  • A New Distribution Sensitive Index for Measuring Welfare, Poverty, and Inequality

    Open AccessAart Kraay, Christoph Lakner et al.BOOK2023

    Simple welfare indices such as mean income are ubiquitous but not distribution sensitive. In contrast, existing distribution sensitive welfare indices are rarely used, often because they are difficult to explain and/or lack intuitive units. This paper proposes a simple new distribution sensitive welfare index with intuitive units: the average factor by which individual incomes must be multiplied to attain a given reference level of income. This n…

  • 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…

  • The Impact of Covid-19 on Global Inequality and Poverty

    Nishant Yonzan, Daniel Gerszon Mahler et al.BOOK2022

    The COVID-19 pandemic has had \n catastrophic economic and human consequences worldwide. This \n paper tries to quantify the consequences of the pandemic on \n global inequality and poverty in 2020. Since face-to-face \n household survey data collection largely came to a halt \n during the pandemic, a combination of data sources is used \n to estimate the impacts on poverty and inequality. This \n includes actual household survey data, where avai…
