TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply a new decomposition technique to the study of variations in poverty across the regions of Russia and find that the deviation in regional poverty levels from the all-Russia average can be attributed to three proximate sources: per capita income, inequality, and local prices.
Abstract: The paper applies a new decomposition technique to the study of variations in poverty across the regions of Russia. The procedure, which is based on the Shapley value in cooperative game theory, allows the deviation in regional poverty levels from the all-Russia average to be attributed to three proximate sources: per capita income, inequality, and local prices. Contrary to expectation, regional poverty variations turn out to be due more to differences in inequality across regions than to differences in real income per capita. However, when real income per capita is split into nominal income and price components, differences in nominal incomes emerge as more important than either inequality or price effects for the majority of regions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate potential impacts using a dynamic economywide model linked to an energy sector model including a detailed evaluation of border carbon adjustments and show that a phased-in carbon tax of US$30 per ton of CO2 can achieve national emissions reductions targets set for 2025.

TL;DR: The authors conducted a systematic review to identify policy interventions that improve education quality and student learning in developing countries, focusing on three main drivers of change of education quality: (1) supply-side capability interventions that operate through the provision of physical and human resources, and learning materials; (2) policies that through incentives seek to influence behaviour and intertemporal preferences of teachers, households, and students; (3) bottom-up and top-down participatory and community management interventions, which operate through decentralisation reforms, knowledge diffusion, and increased community participation in the management of education systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of financial inclusion on energy poverty using multidimensional measures and found that a standard deviation increase in financial inclusion is associated with a decrease in household energy poverty between 1.380 and 1.556 standard deviations.
