“…The authors consider this to be evidence of stigma effects because individual unemployment is less likely to be interpreted as a negative signal if unemployment is high and vice versa (see also Omori 1997). Ayllón (2013) reports similar results but also finds that if unemployment rates are high, discouragement effects counterbalance the lower stigma effect to some extent.…”

Studies show that the unemployed face serious disadvantages in the labour market and that the social stigma of unemployment is one explanation. In this paper, we focus on the unemployed's expectations of being stigmatized (stigma consciousness) and the consequences of such negative expectations on job search attitudes and behaviour. Using data from the panel study "Labour Market and Social Security" (PASS), we find that the unemployed with high stigma consciousness suffer from reduced well-being and health. Regarding job search, the stigmatized unemployed are more likely to expect that their chances of re-employment are low, but in contrast, they are more likely to place a high value on becoming re-employed. Instead of becoming discouraged and passive, we find that stigmatized unemployed individuals increase their job search effort compared to other unemployed individuals. However, despite their higher job search effort, the stigma-conscious unemployed do not have better re-employment chances.

“…It is useful to distinguish between these asymmetric reasons for escape and descent as they suggest different policy implications. According to Ayllón (), TSD requires “income‐support policies”—for example, direct transfers of income or consumption credits to the least well‐off. In comparison, ending the deprivation spinning off from individual (observed and unobserved) heterogeneity calls for enhancing households’ endowments such as improved access to financial credits, better education, skill‐training, or nutrition.…”

“…As Cappellari and Jenkins () and Ayllón (), I calculated the ASD of poverty as the difference of the poverty persistence probability (being poor in

t - 1

and t ) and the entry probability (moving from nonpoverty at

t - 1

to poverty at t ):

\begin{matrix} true \\ right ASD & = & left \frac{\sum_{i \in (y_{i (t - 1)} = 1)} prefixPr ((), y_{i t} = 1 | y_{i false(t - 1 false)} = 1)}{\sum_{i} y_{i (t - 1)}} \\ left - \frac{\sum_{i \in ((), y_{i false(t - 1 false)} = 0)} Pr (y_{i t} = 1 false| y_{i (t - 1)} = 0)}{\sum_{i} ((), 1 - y_{i false(t - 1 false)})} . \end{matrix}

Asset‐based poverty transition and persistence in rural China

This article tests empirically for transition and persistence of poverty in rural China based on the theory of asset-based poverty traps. It proposes an analytical framework mitigating the problem of endogenous switching between accumulation regimes and disentangling the true state-dependence of poverty. Specifically, a dynamic asset threshold separating households into downward and upward mobility regimes is identified after taking households' unobserved characteristics and observed regime-differentiated accumulation strategies into account. The static analysis identifies causality running from settling into a downward mobility regime to the probability of poverty measured by consumption. Furthermore, allowing for endogenous initial poverty status, the dynamic analysis finds strong true state-dependence in poverty. Households with the same characteristics are nearly twice as likely to be poor as if they had not previously switched to the accumulation regime. Assets below the dynamic threshold serve as a conduit through which poverty propagates itself. Factors that help to break this vicious circle are identified.JEL classifications: I32, O12, O53

La actual crisis económica está poniendo de manifiesto cambios sociales y estructurales, que conllevan un empeoramiento de los niveles de pobreza y de bienestar de la población. En esta línea, el objetivo de este trabajo es profundizar en el conocimiento de la situación de pobreza en el municipio de Jerez de la Frontera, para contribuir a un mejor diseño y aplicación de medidas y actuaciones de políticas socioeconómicas generales y específicas con mayor garantía de éxito. Para ello, se ha aplicado una metodología de análisis por edad, sexo, sectores productivos y otras características, basada en encuestas y entrevistas. Entre las principales conclusiones de este trabajo y como una de sus contribuciones, hay que señalar la aparición de un nuevo tipo de pobreza transitoria, proveniente del sector de la construcción, estableciéndose un nuevo escenario derivado del impacto de la crisis, el cual requiere de una respuesta específica.
