The pace of poverty reduction through growth vs. redistribution is at the heart of current debates on equitable … development. In this paper, we argue that empirical poverty decompositions should build in the inherent boundedness of the poverty … headcount ratio directly. As a solution, we propose a fractional response approach to estimating poverty decompositions, and …

Most equivalence scales which are applied in research on poverty and inequality do not depend on income, although there … differing assessments of poverty and inequality under quite general conditions. German microdata will be used to demonstrate and …

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 … the new property, it then proceeds to derive a new class of inequality-sensitive poverty measures whose advantages are …

I …Official poverty thresholds are based on the implicit assumption that the household with poverty-level income possesses … individual approaches. I also propose a two-dimensional, time-income poverty measure that accounts for intrahousehold disparities …

For meaningful policy analysis, it is important not only to look at overall poverty, and compare countries or regions … the dynamics of poverty. This extends the methodological toolkit presented in Chapter 5. First we present a new measure of … methodological extensions that are required for inter-temporal analysis of poverty using repeated cross-sectional data, and for the …

This paper aims at measuring and analyzing the non-monetary aspect of multidimensional poverty by the basic needs … Multidimensional Correspondence Analysis (MCA) techniques to construct a Composite Poverty Indicator (CPI). Moreover, we use the most … recent data from the country survey QUIBB 2006. The results of the incidence of multidimensional poverty by two approaches …

In this paper, we propose to use the so-called Sen-Shorrocks poverty index (Shorrocks, 1995) to measure …, the most common case in the literature, and introduce a rank-dependent multidimensional poverty index for multiple binary … important for poverty analysis. An empirical illustration based on deprivation data from four Central American countries …

The paper discusses the main issues related to negative and zero incomes that are relevant for the measurement of … poverty. It shows the prevalence of non-positive incomes in high- and middle-income countries, provides an analysis of the … non-positive incomes, and explains how non-positive incomes and alternative correction methods impact the measurement of …
