TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed the use of sequential dominance procedures to test the "pro-poorness" of observed growth spells when poverty is measured on the basis of income and another discrete well-being attribute.Abstract:
This paper represents a first attempt to bring together the issues of multidimensional poverty and growth “pro-poorness” assessments. More specifically, we suggest the use of sequential dominance procedures to test the “pro-poorness” of observed growth spells when poverty is measured on the basis of income and another discrete well-being attribute. Sequential procedures are also used to obtain graphical tools that are consistent with the spirit of Ravallion and Chen's growth incidence curve and Son's poverty growth curve. Contrary to traditional unidimensional tests, our method makes it possible to take into account the importance of deprivation correlations at the individual level and thus may reverse results observed with the traditional tools used to check the “pro-poorness” of growth. An illustration of our approach is given using Turkish data for the period 2003–05.read more

Measuring Vulnerability to Multidimensional Poverty
TL;DR: In this article, a method to measure vulnerability to multidimensional poverty is proposed under a mean-risk behavior approach, called the vulnerability to multi-dimensional poverty index (VMPI).

The Elasticity of Poverty with respect to Sectoral Growth in Africa

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the elasticity of poverty with respect to GDP growth at the sectoral level and take into account the fact that economic growth may affect poverty directly as well as indirectly through sectoral labor share intensity.

How Income Growth Differs with Children in Spain: a Comparative European Perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare patterns of income growth for households with and without children in several European countries, as well as evaluate the uneven impact of the crisis and the policies adopted after the crisis in both types of household across different countries.

Poverty: An Ordinal Approach to Measurement
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new measure of poverty, which should avoid some of the shortcomings of the measures currently in use, and used an axiomatic approach to derive the measure.

On the measurement of poverty
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors re-examine three basic issues in measuring poverty: the choice of the poverty line, the index of poverty, and the relation between poverty and inequality.

Measuring pro-poor growth

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measure the rate of pro-poor growth by the mean growth rate of the poor, which equals the change in the Watts index of poverty normalized by the headcount index.

The Comparison of Multi-Dimensioned Distributions of Economic Status
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make use of results on multi-variate stochastic dominance in portfolio theory, extending these and applying them to the measurement of inequality, and use the dominance conditions to the international distribution of income and life expectancy.
