(Journal of Chemical Biology, February 2009) This text presents physical chemistry through the use of biological and biochemical topics, examples and applications to biochemistry. It lays out the necessary calculus in a step by step fashion for students who are less mathematically inclined,Physical biochemistryElectronic books.Physical biochemistry.572/.43Allen James P313413MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBUALBOOK9910454263603321Biophysical chemistry230742UNINA05300nam 22007693 450 991029704140332120230914144432.03-631-75353-510.3726/b13875(CKB)4100000007276983(OAPEN)1003148(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/37089(MiAaPQ)EBC30686017(Au-PeEL)EBL30686017(EXLCZ)99410000000727698320230911d2011 uy 0enguuuuu---auuuutxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMeasurement of Trends in Wellbeing, Poverty, and Inequality with Case Studies from Bolivia and ColombiaFirst edition.Frankfurt a.M. :Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften,2011.©2011.1 online resource (244 pages)Goettinger Studien zur Entwicklungsoekonomik / Goettingen Studies in Development Economics.3-631-61376-8 Cover -- List of Tables -- List of Figures -- List of Abbreviations -- Introduction and Overview -- 1 Matching Household Surveys with DHS Data to Create Nationally Representative Time Series of Poverty: An Application to Bolivia -- 1.1 Introduction -- 1.2 Approach and Data -- 1.3 Empirical Results -- 1.3.1 Estimation Properties -- 1.3.2 Poverty and Inequality Trends -- 1.3.3 Pro-Poor Growth -- 1.4 Sensitivity Analyses -- 1.4.1 Disaggregated Data on GDP -- 1.4.2 Regional Differentials in Sectoral Participation -- 1.4.3 Mobility Assumption -- 1.5 The Asset Index Approach -- 1.6 Discussion -- 2 Estimating the Stability of Poverty Analysis: Out-of-Sample Predictions in Dynamic Poverty Mapping -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.2 Approach and Data -- 2.3 Results of Out-of-Sample Predictions -- 2.3.1 Regression -- 2.3.2 Method -- 2.3.3 Income -- 2.3.4 Evolution of Poverty and Inequality -- 2.4 Discussion and Outlook -- 2.5 Conclusion -- 3 Measuring Pro-Poor Growth in Non-Income Dimensions -- 3.1 Introduction -- 3.2 The Concept of Pro-Poor Growth -- 3.2.1 Definition of Pro-Poor Growth -- 3.2.2 Multidimensionality of Pro-Poor Growth -- 3.3 Methodology -- 3.3.1 The Growth Incidence Curve -- 3.3.2 The Non-Income Growth Incidence Curve -- 3.3.3 Specification of the Non-Income Indicators -- 3.3.4 Limitations of the Indicators -- 3.4 Empirical Analysis -- 3.4.1 Inequality -- 3.4.2 Pro-Poor Growth -- 3.5 Conclusion -- 4 Pro-Poor Growth in Multidimensional Poverty Indicators: An Application to Colombia -- 4.1 Introduction -- 4.2 Multidimensional Poverty Analysis: Concept and Measurement Issues -- 4.2.1 Foundations of Multidimensional Poverty Analysis -- 4.2.2 Multidimensional Poverty Dynamics: Pro-Poor Growth -- 4.3 Application to Colombia -- 4.3.1 Macroeconomic Trends and Public Policies -- 4.3.2 Data -- 4.3.3 Multidimensional Poverty Indicators.4.3.4 Correlation with Income and Consumption -- 4.3.5 Limitations of the Indicators -- 4.4 Results -- 4.4.1 Trends and Inequality in Multidimensional Indicators -- 4.4.2 Pro-Poor Growth Analysis -- 4.5 Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Appendix A -- Appendix B -- Appendix C.Reducing poverty and increasing wellbeing in developing countries have become central aims of both the national policy-makers as well as the international community. With the Millennium Development Declaration of 2000, the international community has agreed to focus on poverty reduction and the reduction of deprivation in its many dimensions. This book investigates conceptual and empirical issues on the measurement of trends in wellbeing, poverty, and inequality, illustrated for Bolivia and Colombia. The book contributes significantly to filling data gaps by combining existing data in a new way. Furthermore, it presents an important step forward to focus more on multidimensional outcomes of wellbeing rather than on monetary inputs and to develop tools to monitor the progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).Goettinger Studien zur Entwicklungsoekonomik / Goettingen Studies in Development Economics vol. 32SociologyAnthropologyPolitical scienceTheoryEconomicsTheoryDevelopment economicsBoliviaCaseColombiaDemographic and Health Surveys (DHS)EntwicklungsökonomiefromGrosseHousehold SurveysInequalityMeasurementPovertyPoverty AnalysisStudiesTrendsWellbeingwithSociology.Anthropology.Political scienceEconomicsDevelopment economics.338.9864Grosse Melanie881976MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910297041403321Measurement of Trends in Wellbeing, Poverty, and Inequality with Case Studies from Bolivia and Colombia1970152UNINA
