TL;DR: The importance of separating biological or behavioural interventions from the delivery systems required to put them in place is highlighted, and the need to tailor delivery strategies to the stage of health-system development is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the middle class as those living above the median poverty line of developing countries, even if still poor by rich-country standards, even though most of those in this new middle class remain fairly close to poverty.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze how changes in balance sheets of some 2800 banks in 48 countries over 2000-2010 respond to specific macro-prudential policies, and find that measures aimed at borrowers such as caps on debt to income and loan-to-value ratios, and limits on credit growth and foreign currency lending are effective in reducing leverage, asset and noncore to core liabilities growth during boom times.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the problems which arise when available data are restricted to the distribution of factor incomes between groups of families defined by their total income level, and the results obtained required exploration of the alternative concepts and measurements which are possible when individual family data are available.
Abstract: This paper furthers the discussion of income inequality decomposition by focusing attention on the problems which arise in this context when available data are restricted to the distribution of factor incomes between groups of families defined by their total income level. First, it sets out the Rao (1969) decomposition of the Gini coefficient for total income in terms of factor shares and factor concentration ratios. Further decomposition of concentration ratios into rank correlation ratios and factor Ginis is recommended when individual data are available. Second, interpretation of concentration ratios as Gini coefficients is shown to be misleading. An analogue in economic theory is required. The results obtained required exploration of the alternative concepts and measurements which are possible when individual family data are available. In turn, these had to be related to the more limited set of concepts which can be calibrated when available data are taken from a secondary source. Caution is advised in interpreting results based on secondary sources of income inequality by factor components.
