Abstract

We study the effect of quality of government on subjective poverty across European countries and regions, taking advantage of recently released data on the quality of public institutions at the regional level, and of information on household subjective poverty. In the analysis we try to separate the effects of quantity and quality of public services on perceived well-being, controlling for the size of the local government and for the receipt of in-kind services by each household of the sample. Results suggest that good governance significantly reduces the probability of being subjectively poor, both over the whole population and also among households that are poor in terms of monetary income. We then estimate the greater cost that a family has to bear in order to achieve a given level of welfare, if it lives in a region with inefficient public institutions. Our measure of this inefficiency cost is around 6% of disposable income.

欧洲政府质量与主观贫困
我们利用最近发布的区域公共机构质量数据和家庭主观贫困信息,研究了欧洲国家和地区政府质量对主观贫困的影响。在分析中,我们试图分离公共服务的数量和质量对感知福祉的影响,控制地方政府的规模和样本中每个家庭接受实物服务的情况。结果表明,良好的治理显著降低了整体人口和货币收入较差的家庭主观上贫穷的可能性。然后,我们估计,如果一个家庭生活在一个公共机构效率低下的地区,那么这个家庭为了达到给定的福利水平所必须承担的更大成本。我们对这种低效率成本的衡量是大约占可支配收入的6%。
