  • Income Per Natural: Measuring Development As If People Mattered More Than Places by Michael Clemens and Lant Pritchett
    Working Paper Number 143 March 2008 Income per natural: Measuring development as if people mattered more than places By Michael Clemens and Lant Pritchett Abstract It is easy to learn the average income of a resident of El Salvador or Albania. But there is no systematic source of information on the average income of a Salvadoran or Albanian. We create a first estimate a new statistic: income per natural—the mean annual income of persons born in a given country, regardless of where that person now resides. If income per capita has any interpretation as a welfare measure, exclusive focus on the nationally resident population can lead to substantial errors of the income of the natural population for countries where emigration is an important path to greater welfare. The estimates differ substantially from traditional measures of GDP or GNI per resident, and not just for a handful of tiny countries. Almost 43 million people live in a group of countries whose income per natural collectively is 50% higher than GDP per resident. For 1.1 billion people the difference exceeds 10%. We also show that poverty estimates are very different for national residents and naturals; for example, 26 percent of Haitian naturals who are not poor by the two-dollar-a-day standard live in the United States. These estimates are simply descriptive statistics and do not depend on any assumptions about how much of observed income differences across naturals is selection and how much is a pure location effect. Our conservative, if rough, estimate is that three quarters of this difference represents the effect of international migration on income per natural.

  • G 300 Regions and Countries Table
    Regions and Countries Table G 300 BACKGROUND: The regions and countries table was developed in order to encourage uniformity of Cutter numbers among classes. It is applied to new entries in the shelflist when the form caption in the classification schedule reads By region or country, A-Z, provided that there is no conflict with existing entries. The table contains all 195 independent countries as of 2019, 26 major dependencies and areas of special sovereignty, some historical jurisdictions or entities, and some islands. The table is normally amended only when world events require the change of names of countries. This instruction sheet provides guidelines for applying the regions and countries table and for establishing new Cutters for the table. For principles governing Cuttering by region or country, see F 430. 1. Existing Cutters. If a Cutter for a region or country has been used in the shelflist or established in the classification schedule, use that number even if it is in conflict with the number in the regions and countries table. 2. New Cutters. If a Cutter for a specific region or country is being applied for the first time in a particular class, and there is no conflict with adjacent Cutter numbers, use the Cutter indicated in the regions and countries table. If a conflict exists with adjacent Cutter numbers, continue the existing Cutter arrangement, adjusting the new Cutter to maintain the proper alphabetical arrangement. 3. Special rules. For special rules related to creating Cutter numbers under captions reading By region or country, A-Z (or its equivalent), see F 430.

  • Interview with Murat Bejta
    INTERVIEW WITH MURAT BEJTA Pristina | Date: May 18, 2016 Duration: 158 minutes Present: ​ 1. Murat Bejta (Speaker) 2. Jeta Rexha (Interviewer) 3. Noar Sahiti (Camera) Transcription notation symbols of non-verbal communication: () – emotional communication {} – the speaker explains something using gestures. Other transcription conventions: [ ] - addition to the text to facilitate comprehension Footnotes are editorial additions to provide information on localities, names or expressions. Part One Murat Bejta: I was born in the spring of 1936 in the village of Zhiti, municipality of Podujeva. So, ​ concerning the distance, our village is 25 kilometers from Podujeva and extends to the border with Serbia. It’s one of the last Albanian and Kosovar villages which extend until the border with Serbia. Our village is approximately four to five kilometers from the border with Serbia. It extends in the direction of a place in Serbia, precisely at the border with Kosovo, a place which was also used by Romans, the ore of that place, because they are connected with the ore of Trepça. And provinces with various mines, with lead, which extends to that part, goes through our village. And, as I said it earlier, relying on my birth year, I experienced the Second World War when I was eight or nine. And I heard the firing of rifles and cannons between the Albanians who were defending their land and the Serbian četniks1 who wanted to get into our villages, also our village, to kill us, rob us, ​ ​ massacre us, while I was looking after the cattle in our fields which are called konaku i keq [bad ​ hospitality].
