Measuring the Intensity of Poverty among Subpopulations: Applications to the United States
提出一种衡量群体内部贫困强度相对于所属总体的方法，构建了易于解释且满足多项优良性质的贫困强度指数，并利用1980年美国人口普查数据测算了不同种族、居住地和地理位置的贫困强度。
This paper proposes an approach to measuring the intensity of poverty within a group, relative to that of the population to which the group belongs. A poverty intensity index is presented which is easy to interpret and satisfies a number of desirable properties. The intensity of poverty among racial and residential groups, in various geographical locations, is measured using 1980 United States Census data.
