  • Social Aggregations and Distributional Ethics

    Open AccessSatya R Chakravarty, MANIPUSHPAK MITRA et al.BOOKSocial Aggregations and…2023

    This book analyzes the following four distinct, although not dissimilar, areas of social choice theory and welfare economics: nonstrategic choice, Harsanyi's aggregation theorems, distributional ethics and strategic choice. While for aggregation of individual ranking of social states, whether the persons behave strategically or non-strategically, the decision making takes place under complete certainty; in the Harsanyi framework uncertainty has a…

  • On the probability ratio index as a measure of electoral competition

    Open AccessSatya R Chakravarty, MANIPUSHPAK MITRA et al.ARTICLEPalgrave Communications2020

    This paper deals with the fundamental issue of quantifying the degree of competitiveness underlying an election in a society. That is, given the vote shares of competing political parties in the election one needs to arrive at a representative metric of electoral competition. The vote share of a party represents its influence on the outcome of the election. A summary measure of differences of such influences across parties, aggregated in an unamb…

  • Multidimensional Indicators of Inequality and Poverty

    Satya R Chakravarty, Satya Chakravarty et al.BOOKThe Oxford Handbook of Well-Being…2016

    This chapter reviews the main features of multidimensional indices of inequality and poverty. For each of these cases, the discussion is divided into two approaches: a direct approach, where desirable properties are specified and a measure of inequality or poverty obtained; and the inclusive measure of well-being approach, where an index of individual well-being is defined in a first step, and the measure of inequality or poverty obtained in a se…

  • Reference groups and the poverty line

    Satya R Chakravarty, Nachiketa Chattopadhyay et al.BOOKReference groups and the poverty…2015

    A recent trend in the study of poverty is to consider a relative poverty line, one that is responsive to the nature of the income distribution. We develop an axiomatic approach to the determination of an amalgam poverty line. Given a reference income (e.g. the mean or the median), the amalgam poverty line becomes a weighted average of the absolute poverty line and the reference income, where the weights depend on the policy maker’s preferences fo…

  • Millennium Development Goals

    Satya R Chakravarty, Amita MajumderARTICLEJournal of Human Development2008

    The Millennium Development Goals are time‐bound quantified targets for improving the human condition from different perspectives. Within each Goal several targets have been set, and to each target there corresponds one or more indicators. For each indicator we axiomatically characterize an index of perceived progress towards reaching the Goals such that it can be used for monitoring progress. We also present a composite index of progress, which a…

  • The Measurement of Social Exclusion

    Open AccessSatya R Chakravarty, Conchita D''Ambrosio et al.ARTICLEReview of Income and Wealth2006

    This paper develops an axiomatic approach to the measurement of social exclusion. At the individual level, social exclusion is viewed in terms of deprivation of the person concerned with respect to different functionings in the society. At the aggregate level we treat social exclusion as a function of individual exclusions. The class of subgroup decomposable social exclusion measures using a set of independent axioms is identified. We then look a…

  • Measuring Human Poverty

    Satya R Chakravarty, Amita MajumderARTICLEJournal of Human Development2005

    The Human Poverty Index (HPI) is a composite index of poverty that focuses on deprivations in human lives, aimed at measuring poverty as a failure in capabilities in multiple dimensions, in contrast to the conventional headcount measure focused on low incomes. The HPI was introduced in the United Nations Development Programme Human Development Report 1997 and concentrates on deprivations in basic dimensions of life. This paper develops an axiomat…

  • A Family of Multidimensional Poverty Measures

    Open AccessFrançois Bourguignon, Satya R ChakravartyCHAPTERAdvances in Econometrics, Income…1999

    Removal of poverty has been and continues to be one of the primary aims of economic policy in many countries. Two important questions that arise in this context are: What exactly do we mean by poverty? In what sense do we say that poverty of a nation has increased or decreased over a certain time period? The first question addresses the problem of ‘perception of poverty’. The second question deals with ‘measurement of poverty’. In this paper we a…
