Distributional justice and efficiency : integrating inequality within and between dimensions in additive poverty indices
Rippin, Nicole - 2012
According to Sen (1976), any reasonable poverty index ought to be sensitive to inequality. In a multidimensional … framework, inequality between poverty dimensions is traditionally treated as association sensitivity. Such an approach, however … introduces a new property for dealing with inequality that accounts for both efficiency as well as distributive justice. Based on …

Operationalising the capability approach : a German correlation sensitive poverty index
Rippin, Nicole - 2012
The official measure to analyse poverty in Germany is the at-risk-of-poverty rate, defined as 60 per cent of the median net equivalence income. The severe methodological weaknesses of this rate seem to be the main source for the uncertainty that the issue of poverty in Germany generates in the...

Poverty mapping based on first order dominance with an example from Mozambique
Arndt, Channing; Hussain, M. Azhar; Salvucci, Vincenzo; … - 2015
We explore a novel first order dominance (FOD) approach to poverty mapping and compare its properties to small area estimation. The FOD approach uses census data directly; is straightforward to implement; is multidimensional allowing for a broad conception of welfare; and accounts rigorously for...

approach to inequality measurement when defining pro-poor growth. With a relative approach to pro-poor growth it is assumed … that inequality does not to vary when all incomes are multiplied by a constant whereas, with an absolute approach to pro …-poor growth, inequality is supposed not to vary when an equal sum is added to all incomes. The empirical illustration covers the …
