Equality of opportunity in four measures of well-being / Gerszon Mahler, Daniel ; Ramos Morilla, Xavier ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada

Selection and educational attainment : why some children are left behind? Evidence from a middle-income country / Méndez-Errico, Luciana (Universidad de la República) ; Ramos Morilla, Xavier (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada)
We model schooling as a sequential process and examine why some children are left behind. We focus on the factors that explain selection at early stages of the education system. Our findings for Uruguay suggest that long-term factors, such as parental background or ethnicity matter across all education stages while the effect of short-term factors, such as family income, wear out as individuals progress in the education system, suggesting a severe selection process at early stages.

This research is focused on Spain, not like most articles based on Great Britain, Germany or United States and uses cross-sectional data from the European Social Survey from the year 2002 until 2012.

Essays on the role of social status and beliefs on intergenerational mobility / Leites Lamela, Martin ; Ramos Morilla, Xavier, dir. ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada
Estos ensayos realizan una contribución teórica y empírica para la mejor comprensión del papel del estatus social en la movilidad intergeneracional de ingresos.

Polarisation and health / Blanco-Perez, Cristina (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Ramos Morilla, Xavier (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada)
This paper examines the effect of income polarisation on individual health. We argue that polarisation captures much better the social tension and conflict that underlie some of the pathways linking income disparities and individual health, and which have been traditionally proxied by inequality. [...]
