This paper proposes a new methodology for multidimensional poverty measurement consisting of an identification method … ρk that extends the traditional intersection and union approaches, and a class of poverty measures Mα. Our identification … joint restrictions on identification and the measures, and the methodology satisfies a range of desirable properties …

multidimensional framework is that the identification method used in the one-dimensional framework, the union method, leads to … exaggerated poverty rates. So far, this problem has been addressed by either changing the identification method itself or by … to be addressed at the aggregation instead of the identification level. In fact, we provide evidence that the way in …
