Tracking Poverty Over Time in the Absence of Comparable Consumption Data
提出一种经济直观且成本低廉的方法，在缺乏定期可比家庭消费数据时，利用家庭预算调查和资产数据系列来持续追踪贫困，并以肯尼亚人口健康调查为例说明。
Following the endorsement by the international community of the Millennium Development Goals, there has been an increasing demand for practical methods for steadily tracking poverty. An economically intuitive and inexpensive methodology is explored for doing so in the absence of regular, comparable data on household consumption. The minimum data requirements for this methodology are the availability of a household budget survey and a series of surveys with a comparable set of asset data also contained in the budget survey. This method is illustrated using a series of Demographic and Health Surveys for Kenya.
