multidimensional poverty

In our thematic panel on Measuring poverty, deprivation and wellbeing in advanced economies at the annual conference of the HDCA, I present insights of ongoing research on multidimensional poverty dynamics and the mismatch between monetary and multidimensional poverty measures in European countries.

In this blog entry I explain a recently developed approach to use simulations for multidimensional poverty when even contemporary micro-data are unavailable. In our application we use the global Multidimensional Poverty Index but this approach is applicable and potentially useful for other development indicators as well.

In my talk On track or not? Projecting the global multidimensional poverty index at the VI Congreso Internacional de Estudios del Desarrollo, I present insights of this ongoing research with implications for other development indicators.

This paper presents mpitb a toolbox for multidimensional poverty indices (MPI). The Stata package mpitb comprises several subcommands to facilitate specification, estimation, and analyses of MPIs. The toolbox offers several benefits to researchers, analysts and practitioners working on MPIs.

In this article we share some reflections on using simulation techniques in the analysis of multidimensional poverty.

In this joint webinar of the Human Develpoment Report Office (HDRO), the Institute for International Economic Policy (IIEP) and OPHI, I present results of our paper On track or not? in which we develop modelling framework for computing projections of global multidimensional poverty.

This 51st Methodological Note presents the methodology and technical decisions behind the global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) 2021.

During the virtual conference of the International Society for Quality of Life Studies (ISQOLS) we have a symposium on multidimensional poverty. I also present further papers in other sessions.

The global MPI was revised in 2018. This paper provides an empirical analysis of the revised global MPI, including the robustness of country orderings to changes in key parameters. The paper also compares of revised and original specification.

During the Western Economic Association International (WEAI) conference 2021, we have a session on multidimensional poverty, including presentation by Gaston Yalonetzky, Maria Emma Santos, Suman Seth and myself. Moreover, I also present ongoing work on regional disparities.
