The individual poverty incidence of growth
Lo Bue, Maria C.; Palmisano, Flaviana - 2019
The canonical approach to analysing the poverty impact of growth is based on the comparison of poverty before and after growth. Measurement tools that endorse this approach fail to capture the different experiences of poverty dynamics in the population: there can be groups of the population made...
