MULTIDIMENSIONAL FUZZY POVERTY AND PRO-POOR GROWTH MEASURES IN NONMONETARY DIMENSIONS IN EGYPT BETWEEN 1995 AND 2005

BERENGER, VALÉRIE - In: Middle East Development Journal (MEDJ) 02 (2010) 01, pp. 15-38

The main goal of this paper is to adopt a multidimensional approach to poverty that goes beyond focusing on a unidimensional measure of income or expenditure when attempting to ascertain the main aspects of the living conditions of households. In order to obtain multidimensional poverty measures...

Multidimensional poverty: Restricted and unrestricted hierarchy among poverty dimensions

Esposito, Lucio; Martinetti, Enrica Chiappero - In: Journal of Applied Economics XIII (2010) November, pp. 181-204

The increasing interest in multidimensional poverty and well-being analysis has added complexity to the way these phenomena are conceptualized and measured. When multiple attributes are considered, a criterion determining the relative importance attached to the different dimensions has to be...

Some Considerations Regarding the Problem of Multidimensional Utility

Binder, Martin - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009

The concept of 'utility' is often used in ambiguous ways in economics, from having substantive psychological connotations to being a formal placeholder representing a person's preferences. In the accounts of the early utilitarians, it was a multidimensional measure that has been condensed during...

Multidimensional Adaptive Testing with a Minimum Error-Variance Criterion

Linden, Wim J. van der - In: Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics 24 (1999) 4, pp. 398-412

Adaptive testing under a multidimensional logistic response model is addressed. An algorithm is proposed that minimizes the (asymptotic) variance of the maximum-likelihood estimator of a linear combination of abilities of interest. The criterion results in a closed-form expression that is easy...
