Ethically Flexible Measures of Poverty
本文利用截断收入分布对应的代表性收入概念,提出了新的相对和绝对贫困度量方法,这些方法在所有情况下都满足Sen提出的单调性和转移公理。
Abstract This paper introduces new measures of both relative and absolute poverty using the notion of representative income of a community corresponding to the censored income distribution. These new measures satisfy the monotonicity and transfer axioms proposed by Sen (1976) in all cases.
