A Multi-dimensional Approach to Subjective Poverty
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses two key issues in modern policyoriented poverty research. First, we recognize that poverty is an individual feeling and not an objective status. This leads to an operational definition of subjective poverty as being below a certain degree of satisfaction. Second, we distinguish several domains of life, and consequently, several types of poverty, each pertaining to a specific life domain. It is found that, although the chance on being poor in one domain enhances the chance to be poor in another domain, it is justified to see poverty as a multi-dimensional concept. Poverty 'with life as a whole' may be decomposed into poverty components with respect to life domains. JEL-code: D310; I300; I310; I320.

Usually the analysis is also restricted to economic deprivation and misery. However, even if most researchers seem to agree on this general definition, there has been a lot of discussion about the best approach to measure poverty. Thus, during recent years there hav...
متن کاملThe modified degenerate kernel method for the multi-dimensional Fredholm integral equations of the second kind
In this paper, to investigate the multi-dimensional Fredholm integral equations of the second kind a modified degenerate kernel method is used. To construct the mentioned modified, the source function is approximated by the same method which employed to obtain a degenerate approximation of the kernel. The Lagrange interpolation method is used to make the needed approximations. The error and ...
