  • Small Area Estimation of Monetary Poverty in Mexico Using Satellite Imagery and Machine Learning

    Open AccessDavid Newhouse, Anusha Ramakrishnan et al.ARTICLEOxford Bulletin of Economics and…2025

    Estimates of poverty are an important input into policy formulation in developing countries, making the accurate measurement of poverty rates a first‐order problem for development policy. This paper shows that combining satellite imagery with household surveys can improve the accuracy and precision of estimated poverty rates in Mexican municipalities, a level at which the survey is not considered representative. It also shows that empirical best …

  • Malnourished but Not Destitute: The Spatial Interplay Between Nutrition and Poverty in Madagascar

    Open AccessDunstan Matekenya, Francis Mulangu et al.ARTICLEJournal of International…2025

    Hidden hunger is a global issue that affects an astounding 2 billion people, demanding targeted interventions for better resource allocation. However, conventional methods for identifying high‐prevalence areas often prove impractical in developing countries. This study introduces a cost‐effective and practical approach to detecting hidden hunger, combining household budget data with health surveys and applying these methods to Madagascar. By usin…

  • Improving Estimates of Mean Welfare and Uncertainty in Developing Countries

    Open AccessJoshua D Merfeld, Hai-Anh H Dang et al.BOOK2023

    Reliable estimates of economic welfare for small areas are valuable inputs into the design and evaluation of development policies. This paper compares the accuracy of point estimates and confidence intervals for small area estimates of wealth and poverty derived from four different prediction methods: linear mixed models, Cubist regression, extreme gradient boosting, and boosted regression forests. The evaluation draws samples from unit-level hou…

  • Global Trends in Child Monetary Poverty According to International Poverty Lines

    Open AccessDaylan Salmeron Gomez, Sólrún Engilbertsdóttir et al.BOOK2023

    This paper analyzes extreme child poverty ($2.15/day poverty line) trends, as well as child poverty based on the higher international poverty lines of $3.65 and $6.85. The paper provides a trajectory of extreme child poverty (children living in extremely poor households) from 2013 to 2019 (based on the most recent surveys included in the Global Monitoring Database), complemented by nowcasting for 2020 to 2022. Children continue to be disproportio…

    The April 2022 update to the newly launched Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP) involves several changes to the data underlying the global poverty estimates. Some welfare aggregates have been changed for improved harmonization, and the CPI, national accounts, and population input data have been updated. This document explains these changes in detail and the reasoning behind them. Moreover, a large number of new country-years have been added, br…

  • What do we Know about Poverty in India in 2017/18?

    Ifeanyi Nzegwu Edochie, Samuel Freije-Rodriguez et al.BOOK2022

    This paper nowcasts poverty in India, \n one of the countries with the largest population below the \n international poverty line of $1.90 per person per day. \n Because the latest official household survey dates back to \n 2011/12, there is considerable uncertainty about recent \n poverty trends in the country. Applying a pass-through and \n survey-to-survey methodology, extreme poverty (at the $1.90 \n poverty line) for India in 2017 is estimat…

  • Foregone healthcare during the Covid-19 pandemic: Early survey estimates from 39 low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessJakub Kakietek, Jakub Jan Kakietek et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2022

    In addition to the direct health effects of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the pandemic has increased the risks of foregone non-COVID-19 healthcare. Likely, these risks are greatest in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where health systems are less resilient and economies more fragile. However, there are no published studies on the prevalence of foregone healthcare in LMICs during the pandemic. We used pooled data from phone…

  • Nowcasting Global Poverty

    Open AccessR Andrés Castañeda Aguilar, Daniel Gerszon Mahler et al.BOOK2021

    This paper evaluates different methods for nowcasting country-level poverty rates, including methods that apply statistical learning to large-scale country-level data obtained from the World Development Indicators and Google Earth Engine. The methods are evaluated by withholding measured poverty rates and determining how accurately the methods predict the held-out data. A simple approach that scales the last observed welfare distribution by a fra…

  • Estimating Poverty in India without Expenditure Data: A Survey-to-Survey Imputation Approach

    David Newhouse, Pallavi VyasBOOK2019

    This paper applies an innovative method to estimate poverty in India in the absence of recent expenditure data. The method utilizes expenditure data from 2004-05, 2009-10, and 2011-12 to impute household expenditure into a survey of durable goods expenditure conducted in 2014-15. At the $1.90 per day international poverty line, the preferred model predicts a 2014-15 head- count poverty rate of 10 percent in urban areas and 16.4 percent in rural a…

    This paper presents a new demographic profile of extreme and moderate poverty, defined as those living on less than $1.90 and between $1.90 and $3.10 per day in 2013, based on household survey data from 89 developing countries. The face of poverty is primarily rural and young; 80% of the extreme poor and 75% of the moderate poor live in rural areas. Over 45% of the extreme poor are children younger than 15 years old, and nearly 60% of the extreme…

  • Can public works programs reduce youth crime? Evidence from Papua New Guinea’s Urban Youth Employment Project

    Open AccessOleksiy Ivaschenko, Darian Naidoo et al.ARTICLEIZA Journal of Development and…2017References: 3

    Crime rates in Papua New Guinea’s capital city of Port Moresby are among the highest in the world. Few youth work, and good jobs are scarce. In 2013, the National Capital District Commission partnered with the World Bank to implement the Urban Youth Employment Project. The project offers out-of-school and out-of-work youth 2 months of public works employment or, for academically qualified candidates, 6 months of classroom and on-the-job training.…
