We investigate spatial poverty comparisons in three African countries using multidimensional indicators of well …-being. The work is analogous to the univariate stochastic dominance literature in that we seek poverty orderings that are robust … to the choice of multidimensional poverty lines and indices. In addition, we wish to ensure that our comparisons are …

Our methodology … more dimensions. We thus derive the sampling distribution of various multidimensional poverty estimators, including …
