The paradox of the social investment state: growth, employment and poverty in the Lisbon era (2011, background): “Esping-Andersen concluded on the basis of a recalculation of Marical et al. (2006), ‘that services are generally redistributive in an egalitarian direction, albeit less so than are cash transfers’ (Esping-Andersen and Myles, 2009: 654; italics added by the author).”
Two Decades of Change in Europe: The Emergence of the Social Investment State (2012, background): “The problem is that the welfare state is always already directly implicated in the primary income distribution (Esping-Andersen and Myles, 2009: 639).”
Disappointing poverty trends: is the social investment state to blame? (2011, background): “…the inherent endogeneity between primary incomes and the welfare state, as argued by Esping-Andersen and Myles: ‘To really estimate redistribution we would need to invent a counter-factual “virgin” distribution that was unaffected by social policy altogether’ (Esping-Andersen and Myles, 2009: 641).”
