Empirical evidence suggests that regional disparities in incomes are often very high, that these disparities do not necessarily disappear as economies grow and that these disparities are itself an important driver of growth. We use a novel approach based on multilevel modeling to decompose the...

One of the most frequent critiques of the HDI is that is does not take into account inequality within countries in its three dimensions. In this paper, we apply a simply approach to compute the three components and the overall HDI for quintiles of the income distribution. This allows a...

We propose a methodology for comparing poverty over multiple periods across time and space without arbitrarily … aggregating income over various years or relying on arbitrarily specified poverty lines. Following Duclos et al. (2006a), we use … span, as dimensions. We also embed in this framework a new concept of chronic and transient poverty. We illustrate our …

The recent focus on 'pro-poor growth' led also to an intense debate on how exactly to define and to measure pro-poor growth. However, all suggested measures, irrespective whether they use the absolute or the relative definition of pro-poor growth have in common that they are based on the...
