projections

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.

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.

In this paper we evaluate the potential impact of COVID-19 and policy responses on global multidimensional poverty. Our results suggest a potential global setback to poverty reduction of around 9 years.

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.

In this paper we compute projections of global multidimensional poverty. We consider and evaluate different approaches to model the trajectories of countries’ achieved and future poverty reduction. Our preferred model respects theoretical bounds, is supported by empirical evidence, and ensures consistency of our main measure with its sub-indices.
