poverty

This paper proposes a measure for deprivation in social participation drawing on philosophical considerations, axiomatic research on poverty and deprivation, and previous empirical research on social exclusion and subjective well-being. The measure is illustrated using German data.

This paper exmanies whether individuals suffer from capability deprivation in terms of life satisfaction. Since data on functionings often are lacking, this paper explores the conditions and assumptions under which capability deprivation can be inferred from readily available consumption data.
