Duclos, D. Sahn & S.D. Younger Summary This book explores the latest developments in the field of multidimensional poverty measurement poverty measurement. It includes clear presentations of more than a dozen different quantitative techniques based respectively on information and fuzzy sets theory, the Rasch model, Factor, Cluster and Multiple Correspondence and Analysis, MIMIC and structural equations models, efficiency analysis, axiomatic, subjective and ordinal approaches to the topic. The book provides empirical illustrations based on data sources from developed or developing countries. This book aims at contributing to the debate concerning multidimensional poverty measurement. Progress in this domain will not be possible if the various approaches available are not known to those working in the field. Unfortunately several of them seem to have been completely ignored by many specialists. This book represents, therefore, a unique opportunity to become familiar with the present state of the knowledge Analysis inkomensverdeling income distribution armoede poverty meting measurement kwantitatieve technieken quantitative techniques wiskundige modellen mathematical models meetsystemen measurement systems Income Distribution Inkomensverdeling Notes Papers originally presented at an international conference in Brasilia on August 29-31, 2005 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Master and use copy.
