The paper deals with poverty orderings when multidimensional attributes exhibit some degree of comparability. The paper … focuses on an important special case of this, that is, comparisons of poverty that make use of incomes at different time … on the relative marginal contributions of each temporal dimension to poverty. Inter alia, this involves drawing on …

This paper develops the link between poverty and inequality by focussing on a class of poverty indices (some of them … parameter that captures the ethical sensitivity of poverty measurement to ``exclusion'' or ``relative-deprivation'' aversion. We … also show how the indices can be readily used to predict the impact of growth on poverty. An illustration using LIS data …

We investigate the properties of a family of social evaluation functions and inequality indices which merge the features of the family of Atkinson (1970) and S-Gini (Donaldson and Weymark (1980, 1983), Yitzhaki (1983) and Kakwani (1980)) indices. Income inequality aversion is captured by...

This paper develops a methodology to estimate the entire population distributions from bin-aggregated sample data. We do this through the estimation of the parameters of mixtures of distributions that allow for maximal parametric flexibility. The statistical approach we develop enables...
