“…The static results also suggest that, under the current institutional design of welfare benefits with no federal funding or co-ordination whatsoever, regional resources seem to explain the generosity of benefits to a good extent, in line with the evidence also found in Herrero-Alcalde and Tr anchez-Martín (2017). This evidence indicates that, as far as regional welfare benefits are concerned, the Spanish model of "radical federalism" in welfare policies does not promote interregional cohesion, since it allows the richer to be more generous than the poorer regions.…”

“…Spain is a country with a broad heterogeneity in rural areas, and it was one of the OECD countries where the effects of the economic crisis were most adverse. It is also a country with very large territorial differences in access to essential public services (Herrero-Alcalde and Tranchez-Martín, 2017).…”

Multidimensional deprivation in heterogeneous rural areas: Spain after the economic crisis

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We analyse the changes in multidimensional deprivation in very heterogeneous rural areas in Spain during the 2008 economic crisis using multigroup latent class models. Counterfactual distributions are implemented to identify the factors behind the change in deprivation in the different areas. We find that the economic crisis negatively affected direct indicators of the living standards in rural areas. A wide range of differences appears when specific rural areas are studied going beyond the usual dilemma between rural and urban areas. Our results also belie the common stereotype that the greatest incidence of monetary poverty in rural areas is offset by better living conditions.

“…Because several studies have indicated that government spending on social protection programs is mainly determined by socio‐demographic and political factors, including Snyder and Yackovlev () and Herrero‐Alcalde and Tránchez‐Martín (), the pubic transfer equation can be written as follows:

G \overset{0}{true} v_{it} = β_{0} + β_{1} H_{it} + β_{2} P_{it} + u_{it},

where H it is the socio‐demographic characteristics of households such as gender, years of schooling, age, occupations of household head and household members, disabled and ill persons in the household, and non‐human wealth, including the amount of land owned and the amount of land rent. P it denotes political variables, for which country regions serve as a proxy, and u it is an error term that is uncorrelated with ε it in Equation .…”

Private inter‐household transfers and public transfers can change along with changes in social and economic conditions. However, most previous studies have examined their relationship from static perspectives. This study contributes new evidence by investigating the dynamic relationship between public transfers and private inter‐household transfers over the past three decades using a Thailand data set. The results from econometric analysis show that there is no crowding‐out effect of public transfers on private inter‐household transfers for the country as a whole as well as for urban and rural households separately; instead, inter‐household private transfers increase along with public transfers.
