This paper explores the link between poverty and inequality through an analysis of the poverty impact of changes in … empirical linkages between poverty, growth and inequality.

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 … whether the assessment of marginal program reforms is sensitive to the choice of poverty lines and poverty measures as well as …

This paper extends the previous literature on the normative links between the measurement of poverty, social welfare … and inequality. We show how, when the range of possible poverty lines is unbounded above, a robust ranking of absolute … poverty may be interpreted as a robust ranking of social welfare, and a robust ranking of relative poverty may be interpreted …
