GROWTH AND INCOME POVERTY IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN: EVIDENCE FROM HOUSEHOLD SURVEYS
通过分析18个拉美国家1990年代至2000年代初的家庭调查数据，发现该地区经济增长和贫困变化模式多样，但多数国家减贫成效不佳，显著有利于穷人的增长很少见。
This paper provides evidence on growth and income poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Results are obtained by processing microdata from household surveys of 18 LAC countries covering the 1990s and early 2000s. Over this period the LAC economies experienced heterogeneous patterns of growth and poverty changes. Most countries in the region had a rather meager performance in terms of poverty reduction. Episodes of positive, significant and unambiguously pro‐poor income growth have been rare in Latin America.
