This paper describes the database The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI): Harmonised Level Estimates and their Changes over Time. The database covers estimates for 84 countries and 814 subnational regions for up to four points of observation. Estimates are based on 211 individual survey datasets.

This paper proposes a framework for the analysis of micro-level dynamics which are inherent to measures of multidimensional poverty. The framework is illustrated using panel data of the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) for more than 20 countries over 2016–2020.

This paper provides an analysis of deprivation interlinkages using the global multidimensional poverty index (MPI). We suggest to distinguish deprivation profiles, bundles, and co-deprivations to illuminate particular aspects of the joint distribution.

In this paper I offer a proposal how to conceptualize work within the capability approach. The paper also discusses policy handles, offers suggestions for particular applications, and identifies several other benefits for labour economics.
