Health and income : a robust comparison of Canada and the US
Duclos, Jean-Yves; Echevin, Damien - 2009
This paper uses sequential stochastic dominance procedures to compare the joint distribution of health and income … of income and health using procedures that are robust to aggregation techniques. The paper's approach is more general … than comparisons of health gradients and does not require the estimation of health equivalent incomes. We illustrate the …

Assessing absolute and relative pro-poor growth, with an application to selected African countries
Bibi, Sami; Duclos, Jean-Yves; Verdier-Chouchane, Audrey - 2011
This paper proposes a multidimensional procedure for jointly assessing the absolute and relative pro-poorness of growth. It is also a procedure for testing whether poverty comparisons can be made over classes of indices that incorporate both absolute and relative views of poverty. Besides being...

Growth pro-poorness from an intertemporal perspective with an application to Indonesia, 1997-2007
Bresson, Florent; Duclos, Jean-Yves; Palmisano, Flaviana - 2017
The impact of growth on the distribution of income or consumption is regularly debated at both the scientific and policy levels. Within the micro-oriented literature dedicated to growth pro-poorness evaluation issues, the focus is specifically on the poverty impacts of growth. Considering a...

Testing for restricted stochastic dominance
Davidson, Russell; Duclos, Jean-Yves - 2006
Asymptotic and bootstrap tests are studied for testing whether there is a relation of stochastic dominance between two distributions. These tests have a null hypothesis of nondominance, with the advantage that, if this null is rejected, then all that is left is dominance. This also leads us to...

Chronic and transient poverty: measurement and estimation, with evidence from China
Duclos, Jean-Yves; Araar, Abdelkrim; Giles, John - 2006
The paper contributes to the measurement of poverty and vulnerability in three ways. First, we propose a new approach to separating poverty into chronic and transient components. Second, we provide corrections for the statistical biases introduced when using a small number of periods to estimate...

Pro-poor tax reforms, with an application to Mexico
Duclos, Jean-Yves; Makdissi, Paul; Araar, Abdelkrim - 2009
This paper proposes a methodology for testing for whether tax reforms are pro-poor. This is done by extending stochastic dominance techniques to help identify tax reforms that will necessarily be deemed absolutely or relatively pro-poor by a wide spectrum of poverty analysts. The statistical...

Is the value of humanity increasing? A critical-level enquiry
Cockburn, John; Duclos, Jean-Yves; Zabsonré, Agnès - 2012
We assess whether the value of humanity (or global social welfare) has improved in the last decades despite (or because of ) the substantial increase in global population sizes. We use for this purpose a relatively unknown but simple and attractive social evaluation approach based on...
