The 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 کاملDecomposing 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 کاملSystems of Diagonal Equations over J-adic Fields
with coefficients in +. It is an interesting problem in number theory to determine when such a system possesses a nontrivial +-rational solution. In particular, we define Γ*(k,R,+) to be the smallest natural number such that any system of R equations of degree k in N variables with coefficients in + has a nontrivial +-rational solution provided only that N&Γ*(k,R,+). For example, when k ̄ 1, ord...

Smith has almost...
