But on Monday, the de facto reply of the "international community" to these assaults on Israel was to promise Gaza already one of the developed world's top per-capita welfare clients billions more in aid.
Because of its high poverty rate, it ranks first among states in its per capita payments from welfare programs, and it also does relatively well on education programs aimed primarily at the poor.
Furthermore, regional information was added reflecting labor market conditions, which includes indicators for high regional unemployment, high GDP per capita and high welfare dependence ratios (in each case, indicating a value higher than the third quartile of the distribution of the respective variable across all German welfare agencies).
Indeed, the state ranks notably below the national average in per capita expenditure for public welfare and number of recipients of general assistance.
Specifically, the selection bias occurs if unobservable factors influence both error terms of the welfare (per capita consumption expenditure) equation (ε i ) and the market participation choice equation (ν i ), thus, resulting in the correlation between the error terms of the two equation (7 and 8).
But there is a much bigger problem, one that challenges the very foundation of the presumed link between per-capita G.D.P. and economic welfare.
Furthermore, the utility of a single DRF for a whole country may be limited for large developing countries such as India or China, due to intra-national variations in demographic composition, weather, pollution exposures, per capita income, income discrimination, and welfare systems.
It gets back roughly an average per capita share of military, Medicare and welfare spending, Mr. Leonard said.
The result further suggests that any increase in the farmers' welfare (consumption expenditure per capita) is conditional on the probability of the farmer participating in the output market.
If we measure regional inequality using the regional mean values of welfare indicators (e.g., per capita income), then the gap between rich and poor regions will remain, but the number of people who have moved out of poverty through migration will be large.
It could be inferred that people might react to the benefits and welfare resulting from higher GDP per capita of the country.
