We develop a poverty decomposition method that is based on a consumption regression model. Because this method uses an … integral of the partial derivatives of a poverty measure with respect to time, the resulting poverty decomposition satisfies … time-reversion consistency and sub-period additivity. Unlike the existing poverty decomposition methods, it allows us to …

Current estimates of global poverty vary substantially across studies. In this paper we undertake a sensitivity … analysis to highlight the importance of methodological choices in estimating global poverty. We measure global poverty using … different data sources, parametric and nonparametric estimation methods, and multiple poverty lines. Our results indicate that …
