TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tried to assess the macroeconomic effects of the Community Support Framework (CSF) for the period 1994-1999 in the peripheral countries of the European Union (Ireland, Portugal and Spain) using the HERMIN model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored both methodological and substantive aspects of this issue using data for 14 EU countries drawn from the European Community Household Panel Survey 1996, and concluded that the distributive effects of housing are important for poverty measurement but need to be better understood within each country before attempting cross-country analysis.
Abstract: Previous research has suggested that hidden income arising from home ownership has important consequences for poverty measurement as it tends to favour certain low income groups, especially the elderly, and to have a moderating effect on poverty rates in countries with high levels of home ownership. This article explores both methodological and substantive aspects of this issue using data for 14 EU countries drawn from the European Community Household Panel Survey 1996. Methodologically, in the absence of data needed to estimate hidden income from housing directly, it explores the validity of using a housing expenditures approach to take account of the income effects of housing in a poverty measurement context. Substantively, it examines whether poverty measured in this way in the 14 countries in the data set differs in expected directions from poverty as conventionally measured. The substantive effects are found to be modest overall and to conform only partially to expectations. Certain methodological problems raise a question mark over these findings, such as variation across countries in the degree to which mortgage payments capture the cost of house purchase for home owners. The article concludes that the distributive effects of housing are important for poverty measurement but need to be better understood within each country before attempting cross-country analysis.

TL;DR: The determinants of GP visiting in Ireland are examined, using panel data from the Living in Ireland Survey from 1995-2001, to estimate dynamic models of GP utilisation and decompose the observed variation into components attributable to observed individual characteristics, unobserved individual heterogeneity and state dependence.
Abstract: This paper examines the determinants of GP visiting in Ireland, using panel data from the Living in Ireland Survey from 1995-2001. While cross-sectional studies provide important information on GP visiting patterns at a certain point in time, with panel data we can also control for unobserved individual heterogeneity, as well as identify whether it is the same individuals who consistently visit their GP year on year, or whether there is more mobility in visiting. We therefore estimate dynamic models of GP utilisation, and attempt to decompose the observed variation in GP visiting into components attributable to observed individual characteristics, unobserved individual heterogeneity and state dependence.
