This article traces a methodological path for constructing statistically and normatively validated assets indicator, that in turn can be used within an internationally comparable measure of multidimensional poverty. The validates revision to the indicator global Multidimensional Poverty Index (global MPI) makes best possible use existing data. Our normative focus is shaped by Amartya Sen’s capa...

The aim of our paper is to construct a multidimensional financial inclusion (FI) index measure the level FI in 91 countries across different income groups. In order address research problem, we use principal component analysis method. This approach addresses criticism arbitrary selection weights and reflects degree depth. data are drawn from International Monetary Fund (IMF) Financial Access Su...

Existing methods for the management of multidimensional data typically do not scale well with an increased number of dimensions or require the unsupported augmentation of the kernel. However, the use of multidimensional data continues to grow in modern database applications, specifically in spatio-temporal databases. These systems produce vast volumes of multidimensional data, and as such, data...

For a change in prices, the common-scaling social cost-of-living index is the equal scaling of each individual’s expenditure level needed to restore the level of social welfare to its prechange value. This index does not, in general, satisfy two standard index-number tests. The reversal test requires the index value for the reverse change to be the reciprocal of the original index. And the circ...
