Explaining the Evolution of Poverty: The Case of Mozambique
以莫桑比克为例，整合多源数据，开发了一种将动态可计算一般均衡模型与微观模拟贫困模块相结合的“回溯”框架，用于解释和分解贫困演变，并检验贫困、经济增长与不平等之间的一致性。
We provide a comprehensive approach for analyzing the evolution of poverty using Mozambique as a case study. Bringing together data from disparate sources, we develop a novel “back‐casting” framework that links a dynamic computable general equilibrium model to a micro‐simulation poverty module. This framework provides a new approach to explaining and decomposing the evolution of poverty, as well as to examining rigorously the coherence between poverty, economic growth, and inequality outcomes. Finally, various simple but useful and rarely‐applied approaches to considering regional changes in poverty rates are presented.
