Recently, the topic has gained relevance as welfare state retrenchment and international competition in globalized economies has put increasing pressures on individuals and families.

title = "Assessing Economic and Fiscal Reforms in Lebanon: A Dynamic CGE Analysis with Debt Constraints",
abstract = "Since the early 1990s, Lebanon has undertaken a number of economic reforms, covering international trade and internal fiscal policy issues in particular. Simultaneously, debt has been skyrocketing, partially justified by reconstruction needs after the end of the civil war. Fostering economic growth seems to be the only way out of the debt trap, but reforms intended to stimulate growth may well have adverse short-run effects on public and external deficits. We construct a dynamic open-economy computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with debt constraints in the sense that external debt requires physical capital as collateral. The CGE model allows us to study the effects of a number of important economic policy issues, such as fiscal policy reform, World Trade Organization (WTO) membership, and foreign direct investment, in a multisectoral dynamic setting under the realistic assumption that debt constraints relax when the economy starts growing. Included in the results are reports on scenarios of trade liberalization and political stabilization.",

title = "Social Capital, Trust and Economic Growth: A Cross-sectional and Panel Analysis",
abstract = "The following thesis examines three topics: the relationship between social capital and economic growth, the relationship between human capital, social capital, and economic growth, and the relationship between the welfare state and social capital. In the first two topics, social capital is the independent variable. The third topic treats social capital as the dependent variable and deals with the determinants of social capital. The main question here is whether there is a crowding-out effect between welfare state effort and social capital. The thesis is divided into two parts and six chapters. The first part, the theory, intertwines all three topics into one line of thought. It provides a short introduction to the relevant questions of research, gives definitions of social capital and trust and argues for the claim that the dimension of trust, in particular, must be considered within the paradigm of social capital. Economic growth models are introduced and how the social and human capital paradigm fits into the models is discussed. Theoretical arguments supporting a positive, as well as a negative, relationship between trust and economic growth are detailed. The concept that the importance of social capital is dependent upon the degree of economic development in a nation is likewise discussed. In the second part, the empirical results of the research are presented. This section is organised along three topics of research: trust and economic growth (Chapter III), human capital, social capital, and economic growth (Chapter IV), and the welfare state and social capital (Chapter V). The topics are structured as follows: a presentation of discussions on operationalisation, the model specifications, and the measurement of the data and the case samples. Results from descriptive statistics will also be presented. Thereafter, econometric results will be presented. The following econometric methods will be used: i) cross-section analysis, ii) pooled panel analysis, and iii) panel analysis. A brief conclusion will be given after each section. The last chapter summarises the overall results of the research presented. A short outlook for further research is give.",

title = "{\textquoteleft}Active{\textquoteright} citizenship: The new face of welfare",
abstract = "In the course of the 1990s, the welfare states of modern western societies were confronted with new and changing challenges that were, in part, contradictory. These challenges were caused by exogenous processes, including globalisation and EU integration, as well as endogenous processes involving social and economical change within European societies (Esping-Andersen, 1999, Esping-Andersen et al, 2002). As a consequence of such processes, social security systems came under pressure (Ferrera and Rhodes, 2000; Scharpf and Schmidt, 2000; Hinrichs, 2001). At the same time, new demands pertaining to social security developed as a result of changes in the life histories of individuals (Naegele et al, 2003; Guillemard, Chapter Four, this volume). Processes such as increasing rates of unemployment in the 1990s, increasing labour-force participation of women, increasing migration to EU member states, demographic developments (particularly an increase in the proportion of older people) and the proliferation of unstable forms of employment, together with the related prospect of insecure income, have contributed to these changes (Lind and M{\o}ller, 1999). At the same time, new discourses concerning the legitimacy of welfare state spending have emerged at the cultural level. These have often been based on neoliberal and communitarian thinking and have led to the active alignment of welfare states towards the market, resulting in part in the questioning of the state's role in redistribution.As a consequence of the processes by which welfare states have attempted to find solutions to these new challenges, many European welfare states were restructured in the 1990s and at the beginning of the new millennium. The nature of these changes is a contested issue among social-policy researchers. Some argue that European welfare states are converging towards a neoliberal type of welfare regime in which the welfare state assumes a more marginal role in relation to the market (Gilbert, 2002). Alan Walker (Chapter Three) argues that neoliberal economic globalisation has led to a transformation of European welfare systems along at least two dimensions: firstly, in deregulation, privatisation and marketisation and secondly, in the shift from social justice to economic investment (the productive role of welfare) in the guidance of social policy. Other things being equal, these new developments may increase the risk of poverty and social exclusion.",

These are: absorption of cross-sectional variance by unit dummies, absorption of time-series variance by the lagged dependent variable and period dummies, mis-specification of the lag structure, and neglect of parameter slope heterogeneity. Based on this discussion, we suggest substantial changes of the estimation approach and the estimated model. Employing our preferred methodological stance, we demonstrate that Garrett and Mitchell's findings are not robust. Instead, we show that partisan politics and socioeconomic factors such as aging and unemployment as expected by theorists have a strong impact on the time-series and cross-sectional variance in government spending.",
