I address four topics: how our capacities to monitor poverty in Europe have improved substantially over recent decades …; how progress on EU poverty reduction has been disappointing and why this has been; conceptual and measurement issues; and … the future direction of EU-level anti-poverty actions. I follow in the footsteps of a giant - my perspectives are …

geospatial data can accurately predict the spatial distribution of poverty in Thailand. In particular, geospatial data examined …Poverty statistics are conventionally compiled using data from household income and expenditure survey or living … standards survey. This study examines an alternative approach in estimating poverty by investigating whether readily available …

The spatial granularity of poverty statistics can have a significant impact on the efficiency of targeting resources … granular poverty maps. This study outlines a computational framework to enhance the spatial granularity of government …-published poverty estimates using a deep layer computer vision technique applied on publicly available medium-resolution satellite …

It is argued that negative and zero incomes cannot be treated equally in terms of household well …-being and that standard methods used by practitioners fail to recognize this fact likely resulting in overestimations of poverty. …

This paper analyses poverty reduction in Bhutan between two points in time — 2003 and 2007 — from a multidimensional … multidimensional poverty regardless of the indicators’ weights, deprivation cutoffs and identification criterion of the poor. This … poverty among those who were less intensively poor, although not among those who were more intensively poor. Rather than …

point is afforded by the status of a focus axiom in the measurement of poverty. Focus requires that a measure of poverty … ought to be sensitive only to changes in the income-distribution of the poor population of any society. In practice, most … poverty indices advanced in the literature satisfy an income-focus but not a population-focus axiom. This, it is argued in the …

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 study reviews two methods of measuring poverty dynamics. The components approach uses the longitudinally averaged … of poverty episodes experienced by a household. Using panel data from the Philippines, we examine the differences between … these analytical methods of measuring chronic and transient poverty. Furthermore, the study also examines the sensitivity of …
