For the decomposability property is very a practical one in Welfare analysis, most researchers and users favor decomposable poverty indices such as the Foster-Greer-Thorbeck poverty index. This may lead to neglect the so important weighted…
We set in this paper a coherent theory based on functional empirical processes to consider both the poverty and the inequality indices in one Gaussian field enabling to study the influence of the one on the other. We use the General Poverty…
This paper promotes the application of a path-independent decomposition scheme. Besides presenting some theoretical arguments supporting this decomposition scheme, this study also illustrates the difference between the path-independent…
Do today's communication technologies hold potential to alleviate poverty? The mobile phone's accessibility and use allows us with an unprecedented volume of data on social interactions, mobility and more. Can this data help us better…
In the spirit of recent asymptotic works on the General Poverty Index (GPI) in the field of Welfare Analysis, the asymptotic representation of the non-decomposable Takayama's index, which has failed to be incorporated in the unified GPI…
Poverty status identification is the first obstacle to eradicating poverty. Village-level poverty identification is very challenging due to the arduous field investigation and insufficient information. The development of the Web…
This paper used a primary data collected through a surveys among farmers in rural Kedah to examine the effect of non farm income on poverty and income inequality. This paper employed two method, for the first objective which is to examine…
This paper develops a geometric diagnostic framework for classical inequality decomposability. Representing the simplest nontrivial setting of three-person income distributions as points on the two-dimensional income-share simplex, we…
Sustainable development is an imperative worldwide but metrics and data on poverty and quality of life have remained too coarse and abstract to characterize challenges adequately and guide practical progress. Nowhere is this challenge…
Many studies have predicted SocioEconomic Position (SEP) for aggregated spatial units such as villages using satellite data, but SEP prediction at the household level and other sources of imagery have not been yet explored. We assembled a…
Synthetic indices are used in Economics to measure various aspects of monetary inequalities. These scalar indices take as input the distribution over a finite population, for example the population of a specific country. In this article we…
The objective of this study is applying a utility based analysis to a comparatively efficient design experiment which can capture people's perception towards the various components of a commodity. Here we studied the multi-dimensional…
In this paper, we propose an estimator of Foster, Greer and Thorbecke class of measures $\displaystyle P(z,\alpha) = \int_0^{z}\Big(\frac{z-x}{z}\Big)^{\alpha}f(x)\, dx$, where $z>0$ is the poverty line, $f$ is the probabily density…
The Sen index and Sen-Shorrocks-Thon (SST) index are widely used measures of poverty indices. Developing reliable inference for these measures enables us to compare these measures in different populations of interest in an effective way. It…
We set general conditions under which the general poverty index, which summarizes all the available indices, is asymptotically represented with some empirical processes. This representation theorem offers a general key, in most directions,…
Accurate, fine-grained poverty maps remain scarce across much of the Global South. While Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) provide high-quality socioeconomic data, their spatial coverage is limited and reported coordinates are randomly…
This project began by constructing an index of economic insecurity using multiple socioeconomic indicators. Although poverty alone predicted SNAP participation more accurately than the composite index, its explanatory power was weaker than…
I generalize state-of-the-art approaches that decompose differences in the distribution of a variable of interest between two groups into a portion explained by covariates and a residual portion. The method that I propose relaxes the…
Inequality measures provide a valuable tool for the analysis, comparison, and optimization based on system models. This work studies the relation between attributes or features of an individual to understand how redundant, unique, and…
In this paper, a frequency coefficient based on the Sen-Shorrocks-Thon (SST) poverty index notion is proposed. The clustering SST index can be used as the method for determination of the connection between similar neighbor sub-clusters.…
