequality in Java. selesema Sepanyol untuk tempoh sementara, mencadangkan kemungkinan punca peningkatan ketidaksamaan akibat pandemik COVID-19 dan kepentingan melindungi rakyat dalam kumpulan umur yang produktif, terutamanya mereka yang berpendapatan rendah.

{"title":"Socioeconomic Mobility of Return Migrants: Evidence from Jordanian Labor Market Surveys","authors":"V. Hlasny","doi":"10.17576/jem-2022-5603-08","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17576/jem-2022-5603-08","url":null,"abstract":"While the consequences of overseas migration for economic inequalities are well-documented, a relatively less researched aspect is well-being and socio-demographic status of those who chose to return to their country of origin. This paper therefore profiles returnee migrants in the Jordanian labor market as well as the causes and consequences of migration for workers’ outcomes using the 2010 and 2016 waves of the Jordanian Labor Market Panel Survey. We study changes in socioeconomic status within and across generations, linking male workers’ current outcomes to those in prior years (across different points in their careers) and to their fathers’ outcomes. We assess inter-temporal social mobility as a function of their prior migration experience, socioeconomic status and demographics. In addition, we present regression evidence of how they fare in the labor market in terms of wage returns. Our data show that migration flows evolve over time, and are driven by socioeconomic and location-specific considerations. More specifically, migration flow from Jordan is geographically highly diffused by regional standards, as Jordanians seek high-skill jobs through formal recruiting channels. Jordanian migrants typically come from urban areas and are more educated. Return migrants are concentrated in higher earning occupations. Altogether this suggests that the labor migration process in Jordan is subject to a selection bias. However, even after controlling for background differences, we find some evidence of beneficial effect of migration for social mobility. Migrants outperform non-migrants not only in terms of current outcomes, but also in their previous occupations as well as those they held 8–10 years earlier, implying that workers’ predispositions may play a role. versus within-occupation difference between non-migrants & return migrants. If we view workers’ occupation and location choice is exogenous, the impact of migration may be limited to the within-occupation earnings gap. Under this view, return-migration status is shown to have a negligible direct effect on wage earnings, of opposite signs across the survey waves. On the other hand, workers’ occupation group, type of employment, and location indicators have significant impacts. This could mean that, rather than affecting wage earnings in any job directly, status as a return migrant has bearing on workers’ opportunities regarding occupation, type of employment, sector and location. These choices may in turn affect workers’ take-home earnings.","PeriodicalId":35929,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ekonomi Malaysia","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86184902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing data from 43 African countries, this study utilized the Pooled Mean Group estimation method of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) for cointegration to analyze the short-run and long-run relationship between health status and economic growth. In assessing the health status, we use life expectancy, infant mortality rates and mortality rate under the age of five measures. The results show that life expectancy in the long term was positively correlated with GDP per capita. In addition, infants and under-five mortality rates for both categories were negatively linked to the degree of long-term economic growth, suggesting a positive correlation between health status and growth. The study contributes to our understanding of the significance of health status as a main ingredient of economic growth in the African continent. Therefore, African policy makers are urged to pay particular attention to their healthcare services and any other factors that can help improve the health of their people.","PeriodicalId":35929,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ekonomi Malaysia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89963697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
