This paper examines multidimensional stochastic dominance when one of the indicators of well-being, such as household …

light on the robustness of poverty comparisons to these important measurement issues. These general conditions extend well …When comparing poverty across distributions, an analyst must select a poverty line to idendify the poor, an equivalence … scale to compare individuals from households of different compositions and sizes, and a poverty index to aggregate …

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 …

This paper provides a method to make robust multidimensional poverty comparisons when one or more of the dimensions of … well-being or deprivation is discrete. Sampling distributions for the statistics used in these poverty comparisons are … information than do univariate poverty comparisons …

This paper extends the previous literature on the ethical links between the measurement of poverty, social welfare and … inequality. We show inter alia, how, when the range of possible poverty lines is unbounded above, a robust ranking of absolute … poverty may be interpreted as a robust ranking of social welfare, and a robust ranking of relative poverty may be intepreted …

The paper contributes to the measurement of poverty and vulnerability in three ways. First, we propose a new approach … apply these tools to the measurement of chronic and transient poverty in China using a rich panel data set that extends over … 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.
