Robust Multidimensional Poverty Comparisons
We investigate how to make poverty comparisons using multidimensional indicators of well-being, showing in particular how to check whether the comparisons are robust to aggregation procedures and to the choice of multidimensional poverty lines. In contrast to earlier work, our methodology applies equally well to what can be defined as “union”, “intersection” or “intermediate” approaches to deal...
متن کاملConditions for the most robust multidimensional poverty comparisons using counting measures and ordinal variables
The case for an assessment of poverty considering multiple deprivations has been well argued for a long time (e.g. Sen, 2001, 2009). While there is a broad consensus about the multidimensionality of poverty, there is a debate as to whether the multiple indicators of deprivations should be brought together into a composite index or not (e.g. see Ravalion, 2010). On the other hand, it seems that ...
متن کاملRobust multidimensional welfare comparisons : one vector of weights , one vote ∗
Many aspects of social welfare are intrinsically multidimensional. Composite indices attempting to reduce this complexity to a unique measure abound in many areas of economics and public policy. Comparisons based on such measures depend, sometimes critically, on how the different dimensions of performance are weighted. Thus, a policy maker maker may wish to take into account imprecision over co...
متن کاملEvaluating Poverty Indicators among Government-Supported Households: A Multidimensional Approach
Introduction: Poverty is an undesirable socio-economic phenomenon that endangers the political stability, social solidarity, and mental health of the different sections of society. The literature on poverty in recent years has not been limited to income poverty, but also to other aspects such as health, education, and living standards. By identifying patterns of poverty, instead of prejudging t...
متن کاملIntertemporal poverty comparisons
This paper deals with the problem of making general comparisons of well-being when wellbeing is measured in multiple dimensions. We note at the outset that much of the literature on the measurement of well-being incorporates multiple dimensional indicators of well-being by adding them up, such as when food and non-food expenditures are aggregated to compute total expenditures and assess monetar...
