Measurement and determinants of health poverty and richness: evidence from Port...
Simões, Nádia; Crespo, Nuno; Moreira, Sandrina Berthault; Varum, Celeste A.The analysis of health inequalities is a critical topic for health policy. With data for Portugal, we propose a procedure to convert information provided by the official National Health Survey to EuroQol. Based on these data, we make two contributions. First, we extend measures and methods commonly applied in other fields of economic research in order to quantify the phenomena of health poverty, richness, and i...
Gender differences in occupational mobility: evidence from Portugal
Crespo, Nuno; Simões, Nádia; Moreira, Sandrina BerthaultIn this paper we evaluate if gender influences the pattern of upward and downward occupational mobility. With data for Portugal in the period 1998-2009, we find that women have a lower probability of upward mobility and a higher probability of downward mobility. The results also reveal the importance of some other determinant factors, especially education and initial occupation. Additionally, considering an ana...
Individual determinants of self-employment entry: what do we really know?
Simões, Nádia; Moreira, Sandrina Berthault; Crespo, NunoThe analysis of the decision to enter into self-employment is a hot topic in economic literature. Among the elements that most directly influence this decision, individual factors are central. This study produces a comprehensive survey of the impact of these factors, covering both the theoretical arguments and the main conclusions emerging from the empirical studies. We analyze twelve critical determinant facto...

A nossa principal contribuição para a literatura ...
An integrated approach for the measurement of inequality, poverty and richness
Crespo, Nuno; Moreira, Sandrina Berthault; Simões, NádiaWe propose a new and integrated approach to the measurement of inequality in income distribution, poverty, and richness. In the context of the poverty and richness measures, we consider the three dimensions usually analysed – incidence, intensity, and severity. The proposed broad set of indicators is easy to calculate and is based on a neutral income inequality concept. The method also allows an objective inter...
