Poverty-dominant program reforms: the role of targeting and allocation rules
Makdissi, Paul; Wodon, Quentin; Duclos, Jean-Yves - Département d'économique, Faculté d'administration - 2002
We propose simple graphical methods to identify poverty-reducing marginal reforms of transfer programs. The methods are based on Program Dominance curves that display cumulative program benefits weighted by powers of poverty gaps. These curves can be decomposed simply as sums of targeting...

Restricted and Unrestricted Dominance Welfare, Inequality and Povery Orderings

This interpretation is also valid when the … maximum poverty line is bounded and for certain orders of stochastic dominance, so long as social welfare and inequality …

Restricted Inequality and Relative Poverty
Makdissi, Paul; Duclos, Jean-Yves - Département d'économique, Faculté d'administration - 2001
This paper develops criteria for a new concept of restricted inequality dominance and show how they relate to criteria … for comparing relative poverty. The results warn against the use of some popular indices of inequality.\ They do, however … poverty and restricted inequality. We also illustrate graphically how the new criteria of restricted inequality dominance …

Dynamique de la pauvreté en Haïti et ses déterminants
Siméon, Alex; Boccanfuso, Dorothée - Département d'économique, Faculté d'administration - 2006
ABSTRACT: Haïti, classée 153e/177, appartient au groupe des pays les plus sous-développés au monde (PNUD 2005). Ainsi, ce pays est parmi ceux appelés à bénéficier des programmes de réduction de la pauvreté dans le cadre des « Objectifs du millénaire pour le développement ». A cet...

Measuring Poverty Reduction and Targeting Performance Under Multiple Government Programs
Makdissi, Paul; Wodon, Quentin - Département d'économique, Faculté d'administration - 2001
The evaluation of the poverty impact and targeting performance of a given social program may depend on how other programs are treated in the analysis.Using well-known results from cooperative game theory, this paper proposes an empirically simple yet theoretically sound method for allocating...

Food subsidies and poverty in Egypt: Analysis of program reform using stochastic dominance
Makdissi, Paul; Boccanfuso, Dorothée; Audet, Mathieu - Département d'économique, Faculté d'administration - 2007
Throughout this article, we utilize consumption dominance curves, a tool developed by Makdissi and Wodon (2002) to analyze the impacts on poverty brought on by changes in the food subsidy system in Egypt. The Egypt Integrated Household Survey (EIHS) of 1997 allows us to conclude that changes...

Poverty-Reducing Tax Reforms with Heterogeneous Agents
Makdissi, Paul; Duclos, Jean-Yves; Wodon, Quentin - Département d'économique, Faculté d'administration - 2002
The poverty impact of indirect tax reforms is analyzed using sequential stochastic dominance methods. This allows agents to differ in dimensions that cannot always be precisely captured within the usual money-metric indicators of living standards. Examples of such dimensions include household...
