Growth and Poverty Revisited from a Multidimensional Perspective
使用全球多维贫困指数,发现经济增长虽能减少多维贫困,但效果远低于对收入贫困的影响,且出口、工业服务业占比和反腐力度更高的国家多维贫困更低。
The actual impact of economic growth on poverty reduction is of fundamental importance to the development agenda. This paper offers new empirical evidence on growth and poverty measured from a multidimensional perspective using the global Multidimensional Poverty Index. Results from a First Difference Estimator Model suggest that while economic growth reduces multidimensional poverty, this impact is well below a one-to-one relationship and lower than the impact of growth on income poverty. Results from a cross-section model additionally suggest that countries with higher levels of exports, higher share of industry and services and higher control of corruption have lower multidimensional poverty.
