Full textAbstract:
Human Development Index (HDI) includes 3 basic aspects of human development: health, knowledge, a decent standard of living. A country scores higher HDI when the lifespan is higher, the education level and the GDP per capita is higher, the fertility and inflation rates are lower.

Full textAbstract:
A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Economics from the NOVA – School of Business and EconomicsNowadays many social scientists defend the advantages to define a measure of well being able to complement the GDP per capita. This work project proposes a new index of human development: the happiness index. Many studies have been undertaken in order to determine the best measurement of happiness. Happiness is much more than just feeling good, it is also living and doing well. Thus, in order to create a measure of happiness, it is required to evaluate all factors that intervene and, on the other hand, to consider the best practices, combining growth, environmental sustainability and efficiency. The estimation was made based on data for 83 countries, and then applied to 130 countries in the period 1997-2005. Countries with the highest GDP per capita or Human Development Index are not the ones with the higher happiness index.

Harrison, Makiko Ito. "The human development index : a search for a measure of human values." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2001. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/2499/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis investigates methods of evaluating indexes that measure concepts of human values. My understanding of indexes, especially on how they relate to the real world and concepts (that are the objectives of the measurement), is influenced by my study of literature on models used in economic and in physics. We learn from this study of models the following: (1) regularities described in theories do not represent real world phenomena, which consist of many different forces acting simultaneously; (2) but such regularities are true in models, because they describe specific conditions under which regularities in nature are displayed; (3) there are more than one model that can represent the same phenomenon depending on which particular aspect of the phenomenon to focus on; and (4) the success of a model has to be evaluated partly by criteria that are independent from theoretical ones. Since the role indexes play in relation to real world and concepts are similar to the role models play in relation to theories, I have applied the above knowledge to propose the following three criteria to evaluate successful indexes: (1) Purpose-dependent criteria: criteria that are based on particular motivations of the measurement project; (2) Theory-dependent criteria: criteria that are reflected in the theories that expressly or implicitly guide the development of the project of measurement; and (3) Conditions-dependent criteria: criteria that are based on the conditions under which the index measures what it is designed to measure. I apply these three criteria of successful indexes to examine two projects of measuring human values, one called the Human Development Index developed by the United Nations Development Programme and the other called the Life Satisfaction Indicator developed by an officer at the Economic Planning Agency in Japan. Among the findings from the examination of those two indexes are that they can be the products of a mixture of concerns that include convenience, conventions, practicality, politics and consistency with relevant theories, and some of these concerns may conflict with each other. Another important finding is that because there are many assumptions made and simplifications applied in order to choose a quantitative representation of a human value, the application of the measure is limited. I conclude that both in using and in evaluating indexes of human values, it is important that we are aware of such limitations, so that we can more effectively know both how to avoid misusing the indexes and how to improve them over time.

The thesis of chis paper is that the predicrions of !ater human development based on a single event during early life generally have a weak interna! validiry. These limitations are not due to problems of study design but ro un erroneous conceptualization of the very nature of development. This is not determined by main effects but by the complex relationships among domains wirhin the organism and between the organism and the physical and che social environment. The propasa! is ro model human development as a probabilistic process that gradually shapes its developmental trajectory.La tesis de este trabajo es que las predicciones sobre la dirección del desarrollo humano basándose en un solo evento ocurrido durante los primeros años de la vida generalmente tienen una débil validez interna. Las limitaciones de dichas predicciones no se deben a las limitaciones inherentes a los estudios que han puesto a prueba la validez de la predicción sino a una conceptualización errada sobre la naturaleza misma del desarrollo. Este no está determinado por efectos principales sino por complejas relaciones recíprocas entre los diferentes componentes del organismo y entre este y el ambiente físico y social. Se propone que hay que modelar el desarrollo como un proceso probabilístico cuya trayectoria se va forjando gradualmente.

Full textAbstract:
Those working in Engineering for Global Development seek to improve the conditions in developing countries. A common metric for understanding the development state of a given country is the Human Development Index (HDI), which focuses on three dimensions: health, education, and income. An engineer’s expertise does not always align with any of those dimensions directly, while they still hope to perform impactful work for human development. To discover other areas of expertise that are highly associated with the HDI, correlations and variable selection were performed between all World Development Indicators and the HDI. The resultant associations are presented according to industry sector for a straightforward connection to engineering expertise. The associated areas of expertise can be used during opportunity development as surrogates for focusing on the HDI dimensions themselves. The data analysis shows that work related to "Trade, Transportation, and Utilities", such as electricity distribution, and exports or imports, "Natural Resources and Mining", such as energy resources, agriculture or access to clean water, and "Manufacturing", in general, are most commonly associated with improvements in the HDI in developing countries. Also, because the associations were discovered at country-level, they direct where geographically particular areas of expertise have been historically associated with improving HDI.

In order to go through a path that allowed us to verify these queries, we selected some countries and some cities in São Paulo state and then we crossed information from the HDI and the MHDI with environmental indicators, such as the Ecological Footprint (for the countries) and the Environmental Assessment Index (for the cities). We believe that based on these data and in the light of many theorists we were able to reflect on important aspects related to the understanding of a development that is not fragmented or reduced and is capable of structuring itself to simultaneously provide social equity, economic enhancement, and conservation of natural systems.

Full textAbstract:
In the current development debate, much critique has been directed towards the modern measures of welfare that attempt to assess human well-being according to more dimensions than just per capita income. One such measure is the United Nations Development Programme‟s Human Development Index (HDI), which is comprised by measures of education, health and income. The HDI has been subject to many evaluations concluding that it is intrinsically correlated with GDP, and is believed to possess poor statistical quality due to the arbitrary weighting of the included variables. It has also been proposed that the environment and its sustainability are of importance to human welfare, and should be included in measures of well-being. In this paper, Principal Component Analysis is performed on a number of environmental variables to create a scientifically weighted index that can be incorporated into composite welfare measures. Inclusion of the new environment index into the HDI greatly reduces the correlation between income and the index, as it incorporates environmental issues that are not significantly correlated with level of income.

The Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is expected to result in the launching of a process to devise a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2015. Whilst indicators are perceived to be a good vehicle of monitoring progress, currently there is no universally agreed method of measuring sustainable development. This thesis addresses this issue through assessing whether the capabilities approach can be adopted for a global framework in measuring sustainable development. In order to determine this, both theoretical and practical implications will have to be understood. The former is addressed through reviewing the compatibility between the key concepts of sustainable development and the capabilities approach. The latter is addressed through obtaining empirical evidence on the key drivers in selecting indicators via focus group discussions and a quantitative survey with key individuals involved in the Sustainable Development Indicators (SDIs) project in Malaysia. It was found that a weak conceptual basis can be attributed as the major challenge for establishing global sustainable development indicators. Whilst recognising that a range of mechanisms are required for operationalization, it was concluded that the capabilities approach provides a sound conceptual basis, framed on the basis of justice and equity in expanding and sustaining the capabilities of current and future generations to pursue their needs.

At the swing of the global economy, political trends and events that occur in the historical development of societies, it is occurring environmental, economic and social development phenomena that affect all citizens of the world, which has been understood as globalization. Given the irreversibility as economic fact, it should alert the entire school community in which the human values and essence of being a person are the most important concepts develop within the consumer society. This essay, beyond a critique of the globalizing phenomenon, explores its possibilities for the future, determining whether the constructs education and globalization can be mutually beneficial and not mutually exclusive.Al vaivén de la economía mundial, las coyunturas políticas y los acontecimientos que se producen en el devenir histórico de las sociedades, ocurren fenómenos de tipo ambiental, económico y social que afectan a todos los ciudadanos y ciudadanas del orbe, es lo que se ha entendido como la globalización.

Previous issue date: 2008-05-30This work aimed to study the human development in the neighborhood Resistência belonging to the region of São Pedro in the city of Vitória-ES, based on the calculation of the Municipal Human Development Index (HDI-M) and Living Conditions Index (LCI). The latter is an extension of the Human Development Index (HDI), covering more information, that is, while the HDI comprises only three dimensions: health, education and income, embodied in four indicators, the LCI incorporates the addition of these children and housing, total of 18 indicators. This study is necessary to obtain information relating to living conditions of local people in order to help the local public policies. Since this calculation can be done periodically, serving as a diagnosis and evaluation of policies implemented, indicating the areas where the greatest failures occur, thus signaling the need for public interventions in these areas for improving the quality of life of the community. The methodology used in the research was based adopted by João Pinheiro Foundation (FJP) and the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA) of 1998, since the HDI-M and LCI were created by these two bodies. Data were collected by the application of 317 questionnaires in a sample of homes of neighborhood Resistência, statistically defined. The main findings were: 1 - The HDI-M of neighborhood Resistência found himself in the range of medium human development (0.5
O presente trabalho procurou estudar o desenvolvimento humano no bairro Resistência pertencente à região do São Pedro no município de Vitória-ES, com base no cálculo do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal (IDH-M) e do Índice de Condições de Vida (ICV). Esse último é uma extensão do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH), abrangendo mais informações, isto é, enquanto o IDH engloba apenas três dimensões: saúde, educação e renda, incorporadas em quatro indicadores, o ICV incorpora além destas a infância e habitação, totalizando 18 indicadores. Esse estudo se faz necessário para obter informações relacionadas às condições de vida da população local com o intuito de auxiliar nas políticas públicas locais. Sendo que este cálculo poderá ser feito periodicamente, servindo ainda como diagnóstico e avaliação das políticas implementadas, indicando as áreas onde ocorrem as maiores deficiências, sinalizando assim a necessidade de intervenções públicas nestas áreas para a melhoria da qualidade de vida da comunidade. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa foi baseada na adotada pela Fundação João Pinheiro (FJP) e do Instituto de Pesquisas Econômicas Aplicadas (IPEA) do ano de 1998, uma vez que, o IDH-M e o ICV foram criados por estes dois órgãos. Os dados foram levantados pela aplicação de 317 questionários em uma amostra de domicílios do bairro Resistência, estatisticamente definida. Os principais resultados encontrados foram: 1- O IDH-M do bairro Resistência encontrou-se na faixa de médio desenvolvimento humano, (0,5 < IDH-M < 0,8) resultando no valor 0,769 e o ICV da região estudada situou-se na faixa de elevado desenvolvimento humano, (ICV > 0,8), sendo mais precisamente da ordem de 0,813. 2- As dimensões longevidade e renda situaram-se na categoria de médio desenvolvimento humano, enquanto a dimensão educação situou-se na categoria de elevado desenvolvimento humano para o IDH-M. Já as áreas educação e renda foram as que obtiveram piores resultados no ICV, ambas situadas na faixa de médio desenvolvimento humano, as demais áreas situaram-se na faixa de alto desenvolvimento humano.

Full textAbstract:
Freedom to compete in the market: resources, processes, and resultsHerein we analyze three concepts of market competition. Although the different aspects of freedom can be appreciated in each one of them, they make an especial contribution to some of them. We propose that the ‘neoclassical general equilibrium’ chiefly contributes to the discussion of the outcomes of an economic activity; the ‘barriers to entry’ approach calls for a study of the resources necessary to compete; and the ‘competition as a process’ approach emphasizes the competitive activity itself. Moreover, as we move from the first onwards, enriching the meaning of competition, the possibility of losing opportunities to participate in the market becomes more evident. Entry and exit are part of the competitive process. Each concept of competition responds to theories that specify or allude to certain types and distribution of economic agents’ freedoms to manoeuvre. Throughout this study, we often quote Amartya Sen with the purpose of buildingbridges between the study of competition and the approach of ‘development as freedom.Analizamos tres conceptos de competencia en el mercado. Aunque en cada uno de ellos se pueden apreciar las distintas facetas de la libertad, también aportan especialmente a alguna de ellas. Proponemos que el enfoque de «equilibrio general neoclásico» aporta principalmente a la discusión de los resultados de una actividad económica, el enfoque de las «barreras a la entrada» invita a estudiar los recursos necesarios para competir y el enfoque de la «competencia como proceso» pone el acento en la actividad competitiva misma. Además, conforme nos movemos del primero hacia los demás, enriqueciendo el significado de la competencia, se pone más en evidencia la existencia de pérdidas de oportunidades para participar en el mercado que provienen de la propia competencia económica. Cada concepto de competencia responde a teorías que especifican o aluden a ciertos tipos y distribución de márgenes de acción y de acceso a herramientas para competir. En todo el trabajo citamos a menudo a Amartya Sen con el fin de establecer puentes entre el estudio de la competencia y el enfoque del «desarrollo como libertad»

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates which factors affecting savings behavior by using a fixed effect regression model. To see what affects the household savings rate the following independent variables is considered: Natural logarithm of trend per capita income, natural logarithm of deviation from trend per capita income, growth of disposable income, real interest rate, inflation, wealth in relation to household disposable income, foreign savings in relation to disposable income, dependency ratio and human development index. To see whether changes of human development within a county impacts the household´s savings ratio this variables was included in a separate regression. To avoid possible biasedness from ordinary least square, a panel data technique called fixed effect regression model is used. The investigated time period is between year 1999 and 2016 and to make a restriction, variables from 25 developed countries were studied. The involved economic theories in this work are Keynesianism, permanent income hypothesis and the savings theory behind Maslow´s behavioral pyramid. The result made by using this study is that growth in income and foreign savings in relation to disposable income is insignificant and can´t be used in explaining the differences between household´s savings. Human development index within a country has a negative effect on the savings ratio but a conclusion regarding whether changes in HDI´s does affect savings can´t be made and more research within that field is needed.

Given that human development is a complex process involving multiple components and determiningfactors, multidimensional indicators are needed. On the basis of the extensive literatureon the subject, we advance two new indicators: the Matrix of Capabilities and Functioning(MCF), and the Algorithm of Human Development (HDA).The MCF is composed of vectors of capabilities and functionings, based on Sen’s idea of RefinedFunctionings. It is based in a matricial framework, both static and dynamic. The main purposeof constructing this index is to study how different sets of capabilities relate to alternativefunctionings, to produce diverse outcomes.The Human Development Algorithm (HAD) is a multidimensional index concerning the setof goods and services needed to complete a life cycle. The HDA is a socio-economic contextindicator. It is composed of the main «satisfactors» or basic goods and services needed: food,health, education, housing, social security, decent employment and retirement programs, thatmight be available to all throughout of life cycle. This indicator shows the material progressreached by each country or region as well the institutional organization, private and public, andthe degree of social cohesion and solidarity.Dado que el desarrollo humano es un proceso complejo que tiene múltiples componentes ydeterminantes, es necesario tener indicadores multidimensionales tales como la Matriz de Capacidadesy Desempeños (MCD) y el Algoritmo del Desarrollo Humano (ADH).El MCD está compuesto de vectores de capacidades y de desempeños, basado en la idea de Sensobre desempeños refinados.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is based on a case study approach investigating the impact of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies on community development in corporate supply chains that are located in developing countries. The cases chosen for the in-depth analysis are two notable Swedish multinationals, Ericsson, and IKEA. These cases were not fully comparable due to the imbalance in the available data. The study employed the Brundtland definition of sustainable development, under the broader theoretical framework of stakeholder theory. The impact of the two CSR strategies were measured against the eight variables of the Human Development Index (HDI), centred on the proposition that positive progress on these would be an enabler for accomplishing the objectives of the sustainable development goals (SDG’s). In the case of IKEA, using both semi-structured interviews and empirical data, it was premised that the partnership between IKEA and Rangsutra, as part of the CSR strategy titled, “People Planet Positive 2020” is delivering meaningful change in line with the suggested benchmark of the HDI/SDG. In the case of Ericsson, it was not possible to determine what change has been effected due to the lack of primary and secondary information, though they are helping to develop communities through certain pilot programs in association with other actors. It was further determined that there is a lack of source material available, and additional studies are required to evaluate the extent of empowerment that CSR programs in global Swedish enterprises generate in communities that are part of their supply network.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays quality of life is often discussed topic. In defining this term, there is considerable ambiguity and disunity, since there is no universally accepted definition, nor theoretically sophisticated model. However, despite this fact, the level of quality of life is currently one of the most discussed topic. Monitoring the quality of life by using a variety of indicators are engaged in several international organizations, one of them is the Development Programme of the United Nations. This organization annually publishes the Human Development Index, which divides the world´s countries into four groups according to their level of development: low, medium, high and very high development. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the quality of life in 125 countries by using cluster analysis, accurately the Ward's method. Quality of life in this thesis is evaluated based on 19 demographic and economic indicators, which include life expectancy, literacy rate, access to drinking water and infant mortality rate. The cluster analysis divided the country into individual clusters by their similarities. Six clusters were created by this analysis, which had been compared with the results of Human Development Index. The clusters very well reflect the division, which is commonly used in the characterization of developing and developed countries. Each of the six clusters can be very well described and characterized in terms of quality of life. It is also possible qualify those clusters as poorest developing, low developed, moderately developed, medium development, high and very high development countries. Based on the results it can be stated that this analysis is consistent with other indicators of quality of life and the resulting clusters are identical with the division of countries which is commonly used.

Full textAbstract:
Governments and leaders across the globe almost universally agree that human trafficking is a modern atrocity that has harshly negative effects for individuals, communities, entire states and the international community. Nevertheless, they are not in agreement on how best to investigate cases and provide aid to victims. Many states lack the resources to effectively
create and implement policies. Governments must act to protect their citizens and people within their borders. Policies are necessary to correctly identify victims, investigate accusations, bring cases to trial and prevent vulnerable populations from becoming victimized through awareness. This thesis asserts that there is a link between the development level of a state and its ability to limit the grotesque crimes of trafficking that occur within its borders. Using the United Nation's annual report which details the development ranking of individual states, it is possible to comparatively analyze the ability of these states to comply with international standards established by the United States of America in the protection of victims of human trafficking. Special attention is paid to the challenges that societies face when there are drastic changes to states' economic activity or political stability and how these affect the frequency of trafficking occurrences and a government’s ability to respond.B.A.

Full textAbstract:
The theme of this diploma thesis is "The Poverty in the Developing World", the poverty that not only less developed countries mainly in Africa, Asia and Latin America suffer from, but developed countries that are trying to help the developing world suffer from it as well. How much is that help important and what kind of help is crucial for the developed countries, that is the main subject of this thesis. The theoretical part is based on the available economic theories that solve the vicious circle of poverty in which these countries are trapped. Leading economists mentioned in the theoretical part are Thomas Malthus, whose study was one of the first, then Thomas Merrick, Albert Hirschman, and many others. The practical part deals with three countries, which connect the African continent - Somalia, Angola and Botswaa. Each of these countries is currently in a different situation, but their initial conditions were the same - the hole in the vicious circle of poverty. The conclusion of this work is a prediction of the future development of these countries and recommendations what direction they should go.

The extinction of enterprises presents a multitude of consequences for the economies, including the social cost, caused by unemployment, as well as the loss of economic momentum, generating expectations not optimistic on the market, especially when there is a high number of businesses closing their doors , which emphasizes the climate scenario recessive or crisis. The reasons given by the specialist literature indicate that the lack of entrepreneurial skills, in addition to the factors of the market (cyclical) are factors that explain the failure of many entrepreneurs. Exiting from the supply side and checking the prospect of demand, variables such as Human Development Index - HDI, income from taxes and public investment may also explain the extinction of these activities. The objective of this study is to relate the extinction of companies with these variables mentioned. As methodology of this research performed is a econometric model, directing HDI, income from tributs and public investment as independent variables of this phenomenon, therefore explanatory. From a multiple regression concluded that there is a relationship, the HDI in larger scale with the extinction of enterprises, and that there is an inversely proportional relationship of these factors congruent, in most states identified. It was noticed also an inclination of the explanatory variables identified, but with little statistical significance. Keywords: extinction, companies, HDI, revenue, taxes

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation deals with human development based on studies of Amartya
Sen who has the people and enhancement of the welfare of society as the center of
concerns. The objective is to estimate an index of development for the Brazilian
states and the Federal District into two distinct periods. The first period comprises the
following years the Real Plan based on 1996 and the second period, the most recent
years, refers to 2010. State Development Index (SDI) is calculated by means of
multivariate statistical analysis technique called Factor Analysis. Twenty one (21)
variables of aspect economic, demographic, social, security, infrastructure and
agriculture are used. The variables were divided into four (4) groups (demographic
and economic, infrastructure and support, social and agricultural), allowing to
calculate partial indexes and formulate specific policies for punctual improvements.
The comparison between the periods in question and check the trajectory of human
development of the Brazilian states through SDI suggests that most states obtained
reductions in the level of human development. The Federal District and the states of
Mato Grosso, Tocantins, Roraima, Amapá and Acre were the exceptions, and failed
to improve human development. Another comparison is made between the IDE and
the Human Development Index (HDI) to check for similarities and differences. The
main similarity refers to the classification of states regarding development.Este trabalho trata do desenvolvimento humano baseado nos estudos de Amartya Sen o qual tem o ser humano e a melhoria do bem estar da sociedade como o centro de preocupações. O objetivo é estimar um índice de desenvolvimento para os estados brasileiros e Distrito Federal em dois períodos distintos. O primeiro período compreende os anos seguintes ao Plano Real com base em 1996 e o segundo período, os anos mais recentes, refere-se a 2010. O Índice de Desenvolvimento Estadual (IDE) é calculado por meio da técnica da análise estatística multivariada, denominada Análise Fatorial. São utilizadas 21 variáveis de aspecto econômico, demográfico, social, de segurança, de infraestrutura e agropecuário. As variáveis foram divididas em 4 grupos (econômicos e demográficos, de infraestrutura e apoio, sociais e agropecuários), permitindo calcular índices parciais e formular políticas específicas para melhorias pontuais. A comparação entre os períodos em questão e verificação da trajetória de desenvolvimento humano dos estados brasileiros através do IDE sugere que a maior parte dos estados obteve reduções do nível de desenvolvimento humano. O Distrito Federal e os estados do Mato Grosso, Tocantins, Roraima, Amapá e Acre foram às exceções e conseguiram melhorar o desenvolvimento humano. Outra comparação é feita entre o IDE e o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) para verificação de semelhanças e divergências. A principal semelhança refere-se à classificação dos estados quanto ao desenvolvimento.

Full textAbstract:
Can we become a developed country in a generation? Yes, if we implement the following reforms. Sustain macroeconomic stability. Sustain commercial and financial openness to become the source of sustained economic growth. Complement openness with the following reforms: improvements in human capital via increases in the quality of education and health, increase in private investment via improvement in the investment climate and complementary infrastructure, financial deepening and labor market reform. A new source of growth is the promotion of a broad entrepreneurial middle class via the elimination of the distortions in the productive structure that have induced the increase of informality and the concentration of entrepreneurship in microenterprises and in a low productivity services sector. The elimination of distortions in the tax system, the social security system and the labor market will increase the demand for quality labor and the improvements in human capital will increase its supply and induce the emergence of a broad entrepreneurial middle class. Finally, for this entrepreneurial middle class to emerge, we have to reform the estate to eradicate corruption, reduce crime and to create a predictable and fair judicial system to defend property rights including compliance with commercial contracts.¿Podremos llegar a ser desarrollados en una generación? Para lograrlo debemos implementar diversas reformas. Debemos mantener la estabilidad macroeconómica. Debemos mantener la apertura económica y, para que se convierta en fuente permanente de crecimiento económico, debemos complementarla con la mejora en la calidad del capital humano, a través de la mejora en la calidad de la educación, la salud y el crecimiento de la inversión privada, a través de la optimización del clima de negocios, la infraestructura, el sistema financiero y la reforma del mercado laboral. Una nueva fuente de crecimiento es el desarrollo de una amplia clase media empresarial mediante la eliminación de las distorsiones en la estructura productiva, que inducen a la informalidad y han concentrado a la mayoría de la fuerza laboral en la microempresa y el sector de servicios de muy baja productividad. La eliminación de las distorsiones de la tributación, de la seguridad social y del mercado laboral incrementará la demanda de trabajo bien remunerado y la mejora del capital humano aumentará su oferta. Finalmente, para que pueda surgir masivamente esta clase media empresarial necesitamos liberarla del peso de un Estado parcialmente disfuncional y corrupto, mediante una reforma que erradique la corrupción, disminuya la inseguridad, desarrolle un poder judicial predecible que respete los derechos de propiedad y el cumplimiento de contratos.

This study discusses the concepts and quantitative ways of measuring human development and welfare. It also presents an overview of the impact of the poverty eradication policies on welfare at the national level and also in Ceara State. It is developed and estimated an econometric model to assess how public expenditure impacts the HDI. The main conclusion of this study is that total expenditure has only a weakly influence on the IDH, while public expenditures on education and housing have a positive and statistically significant impact on the HDI. This finding has important policy implication since it may help policymakers to design and implement public policies.

Mestrado em Economia e Políticas PúblicasEsta dissertação estuda o estado da Governance e a alocação despesa pública (em áreas sociais prioritárias) em Angola, com o objetivo de avaliar o atual estado dos setores sociais prioritários e quais os indicadores económicos que influenciam o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano no país. Em termos de metodologia, os primeiros dois capítulos são referentes a uma análise qualitativa, onde é definido o perfil da Governance em Angola e de Angola como país. A metodologia aplicada debruça-se também sobre o crescimento económico, as dimensões do IDH (índice de Desenvolvimento Humano) e a despesa pública. Foi aplicada uma metodologia do tipo quantitativo no quarto e quinto capítulos. O quarto capítulo consiste na análise da despesa pública por funções do Orçamento Geral do Estado, referente ao período de 2003-2018. Os dados do OGE (Orçamento Geral do Estado) foram obtidos do Ministério das Finanças de Angola e analisados estatisticamente de forma descritiva. Por fim foi realizada também uma regressão linear estatística no quinto capítulo, onde se procurou identificar quais os indicadores económicos que influenciam o IDH em Angola. As principais conclusões deste estudo confirmam Angola como um país com elevados níveis de corrupção e baixos níveis de Governance. As políticas públicas em Angola são fracas, particularmente no que toca à elaboração e execução do OGE. Como resultado, negligenciam-se as reais necessidades por despesa social prioritária, o que afeta essencialmente sectores sociais chave, como a Saúde, a Educação e a Proteção Social, tendo em conta o grau de desenvolvimento de Angola.
This dissertation studies the state of governance and the allocation of public expenditure (priority area social expenditure) in Angola, with the objective of assessing the current state of the prioritized social sectors, and the economic indicators that influence Human Development Index (IDH) in the country. In terms of methodology, the first two chapters refer to a qualitative analysis, where the profile of Governance and Angola as a country is defined. The applied methodology uncovered the causal relationship between economic growth, IDH dimension and Public Expenditure. A quantitative methodology was also used in the fourth and fifth chapters. The third chapter consists of the analysis of public expenditure by functions of the General State Budget (OGE) for the period 2003-2018. The OGE data was obtained from the Ministry of Finance of Angola and a descriptive statistical analysis was then conducted. A linear regression analysis was also carried out to identify which economic indicators influence HDI in Angola. The overall results confirm Angola as country with high levels of corruption and low levels of governance. Furthermore, Angola has weak public policies, particularly regarding the elaboration and execution of the OGE. In essence, this neglect the real need to prioritize social expenditure, which essentially affects key sectors such as Health, Education and Social Protection, considering the degree of development of Angola.

Full textAbstract:
The intent of this research was to create and evaluate a karst tourism management index (KTMI). This index is intended to be a new management tool designed to quantify environmental disturbances caused specifically by tourism activities in karst regions, particularly show caves and springs. In an effort to assess the effectiveness of the index as a management tool in karst terrains, after development, the index was applied to six case study sites. A review of the management policies at each study site was conducted with the use of standard policy critique methods and semistructured interviews with managers at the study sites. After interviews were completed, the newly created index was applied to the study areas with the aid of park land managers. Including land managers in the application process allowed for active land managers to provide more meaningful feedback on potential improvements to the KTMI to ensure the most universally applicable and thoroughly field-tested index tool was created. Upon application and continual refinement of the index to the six study sites, a new data-driven management tool to measure disturbances to karst terrains by tourism was developed. The KTMI consist of an Overall Score category that is broken down into the two main categories of Management and Tourism. The KTMI contains 168 indicators that all need to be scored individually to obtain results, with Management containing 100 of the indicators and Tourism containing the other 68 indicators.

Diploma thesis describes the problem of quantitative expression of the quality of life. For this purpose is used one of the most widespread indicators of quality of life - Human Development Index. This paper describes its basic characteristics, method of calculation, its advantages and drawbacks. One of the objectives of this paper is the elimination of these shortcomings by alternative method of calculation. The methods of multi-criteria evaluation of alternatives and data envelopment analysis models are applied for these purposes. One part of this paper is a theoretical description of the tasks of multi-criteria decision making and their classification into the methods for multi-criteria evaluation of alternatives and into the methods of multi-criteria linear programming. In this paper are used methods WSA, TOPSIS and PROMETHEE, based on the definition of the theoretical characteristics of the methods of multi-criteria evaluation of alternatives. These methods are applied on the source data, obtained from a model of the human development index. After calculation, the results obtained are analyzed and written into the conclusion. Another alternative approach to obtain the level of human development is to evaluate the degree of efficiency of countries using data envelopment analysis models in comparison with the human development index. For these purposes is written the theoretical background, which defines the basic types of data envelopment analysis models. These theoretical findings serve as the basis for the practical analysis by the BCC output oriented model and by the corresponding model of super efficiency. The results of these calculations are analyzed and subsequently written into the final conclusion.

O Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) foi criado pela
Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) em 1975, sendo um índice
composto que mede a obtenção da média do país em três
aspectos básicos que são a expectativa de vida, a educação
e a renda familiar. O IDH é um indicador alternativo ao
Produto Nacional Bruto (PNB), que mede a riqueza de uma
nação, acrescentando a este dois indicadores sociais
abrangentes, a saber: a educação e a saúde. O IDH torna-se
útil na medida em que chama a atenção das pessoas
responsáveis politicamente pelo país, no sentido de se
aterem mais à área social, ou seja, de verificarem como
está o desenvolvimento integral do país permitindo
inclusive a comparação com outros. Além do IDH, o estudo
descreve índices que medem a condição humana, HPI-1 e HPI-
2, para medirem índices de pobreza em países em
desenvolvimento e em países selecionados, o GDI e GEM, que
são índices relacionados ao sexo, tanto para
desenvolvimento como participação e o IDH-M que é um índice
apropriado para municípios. O estudo faz também um
diagnóstico da situação do Brasil e de sua evolução, desde
a criação do índice. Serão propostos modelos em pesquisa
operacional para otimização do IDH, o que facilitará e
agilizará a tomada de decisões por parte dos governantes,
que poderão tomar suas decisões baseadas agora num modelo
matemático que certamente trará mais retornos de
investimento sobre o capital empregado. As variáveis
principais do problema serão a saúde, educação e a renda da
população. As soluções e sugestões a serem apresentadas
terão como meta básica o menor custo e de mais rápida
implementação.The Human Development Index (HDI) is a compound index that measures the levels of a country in three basic aspects: life expectancy, education level and the family income. The HDI indicates an alternative to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which measures the overall wealth of a country, adding two social indexes: the education pattern and the health level. The HDI is a useful index because it shows the social area to people who have political responsabilities in a country, suggesting them the evaluation of the country development including social aspects, and permitting the comparison with the other countries. Besides the HDI, the study describes indexes which measure the human condition, HPI-1 and HPI-2, of poverty in development and in selected countries, the GDI and GEM, which are gender related indexes to check development and participation, and the HDI-M which is an appropriate index to measure the human condition in an urban environment. The study makes a diagnosys of the Brazilian situation and evolution, since the creation of these indexes. The dissertation proposes HDI optimization models. Such proposal might simplify and improve the efficiency of the decision making process. In this way, public officials may take their decisions based on a mathematical model which will increase the ratio benefits and investment costs.

This article analyses the status of education as a fundamental right. The recenteconomic crisis and associated austerity policies have worsened the situation and,rather than diminish, educational inequalities have in fact increased. Firstly, thesignificance of education as a Human Right is examined. Secondly, the extentto which the MDGs have been met is reviewed, particularly with regard toeducation, where, as detailed in various reports produced by NGOs and by theUnited Nations, certain difficulties have impeded their being met. The Right toEducation is examined in a projective way as a right that should not be limitedto the vision contained in the new Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.It is necessary to go still further and advance towards a true democratisation ofeducation.En este artículo se analiza la educación como derecho humano fundamental. Ellegado del siglo veinte muestra avances pero las crisis económicas y las políticasde ajuste adoptadas han agravado las desigualdades educativas.

O trabalho apresenta uma análise qualitativa do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) em áreas de reforma agrária e periferia urbana de Ribeirão Preto - SP. A discussão está pautada a partir dos indicadores educação, saúde e renda. Destaca-se algumas limitações do IDH – por exemplo, a “reificação” da medida em detrimento do conceito – com vistas à superação do aspecto reducionista e fragmentado do conceito de desenvolvimento adotado para o cálculo do índice. As contradições e movimentos das espacialidades pesquisadas estão descritas e revelam a dialética relação entre o par campo-cidade. Os resultados apontam novas perspectivas para a melhoria das condições de vida dos sujeitos do campo e da cidade, destacando a autonomia e alteridade como elementos fundamentais para a possibilidade da transformação social, do mesmo modo se reafirma a questão do trabalho como categoria central para o desenvolvimento humano.
This paper presents a qualitative analysis of the Human Development Index (HDI) in areas of agrarian reform and urban periphery of Ribeirão Preto – SP. The discussion is guided from the indicators education, health and income. It is detached some limitations of the HDI - for example, the reification of the measure at the expense of the concept - with a view to overcoming the reductionist and fragmented aspect of the concept of development adopted for calculating the index. The contradictions and movements of spatialities surveyed are described and reveal the dialectic relationship between the pair city-field. The results suggest new prospects for improving the living conditions of those in rural and urban, emphasizing the autonomy and otherness as fundamental to the possibility of social transformation, just as it reaffirms the role of labor as a central criterion for human development.

primeiro aconteceu no período áureo da borracha e o segundo na implantação da Zona Franca de Manaus e do seu Polo Industrial. O crescimento acelerado exerce uma forte pressão na infra-estrutura existente da cidade, uma vez que a população necessita de mínimas condições para uma boa vivência urbana, bem como disponibilidade de serviços e equipamentos urbanos. O surgimento de assentamentos desordenados, sem o devido controle, ocasionou uma cidade com problemas, tais como: carência de infra-estrutura básica, água encanada, energia, esgoto, asfalto e serviços públicos essenciais. O Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento (PNUD) é a entidade das Nações Unidas que tem a missão de promover mudança e conectar países à experiências, conhecimentos e recursos, apontando soluções que se consiga sociedades e Nações fraternas e socialmente justas. O Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) é uma ferramenta do PNUD que sintetiza o nível de sucesso atingido pela sociedade no atendimento a três necessidades básicas e universais do ser humano: acesso ao conhecimento (dimensão educação), direito a uma vida longa e saudável (dimensão longevidade) e direito a um padrão de vida digno (dimensão renda). A construção de indicadores socioeconômicos tem como principal finalidade permitir uma análise da dinâmica das coletividades em seus vários aspectos, proporcionando, dessa forma, subsídios para a avaliação e estabelecimento de objetivos e prioridades. Esta dissertação intitulada O que revelaram os Índices de Desenvolvimento Humano na Cidade de Manaus , está delimitada à Cidade de Manaus, no período 1991- 2000 e tem como objetivo geral investigar as características qualitativas e quantitativas dos Índices de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH), 1991-2000. Quanto aos os objetivos específicos, passa-se a enumerá-los: Verificar alguns dos melhores Índices de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) do Brasil e no exterior; examinar os melhores e os piores Índices de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) entre os municípios do Estado do Amazonas; analisar as Unidades de Desenvolvimento Humano (UDHs) do município de Manaus, bem como os IDHMs desta capital. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura com finalidades descritivas, explicativas e analíticas

Universidade Federal do CearÃEste trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar o aspecto das receitas municipais no cÃlculo do Ãndice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH).Inicialmente, faz-se uma explanaÃÃo sobre o Ãndice de Gini, mostrando-se a possibilidade concreta de um paÃs crescer economicamente sem necessariamente promover a distribuiÃÃo de renda. Faz-se tambÃm uma conceituaÃÃo sobre o IDH, mostrando-se a forma de cÃlculo e uma anÃlise dos nÃmeros de alguns paÃses, do Brasil, com uma anÃlise mais detalhada dos municÃpios do estado do CearÃ.Em um estudo empÃrico sobre os municÃpios do CearÃ, tendo como base as receitas municipais de 1995 a 1999, utiliza-se um modelo economÃtrico, com o qual conclui-se que o impacto de um choque na receita municipal à sentido com maior intensidade nos municÃpios que tÃm maior IDH e nos anos mais distantes da mediÃÃo do Ãndice, o que permite-se que a melhoria do IDH està relacionada à polÃticas de mÃdio e longo prazo, a fim de que haja um prazo de maturaÃÃo para obtenÃÃo de resultados, devendo ser essa uma das grandes preocupaÃÃes dos governantes pÃblicos.
The objective of this paper is to assess the aspect of the municipal revenues in calculating the Human Development Index (HDI). First, an explanation is given on the Gini Index showing the real possibility for a country to grow economically without necessarily promoting the distribution of income. A judgement is also made on the HDI, showing how to calculate it as well as an analysis of numbers of some countries, of Brazil, including a more detailed analysis of the municipalities in the State of CearÃ. In an empirical study of CearÃâs municipalities, an econometric model is used based on the 1995 to 1999 municipalitiesâ revenues. With that mode we conclude that the impact of a shock in the municipal revenue is more intensely felt in those municipalities that have a higher HDI and in the years farther away from the index measuring. Hence, we can say that the improvement in the HDI is related to medium and long-term policies so that there is a maturation period to obtain results and this should be a concern of the public rulers.

Main goal of this thesis is to analyze human development index for European countries and provide cluster analysis not only of human development index but even of another quality of life variables and to find similarities between particular countries by using hierarchical methods. The first part focuses on quality of life and definition of human development index. Human development index is one possibility how to measure quality of life, there are mentioned another possibilities, though how to analyze it. The second part of the thesis focuses on cluster analysis definition, which is used for searching for similarities between particular countries. Five hierarchical cluster methods is used for classify countries into clusters. Euclidean metric is used for express the distance between countries. Similar variables between countries is judged according to sorting into clusters by hierarchical methods. Diploma thesis enlightens similarity between European countries from quality of life overview and provides statistical evidence about this topic. Results of the thesis confirms similarities between geographical close states.

Full textAbstract:
Au cours de ces dernières décennies, le concept de la compétitivité s'est établi comme un mot-clé important dans la vie sociale, à l’échelle micro-économique et surtout macro-économique. Au regard d’une mondialisation grandissante et de l'expansion des marchés mondiaux, la compétitivité peut quelque fois se limiter à l’aspect purement économique et commercial. Alors que l’examen des différents défis économiques, sociaux et environnementaux qui préoccupent de nos jours l’humanité conduit à reconsidérer les modèles d’évaluation de la croissance économique adoptée, à reconnaitre leurs limites et à apporter un jugement critique sur l’évaluation de la compétitivité. Ce travail se propose donc d’explorer quelques possibilités de l’intégration contemporaine de principes « éthiques » dans le concept de la compétitivité macroéconomique. Prenant en compte la dynamique du concept de la compétitivité, la thèse analyse l’histoire et l’évolution de cette notion. L’analyse engage alors une approche théorique, ensuite une étude comparée des différents indices d’évaluation de la compétitivité. L’objectif est d’examiner comment des principes éthiques peuvent être intégrés pour la mesure et l’évaluation de la compétitivité des pays, c’est-à-dire comment elle pourrait être évaluée au-delà du PIB et des résultats commerciaux et comment elle rejoint également la préoccupation pour les inégalités, la pauvreté, le changement climatique dans des domaines aussi différents que la santé, l’éducation, l’eau et l’agriculture …Les objectifs de la Charia (Maqasid Charia) constituent une assise convenable pour construire un nouvel indice de compétitivité éthique, permettant ainsi la contribution de différents pays, même non musulmans, à chacun des objectifs de la ChariaThroughout the past decades, competitiveness was established as an important concept in social life, at micro and especially macro levels. With globalization and the expansion of global markets, competitiveness can sometimes be limited to purely economic and commercial dimensions. While examining various current economic, social and environmental challenges that affect today’s economy and humanity, the thesis reconsiders the economic growth assessment models adopted, to recognize their limits and put forward critical judgment on the assessment of competitiveness. This study develops, therefore, an exploration of some possibilities of contemporary integration of "ethical" principles into the concept of macroeconomic competitiveness.Taking into account the dynamics of the concept of competitiveness, the thesis analyzes the history and evolution of this concept. The analysis puts forward a theoretical approach, followed by a comparative study of different indices for assessing competitiveness. The aim is to examine how ethical principles are integrated to measure countries' competitiveness. That is, how competitiveness could be evaluated beyond the GDP and trade outcomes and that it also incorporates the measures of inequality, poverty, climate change, health, education, water, agriculture etc. The objectives of Shariah (Maqasid al Shariah) present a suitable foundation to build a new ethical competitiveness index that measures countries’ contribution to the objectives of the Shariah

Previous issue date: 2015-03-19The objective of this paper is to evaluate the existence of the relationship between renewable energy generation and the Human Development Index (HDI) in short and long terms, based on methodology previously proposed and excluding from the analysis the economic effects generated by the energy production itself. The results indicate that the relationship between the variables exists, but there are different effects between the groups of countries in short and long term, suggesting that governments strategically adopt energy policies with different assumptions

La inversión pública contribuye al desarrollo humano mediante la ampliación de la capacidad productora de bienes o servicios públicos. Por lo que el presente trabajo investiga el efecto de la inversión pública en el Índice de Desarrollo Humano (IDH) según niveles de gobierno durante el periodo 2007-2015. Para ello se emplea modelos de efectos fijos con estimadores within en un panel balanceado, así como se analiza si los resultados permanecen en regiones de bajo, medio o alto IDH y en regiones donde se realiza bajo, medio o alto monto de inversión según niveles de gobierno. Los resultados muestran que a nivel agregado la inversión pública no tiene un efecto en el IDH. En contraste, al segmentarlo por niveles de gobierno, se encuentra que solo la Inversión de Gobiernos Locales contribuye positivamente al IDH, sobre todo en las regiones de menor IDH o con niveles medios de inversión. Adicionalmente, se evaluó la existencia de diferencias en cuanto a la finalización o no de proyectos en el caso de la inversión de los gobiernos regionales (GR), concluyendo que no fue posible afirmar tal efecto en el IDH. Por último, se contribuyó a la literatura empírica del Perú mediante el hallazgo de otras determinantes del IDH.Public investment contributes to human development by expanding the capacity to produce public goods or services. Therefore, the present work investigates the effect of public investment in the Human Development Index (HDI) by government levels during the period 2007-2015. For this purpose, fixed effects models are used with within estimators in a balanced panel, as well as analyzing whether the results remain in regions of low, medium or high HDI and in regions where low, medium or high investment amounts are made according to levels of government. The results show that, at the aggregate level, public investment has no effect on the HDI. In contrast, when the public investment was segmented by levels of government, it is found that only Local Government Investment contributes positively to the HDI, especially in regions with lower HDI or with medium levels of Local Government Investment. Additionally, this investigation explored the existence of differences regarding the ending or not of projects in the case of investment by regional governments (GR) was evaluated, concluding that it was not possible to affirm that effect in the HDI. Finally, we contributed to the empirical literature of Peru by finding other determinants of the HDI.
