Poverty over Time and Location: An Examination of Metro/Nonmetro Differences American Journal of Agricultural Economics 86,5 (December 2004): 1282-1289. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/3697942 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Family Income; Family Models; Family Studies; Geocoded Data; Poverty; Rural/Urban Differences The article analyzes the differences between dynamically poor living in metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas in the U.S. using a framework that incorporates both time and space. A dynamically poor individual is defined as someone whose income has been below the poverty line for at least one year. There are two categories of dynamic poverty. Persistent poverty applies to individuals poor for ten years or more. Transitory poverty applies to individuals poor for one to nine years. The official poverty line in the U.S. represents the cost of acquiring a minimum basket of goods for families of various sizes. The key indicators, expected living standard of the poor and the probability of remaining poor, are based on a living-standards model that adjusts for local and individual characteristics. These two indicators reveal whether there are locational differences in living standards and poverty after controlling for differences in the values of characteristics and the returns to characteristics. Data are a geocoded version of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79), a nationally representative sample of 12,686 individuals aged 14-21 in 1978. |
