The paper discusses the joint distribution approach to multidimensional poverty measurement and …More data on non-income dimensions of poverty are available than at any previous time in history.

The pace of poverty reduction through growth vs. redistribution is at the heart of current debates on equitable … development. In this paper, we argue that empirical poverty decompositions should build in the inherent boundedness of the poverty … headcount ratio directly. As a solution, we propose a fractional response approach to estimating poverty decompositions, and …
