This paper examines three possible approaches to pro-poor growth. The first one assumes that the poverty line remains … constant in real terms over time. The second perspective examines the case where the poverty line is equal to half the median … of the income distribution but assumes that such a poverty line is determined exogenously. Finally the authors also …
