The main objective of the present paper is to present a cross-country analysis of pro-poor growth in 80 countries in … 237 growth spells during the period 1984-2001. To achieve this objective, the paper proposes a new measure of pro …-poor growth that captures gains and losses of growth rates due to changes in the distribution of consumption. The gains imply pro …

This paper looks into the interrelation between economic growth, inequality, and poverty. Using the notion of pro … reduction in poverty is monotonically an increasing function of the pro-poor growth measure. This paper proposes a pro …-poor growth measure that satisfies the monotonicity criterion. This measure is called the ‘poverty equivalent growth rate’, which …

One is the proposal of a new measure of pro-poor growth, which links growth rates in mean income … and in income inequality. The other contribution is a decomposition methodology that explores linkages between three …
