  • Income and Wealth Inequality in Cyprus: Empirical Evidence from the Household Finance and Consumption Survey§
    Cyprus Economic Policy Review, Vol. 14, No. 2, pp 50-60 (2020) 1450-4561 Income and Wealth Inequality in Cyprus: Empirical evidence from the Household Finance and Consumption Survey§ Ioanna Evangelou a , Rozmari Hadjicharalambous a, b and Nektarios A. Michail *, a, c a Economic Analysis and Research, Central Bank of Cyprus b Department of Economics, University of Cyprus c Department of Commerce, Finance, Shipping, Cyprus University of Technology, and Cyprus Centre for Business Research. ________________________________________________________ Abstract We estimate the Gini Coefficient for total income, total wealth, net income and net wealth in Cyprus, using microdata from the Eurosystem Household Finance and Consumption Survey over the years 2009-2017. The results suggest that net income inequality increased slightly from 2009 to 2013, most likely attributed to the economic crisis and its consequences on households. After the end of the crisis and during the recovery period, net income inequality decreased. On the other hand, wealth inequality increased significantly in the recovery period, potentially attributed to the deleveraging behaviour observed by many middle and low-income households, who reduced the liabilities they had accumulated before the economic crisis. Wealthier households appear to have potentially benefited from the increase in real estate prices and the decrease in interest rates during the recovery. Keywords: HFCS, Inequality, Survey, Wealth, Cyprus 1. Introduction Economic inequality in a country is created when income or wealth is not distributed equally between the populations and a gap is created between those considered as the rich, at the top percentile of the distribution, and the poor, at the bottom percentile of the distribution (Kuznets, 1995).

  • The Identity Conflict of the Cypriots the Cypriot Mule
    Uluslararası Sosyal Araştırmalar Dergisi The Journal of International Social Research Cilt: 10 Sayı: 52 Volume: 10 Issue: 52 Ekim 2017 October 2017 www.sosyalarastirmalar.com Issn: 1307-9581 Doi Number: http://dx.doi.org/10.17719/jisr.2017.1898 THE IDENTITY CONFLICT OF THE CYPRIOTS • THE CYPRIOT MULE CORPS IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR Nur ÇETİNER** Abstract Cypriot muleteers served in the British army in the Macedonian front during the First World War. Both Cypriot men and island mules were used in the war. Mules were used in the war due to their carrying ability under harsh geographical conditions. The British government utilized the existing economic problems in Cyprus to attract Cypriot support. For some Cypriots joining the war serving in the army was the only way to provide for the livelihood of their family. In fact, Turkish Cypriots participated in the Great War against the Ottoman Empire. Furthermore, there were differences in terms of religious creed between Greek Cypriots and the British: the Greek Cypriots were Orthodox while the British people were Protestant. Hence, both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots had some troubles about joining the Great War. Despite these differences, Greek and Turkish Cypriots set aside their national and religious feelings and were united in the same army to serve Great Britain. Another important aspect of the Cypriot Mule Corps lies in the fact that the Turkish Cypriots joined the British army not only against their former Sultan but also against their compatriots who migrated to Anatolia and were subsequently recruited to the Ottoman army. Overall, this article aims to illustrate this complex situation of the Cypriot Mule Corps from the standpoint of Cypriots and to show that people can ignore their national and religious identities when they have to.

  • Cyprus and Its Responsibility Towards the World's Poor
    Cyprus and Its Responsibility towards the World’s Poor Craig Webster The Millennium Development Goals sponsored by UN Secretary-General Annan in September 2000 set up a list of goals for the world to meet in order to combat global poverty, increase accessibility to education, and empower women, among other things by 2015. One of the key challenges to the most developed countries was to devote 0.7 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to official development assistance by 2015. Official development assistance is one of the means for investing in education, health, and basic human needs in the less developed societies of the world, so it forms a crucial part of the Millennium Development Goals. The 0.7 per cent of a region’s GDP goal articulated by the Millennium Development Goals is not a new one: in 1970, a Gross National Product (GNP) goal of 0.7 per cent was first stipulated in the United Nations General Assembly. While the Millennium Development goal is stated as a percentage of GDP, its measurement is usually expressed to the technocrats dealing with the issue in 129 THE CYPRUS REVIEW (VOL. 19:2 FALL 2007) terms of a percentage of the Gross National Income (GNI) which, taking subsidies into consideration is a measure of the size of the economy of a country. It can be seen in table 1 that as far as the goal of reaching the minimum amounts of official development assistance as GNI, few countries have lived up to the 0.7 per cent goal they agreed to meet.
