Most measures of vulnerability are a-theoretic and essentially static. In this paper we use a stochastic Ramsey model … to find a household's optimal welfare and we measure vulnerability as the shortfall from the welfare attained if the … household consumed permanently at the poverty line. The results indicate that vulnerability is very sensitive to the time …

We investigate the accuracy of ex ante assessments of vulnerability to income poverty using cross-sectional data and … vulnerability predictions is limited even when panel data are used. In part this low accuracy is due to low poverty incidence and …

We examine vulnerability to poverty in Tajikistan during the global financial crisis, focusing on the roles played by … international migration and remittances, using a formal, practical, and easily decomposable vulnerability measure. Our strategy is … to estimate a Markov transition probability matrix with the aim of identifying the vulnerability of households to poverty …
