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 …
