Different weights are shown to have generally little empirical difference. However, the choice of underlying variables is found to be important; most choices lead to a good measure of consumption, but only a few produce a good measure of wealth. Based on the empirical results and theoretical discussion, approaches are recommended for constructing asset indices given different research objectives. In addition, the potential bias when using or omitting asset indices as proxies for particular omitted variables is estimated. Multidimensional extensions measuring components of economic well-being separately are also introduced.

Public policy plays a vital role in almost every sector of the modern society. In particular, economic policies and regulations affect the decision-making process of market participants either directly or indirectly. The design and reform of economic policies often have intended or unintended micro-level consequences, affecting the welfare of ordinary households and the development of local communities. This dissertation investigates such policy-induced effects on three particular matters, with evidence from both China and the United States. In the context of China, reforms on the land tenure system and the household registration (hukou) system affect the land and labor allocation within rural households, resulting in changes to their economic welfare. On the other hand, in the U.S. context, the disbursement schedule of monthly food stamp benefits is directly linked to the consumption pattern of recipient households, which in turn affects the prevalence and severity of food security in the local communities. As such, a seemingly minor change in the timing of welfare payment can potentially lead to significant changes in the observed incidence of crime and violent conduct. Based on all the empirical findings, I discuss related policy implications accordingly in either context.

Abstract: The underlying theme connecting my three chapters is the importance of location in influencing the dynamics of household welfare. I consider how economic forces associated with convergence in welfare across households and regions interplay with forces that spur divergence. If there exist increasing returns to community attributes in production, households in poorer communities may fall into a poverty trap. My first chapter, "Rural-Urban Migration and the Intergenerational Transmission of Wealth", explores the various channels by which rural-urban migration affects the intergenerational transmission of wealth in the rural region. I incorporate rural-urban migration, human capital externalities, and regional agglomeration effects into Galor and Zeira's (1993) overlapping generations model. I formalize the conditions that may induce a rural brain-drain and explore the welfare impacts of various person-based and place-based policies under different goods and housing production technologies. Simulations of the model show that for less fluidity in substitution between capital and land in housing technology, well-intended person-based policies such as education subsidies directed towards poorer rural households may distort incentives to migrate to the more productive region. However, the person-based policy does reduce inequality in the rural region and prevents households from falling into a poverty trap. On the other hand, the person-based policy facilitates migration to the city when there is greater technical substitutability in housing production. In the case of place-based policies, where tax revenues are invested in enhancing rural firm productivity, the benefits of the policy may not trickle down to the poorest rural households in the absence of substantial gains in productivity. Average rural household welfare is higher when a place-based policy is implemented but some households may still fall into a poverty trap. My second chapter, "Mobility and Poverty: The Impact of Population Change and Assisted Migration on Household Consumption Growth in Indonesia", evaluates the impact of village population changes and the transmigration program on household productivity in Indonesia using the Indonesian Family Life Survey. I first address possible endogeneity arising from the selection of transmigration sites in a model of household consumption growth by instrumental variables estimation. The initial IV estimation suggests that growth in village population is positively and significantly associated with household consumption growth, while the level of population is negatively associated with consumption growth. I further address the possibility that population change may be endogenous if community demand shocks correlated with higher productivity attracted households to the community. When population change is instrumented for, in addition to transmigration, the estimates for population increase and population levels cease to be significant. In terms of policy recommendations, the results do not indicate any benefits from transmigration, but they neither provide any evidence to substantiate the claims made by opponents of the program. The third chapter, "Is It Harder for Rural American Families to move up the Intergenerational Economic Ladder", is a preliminary analysis of how location affects intergenerational mobility of children from rural American households. I use wealth data from the U.S. Panel Study of Income Dynamics to explore whether children of parents who lived in a rural county are more tied, as adults, to their parent's wealth than children from suburban or urban families. OLS estimates show that economic status is significantly more persistent for families who lived in a rural county that was not adjacent to a metropolitan region. However, when parent's wealth is instrumented by education, the intergenerational wealth elasticity of rural families no longer remains significant.

This thesis consists of three essays that investigate inequality within the household with a particular focus on the effects of intra-household resource allocation and informal child fostering on the welfare of children. The first essay estimates individual resource shares within Ghanaian households using a modern household collective model. Our findings show that mothers, along with their children, tend to be more vulnerable to poverty than fathers because mothers tend to bear most of the cost of having children. Applying the same model to a panel data set of households, the second chapter conducts a comparative study of children's resource shares between male-headed and female-headed households in Jamaica. The results indicate that children tend to be allocated a higher share of resources in female-headed households and hence may not be necessarily poorer in terms of resource shares to children in male-headed households. The final essay investigates the effects of child fostering on two educational outcomes of children in Jamaica - school attendance and the number of years of schooling. We find that being a foster child in itself has a negative impact on the number of schooling years a child accumulates but has no significant effect on school attendance.
