or that of the change in inequality on poverty. During the last few years, there was a growing interest to perform such … Goal (MDG, henceforth), that is to cut poverty by half. As is illustrated in this paper, estimated poverty changes may be … a new numerical method to allow to estimate accurately the impact of distributive changes on poverty. …

The paper explores different applications of the Shapley value for either inequality or poverty measures. We first … case of multiplicative poverty games for which indices are non additively decomposable in order to capture contributions of … sub-indices, which are multiplicatively connected with, as in the Sen-Shorrocks-Thon poverty index. We finally show in the …

The poverty impact of indirect tax reforms is analyzed using sequential stochastic dominance methods. This allows …

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 …

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 …

Variations in aggregate poverty indices can be due to differences in average poverty intensity, to changes in the … total change in poverty into a sum of indices of each of these three components. This decomposition can serve inter alia to … integrate horizontal and vertical equity criteria in the poverty alleviation assessment of social and economic programs. The use …
