In this work, we explore the relationship between monetary poverty and production combining relatedness theory, graph theory, and regression analysis. We develop two measures at product level that capture short-run and long-run patterns of poverty, respectively. We use the network of related products (or product space) and both metrics to estimate the influence of the productive structure of a country in its current and future levels of poverty. We found that poverty is highly associated with poorly connected nodes in the PS, especially products based on natural resources. We perform a series of regressions with several controls (including human capital, institutions, income, and population) to show the robustness of our measures as predictors of poverty. Finally, by means of some illustrative examples, we show how our measures distinguishes between nuanced cases of countries with similar poverty and production and identify possibilities of improving their current poverty levels.
The existing theorization of development economics and transition economics is probably inadequate and perhaps even flawed to accurately explain and analyze a dual economic system such as that in China. China is a country in the transition of dual st
The rigorous evaluation of anti-poverty programs is key to the fight against global poverty. Traditional evaluation approaches rely heavily on repeated in-person field surveys to measure changes in economic well-being and thus program effects. Howeve
The compact city, as a sustainable concept, is intended to augment the efficiency of urban function. However, previous studies have concentrated more on morphology than on structure. The present study focuses on urban structural elements, i.e., urban
Every nation prioritizes the inclusive economic growth and development of all regions. However, we observe that economic activities are clustered in space, which results in a disparity in per-capita income among different regions. A complexity-based
During the global spread of COVID-19, Japan has been among the top countries to maintain a relatively low number of infections, despite implementing limited institutional interventions. Using a Tokyo Metropolitan dataset, this study investigated how
