“…For the sake of clarity, we only report here the lower bound, the central, and the upper bound of the 27 possible estimates. 10 For an explanation of the GIDD and an application on the ex ante changes in global income distribution, see Bussolo et al (2007).…”

This article uses a sample of 72 developing countries to estimate the change in the cost of alleviating urban poverty brought about by the recent increase in food prices. This cost is approximated by the change in the poverty deficit (PD), that is, the variation in financial resources required to eliminate poverty under perfect targeting. The results show that, for most countries, the cost represents less than 0.2% of gross domestic product. However, in the most severely affected, it may exceed 3%. In all countries, the change in the PD is mostly due to the negative real income effect of those households that were poor before the price shock, while the cost attributable to new households falling into poverty is negligible. Thus, in countries where transfer mechanisms with effective targeting already exist, the most cost-effective strategy would be to scale up such programs rather than designing tools to identify the new poor.JEL classification: D12, I32

“…Yet, the UNWTO's (2010) forecast for 1.6 billion international tourists by 2020 is founded mainly on expectations of continued rapid growth in Asia. China and India, in particular, are expected by 2020 to have travel-hungry middle classes numbering in the hundreds of millions (Bussolo et al 2007;Harris 2005).…”

Award programmes facilitate recognition and reward of innovative practices creating industry benchmarks for world-class standards. Growing recognition and adoption of sustainability practices and corporate social responsibility charters amongst hotels internationally is nudging the sustainability paradigm. However, comprehensive empirical data, detailing and describing these practices are under examination. This paper examines sustainable hotel practices of AsiaPacific hotels utilizing an exploratory inductive content analysis of self-reported award submissions. The submissions of 64 hotels to the Hotel Investment Conference Asia Pacific Sustainable (HICAP) Hotel Award scheme over 2009 and 2010 were analyzed. Three primary categories of sustainability practices were identified: operations-related, community engagement and design-related initiatives. A model of sustainable hotel practices is then proposed, which will assist hotel managers in benchmarking their organization to achieve higher levels of sustainability.

“…Ravallion (2010) also focused on the middle class in developing countries, defining them as the population lying between the median poverty line of developing countries and the poverty line of the United States, which is the upper bound of those being middle class, i.e., lying between $2 and approximately $26.5 (2005 PPP $) per person per day. Finally, Bussolo, De Hoyos, Medvedev, and van der Mensbrugghe (2007); and Bussolo, De Hoyos, and Medvedev (2009) Birdsall (2007) uses a $10 (2005 PPP $) per person per day line to identify the middle class and simply requires that they make less than 90% of the income distribution in a given country, thus creating a middle class definition that is absolute at the bottom end and relative at the upper end of the distribution.…”
