Multilevel Determinants of Household Poverty: A Mixed Effects Logistic Regression AnalysisGuney, tiler SigezeKaya, ZeynepBalli, EsraRelative povertyRegional disparitiesT & uumlrkiyeMixed effects logistic regression analysisMULTIDIMENSIONAL POVERTYBusiness, FinanceEconomicsBusiness & EconomicsThis study investigates the socioeconomic determinants of poverty in Turkey by incorporating household charac teristics with regional indicators using 2024 data using a multilevel mixed effects model. Relative poverty, defined as 60% of the median equivalised household disposable income, serves as the dependent variable. Considering the hierarchical structure of the data, the determinants of poverty status were examined employing a two level generalised mixed effect logistic regression model, accounting for the nesting of households within NUTS 2 regions. The findings reveal that poverty cannot be explained solely by householdlevelvulnerabilities; the regional economic environment also significantly shapes poverty outcomes. Also, education is determined as the most security measure; having a university degree decreases poverty risk by 42.6%. Across regions, resources must be directed towards GDP growth and infrastructure to mitigate spatial disparities by integrating household level microdata with regional macro indicators. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the spatial and key structural factors behind poverty in Turkey. Policymakers should prioritise opportunities to pursue higher education and vocational training at the household level.ISTANBUL UNIV2026Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/16836https://doi.org/10.26650/jepr18962092148-3876enJOURNAL OF ECONOMIC POLICY RESEARCHES-IKTISAT POLITIKASI ARASTIRMALARI DERGISIinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/16836
