TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse empirically whether the level of institutional quality influences how financial development affects poverty for a sample of developing countries covering the period from 1984 to 2012, and find that the pro-poor impact of financial development decreases as the quality of institutions rises.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of the role of political structures and the balance of power between the executive and the legislature on forecasting errors in 13 European Union countries by using annual forecast vintages (1999-2013) from Stability and Convergence Programmes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the demand factors, market forces and institutional drivers of the spatial distribution of residential healthcare for the elderly in Italy, using a fine-grained approach that considers specific regional and age-related elements and the market environment, which can reduce or increase the pressure on regional governments to provide formal assistance.

TL;DR: In this article, a constant increase in the share of aid-financed global public goods and a shift towards weighted-sum and weakest-link global goods are observed, and a certain complementarity in the provision of global goods plays a role, especially in European countries and Japan, partially easing the prognosis for the collective action problems related to global goods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare different aggregates of aid financed global public goods and detect the presence of the substitution effect between these aggregates and traditional aid that was found by former studies for earlier periods.
