Resumen

This paper assesses to what extent differences in the individual�s characteristics (micro-level perspective) and in country-specific factors (macro-level perspective) can explain country differences with respect to material deprivation levels. Thus, our work aims to simultaneously consider the macro dimension and the predominantly individually oriented study field of material deprivation. To facilitate this integrated approach we take advantage of multilevel techniques to test differences among a large number of countries in the intensity of material deprivation. We make use of the European Union Survey on Income and Living Conditions. Our results show that country specific factors seem to be much more relevant than individual effects to explain country differences in material deprivation.
