simulations

In this talk we provide an overview of research on multidimensional poverty measurement and analysis. We cover the dual cutoff counting approach, its direct antecedents, the global multidimensional poverty index and related research.

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