How global poverty is measured is a critical element in assessing progress towards this goal, and different researchers have presented widely-varying estimates. The chapters in this volume address a range of problems in the measurement and esti... (展开全部) 我来说两句 短评 ··· 热门 还没...
vulnerability.Thelatterapproach is very similar to the measurement of poverty, where a society’s poverty is the aggregate sum of individual poverty levels (see Sen 1976). An individual can be vulnerable to falling below a threshold across sev- eral dimensions, such as health, food consumption ...
This paper attempts to broaden the scope of poverty measurement. First, a brief review of measurements based on monetary and nutritional norms is presented. Then, it is suggested that data on the proportion spent on food (PSF) by per capita expenditure can be exploited to measure the incidence...

However, understanding the causality of the relationship between poverty ...

Finally, we winsorize the consumption distributions at 50 cents per person per day. Consumption levels below that would reflect a daily caloric intake that is probably impossible to sustain over periods of time, and therefore probably reflect measurement error. This winsorization affects 0.4% of the...
