Multidimensional Poverty Measurement and Analysis : Chapter 9 – Distribution and Dynamics
Alkire, Sabina - 2015
For meaningful policy analysis, it is important not only to look at overall poverty, and compare countries or regions at a single point in time, but also to understand the distribution among the poor, the disparity across subgroups, and the dynamics of poverty. This extends the methodological...

Multidimensional Poverty Measurement and Analysis : Chapter 10 – Some Regression Models for Af Measures
Alkire, Sabina - 2015
This Chapter provides the reader with a general modelling framework for analysing the determinants of the Alkire and Foster (2011) poverty measures for both micro and macro levels of analyses. At the micro level, we present a model where the focal variable is a person's poverty status. At the...
