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 …

counterfactual simulations. We start by decomposing changes in inequal- ity/poverty indices into three contributions: reforms of the …. -- Tax-bene t policy ; inequality ; poverty ; decomposition ; microsimulation …

In this paper an alternative approach with regard to poverty measurement is discussed: the so-called decomposition … approach. This method differentiates between various social groups in the sense that for each group a separate poverty line is … traditional poverty measurement to refer to income-independent equivalence scales is principally avoided. Moreover, the further …

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 …

Estimates of the number of people living in extreme poverty, as reported by the World Bank, figure prominently in … international development dialogue and policy. An assumption underpinning these poverty counts is that there are no economies of … global estimates of extreme poverty to changing this assumption. The analysis rests on nationally representative household …
