Poverty in Eastern Europe in the Years of Crisis, 1978 to 1987: Poland, Hungary, and Yugoslavia
研究了1978至1987年经济危机期间波兰、匈牙利和南斯拉夫的贫困变化，发现收入下降导致波兰和南斯拉夫贫困率大幅上升，而匈牙利贫困水平基本不变；城市贫困加剧，国有部门工人状况恶化。
Eastern Europe experienced an economic crisis between 1978 and 1987. Declining income led to substantial increases in poverty rates in Poland and Yugoslavia, while poverty in Hungary remained at about the same level as before the crisis. In all three countries urban poverty increased, as the economic condition of state sector workers deteriorated to a much greater extent than that of agricultural and mixed households. The increased poverty was entirely explained by declining income, because the overall income distribution did not change or in some cases improved. Copyright 1991 by Oxford University Press.
