Overcoming indigenous disadvantage

Cumulative causation and the Productivity Commission’s framework for overcoming indigenous disadvantage?
Boyd Hunter / Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research, Australian National University
Boyd Hunter argues that it is not sufficient to measure the various aspects of disadvantage as we need to understand the pathways into disadvantage and the evolution of more sustainable positive outcomes. In this paper from the 2007 Australian Social Policy Conference he uses cross-sectional evidence to suggest circular causation between the three priority outcome areas identified by the Productivity Commission.
