The paper contributes to the measurement of poverty and vulnerability in three ways. First, we propose a new approach … introduced when using a small number of periods to estimate the importance of vulnerability and transient poverty. Third, we … to separating poverty into chronic and transient components. Second, we provide corrections for the statistical biases …

Besides being robust to whether pro-poor judgements should be absolute or relative, the … ranges of absolute and relative poverty lines. The test is applied to distributional changes in five middle- and four lower …

This paper reviews and assesses issues involved in the measurement of multidimensional poverty, in particular the … soundness of the various “axioms” and properties often imposed on poverty indices. It argues that some of these properties (such … as those relating poverty and inequality) may be sound in a unidimensional setting but not so in a multidimensional one …

A sharing rule is thus used to allocate to each income component a part of total poverty alleviation that is …
