We study the economic relationship between globalization and inequality within a country. In a partial equilibrium it …, relative consumption inequality between employed and the marginalized always rises by intensified globalization. However in … certain situations the relative income inequality may fall. -- Globalization ; inequality ; marginalization ; policy …

Poverty-growth elasticities are frequently calculated to provide insight into the inclusiveness of the growth process …. Mathematically, the formula employed to calculate the growth elasticity of poverty leads to lower values for higher initial poverty … and space. Poverty-growth semi-elasticities provide a more robust measure of the responsiveness of poverty to growth. …

Headcount measures of poverty are by far the most common tools for evaluating poverty and gauging progress in global … development goals. The headcount ratio, or the prevalence of poverty, and the headcount, or the number of the poor, both convey … tangible information about poverty. But both ignore the depth of poverty, so they arguably present distorted views of the …
