评述Hagenaars的《贫困的感知》,重点介绍和评估莱顿学派测量个人收入福利函数的方法,该方法声称福利可在0-1尺度上测量,并利用该理论框架讨论欧洲贫困的大量材料。
This review of Hagenaars' The Perception of Poverty gives a lengthy presentation and evaluation of the Leyden approach of measuring the individual welfare function of income. The key feature of the approach is the claim that welfare can be measured on a 0,1 scale. The review discusses the book's wealth of material on poverty in Europe within this theoretical framework.
