The Asymptotic Theory of the Kakwani Class of Poverty Measures

Given independent observations of the income or the expense variable of some population, with underlying distribution G, given a poverty line Z, we study the Kakwani class of poverty measures. This measure is one of the most important tools for monitoring poverty in Economics. Here, we complete our asymptotic normality theory for poverty measures by a special study for the Kakwani index and for the Sen measure which is a special case of Kakwani's indexes
