Item Restricted Transient, chronic, and intergenerational poverty: evidence from the Cebu longitudinal health and nutrition survey(2010-11) Panganiban, Marian Angelica K.; Kraft, Aleli D.This paper examines poverty dynamics in the Philippines by decomposing poverty into its transient and chronic components using censored fluctuation approaches. Findings reveal that aggregate squared poverty gap is mostly transient Using censored quantile regression, the paper then identifies the following as significant correlates of transient poverty: location of residence, household dependency burden, mother's age, and work in the farming sector. Transient poverty is also linked with single-person headed households. Meanwhile, significant correlates of chronic poverty include work in the farming sector and number of years of mother's education Households with heads who are regular wage earners and who are contractual workers experience more chronic poverty than households with heads who are self-employed. Once we extend our model to account for intergenerational poverty, we find that estimated elasticity between parent and child's income ranges from 0.165 to 0.197 suggesting that moderate income rigidity exists between two generations.Item Restricted Housing as a building block of welfare: an impact assessment of gawad kalinga in Laura(2008-03) Baluyot, Brylle Lewylle S.; Panganiban, Marian Angelica K.This paper evaluates the overall impact of Gawad Kalinga, a private sector development initiative, on subjective welfare using data collected through a census of 51 of households in the Laura community, a Gawad Kalinga urban village located in Quezon City. It uses the random effects probit estimation and the random effects generalized least squares regression to investigate changes in welfare assessment that take place through Gawad Kalinga. We provide empirical evidence that overall, the Gawad Kalinga housing program in the Laura community substantially contributed to improvements in the beneficiaries' subjective welfare and these improvements are best channeled through Gawad Kalinga's provision of infrastructure services.
