?:abstract
  • "The paper develops novel measures of the extensity, universalism, generosity, targeting and dualization of welfare transfers with Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) data on the distribution of transfers actually received in households. Further, we estimate the effects of these dimensions in multi-level logit models. Using the LIS for 18 rich democracies circa 2004, we examine the effects on poverty in the entire population and among the elderly and the unemployed. Across all, the one dimension that is significantly negative for poverty is extensity - the share of average household income supplied by transfers. Dualization worsens poverty among the unemployed, and targeting is ineffective at reducing poverty for all three groups, but universalism and generosity are never significant. Using the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) for 14 rich democracies in 2006, we examine the effects of these dimensions for three welfare attitudes. Universalism is significantly positive and dualization is significantly negative for the attitude that government should reduce income differences. Though targeting is nearly significantly negative for the attitudes that government should provide a decent standard of living for the old and unemployed, no other dimension is significant. Our results suggest revision for the "paradox of redistribution", which claimed that universalism reduced poverty because it was more popular and targeting worsened poverty because it was unpopular. Instead, we demonstrate that the paradox is that extensity is most effective at reducing poverty, but universalism is most popular. Although there is some evidence that targeting is ineffective and unpopular, there is similar evidence for this pattern with dualization."Die soziodemografischen Daten für Deutschland stammen aus dem ALLBUS 2006.
