Decomposing the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke Index of Vulnerability to Poverty
This paper applies the decomposition of the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty index to the measurement of the individual vulnerability to poverty. I highlight that poverty risk can be expressed as a function of expected incidence, expected intensity and expected downward variability. An empirical illustration is provided using the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and the Survey on Household I...
متن کاملThe Foster-Greer-Thorbecke Poverty Measures: Twenty Five Years Later
Twenty-five years ago the FGT class of decomposable poverty measures was introduced in Foster, Greer, and Thorbecke (1984). The present study provides a retrospective view of the FGT paper and the subsequent literature, as well as a brief discussion of future directions. We begin by describing the context and origins of our paper, and identify three categories of contributions: to measurement, ...
متن کاملA new multiplicative decomposition for the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty indices
This paper explores a unified framework for the study of changes in poverty over time as measured by the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty indices. First we identify a multiplicative decomposition for the indices of this family as a product of the three components which should be involved in every poverty index: the incidence, the intensity and the inequality in the distribution of the income of t...
متن کاملThe Glivenko Cantelli Theorem and its Generalizations
In this note we will study upper bounds of random variables of the type sup A∈A |ν n (A) − ν(A)| , where A is a class of sets that needs to fulll certain assumptions. These bounds are important tools in the analysis of learning processes and probabilistic theories of pattern recognition. The presentation given here is based on [DGL96].
متن کاملPreservation Theorems for Glivenko-Cantelli and Uniform Glivenko-Cantelli Classes
We show that the P−Glivenko property of classes of functions F1, . . . ,Fk is preserved by a continuous function φ from R to R in the sense that the new class of functions x → φ(f1(x), . . . , fk(x)), fi ∈ Fi, i = 1, . . . , k is again a Glivenko-Cantelli class of functions if it has an integrable envelope. We also prove an analogous result for preservation of the uniform Glivenko-Cantelli prop...
