Poverty-Efficient Transfer Programs: The Role of Targeting and Allocation Rules

Duclos, Jean-Yves; Makdissi, Paul; Wodon, Quentin - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2003

We propose simple graphical methods to identify poverty-reducing transfer program reforms. 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 dominance curves...

Poverty-Decreasing Indirect Tax Reforms: Evidence from Tunisia

Bibi, Sami; Duclos, Jean-Yves - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2004

This paper suggests a methodology to identify socially-desirable directions for poverty-alleviating tax reforms. The cost-benefit ratio of increasing any commodity-tax rate is derived from the minimization of a poverty measure subject to a revenue requirement for the government. Further, to...

On the Impact of Better Targeted Transfers on Poverty in Tunisia

Bibi, Sami - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2002

This paper describes the effects of general food subsidies on poverty in Tunisia, as revealed by household survey data for 1990. The analysis indicates that the poorest certainly take advantage of this system, but at the price of considerable leakages to non-poor people and at a sizeable...

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...

Effets redistributifs d'un régime d'allocation universelle: une simulation pour le Québec

Araar, Abdelkrim; Duclos, Jean-Yves; Blais, François - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2003

The paper simulates the redistributive impact of three possible scenarios for the introduction of a basic income (BI, also sometimes called "citizens' income") in Québec. The simulations are revenue neutral at the joint provincial-federal government level. The first scenario assumes that a set...

The inability of this kind of model to … account for growth (accumulation) effects makes them inadequate for long run analysis of the poverty and inequality impacts of … and inequality through time. Changes in poverty are then decomposed into growth and distribution components in order to …
