Measuring Poverty Persistence

No 022-02, LISER Working Paper Series from Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER)

Abstract: This chapter reviews the literature on the measurement of poverty persistence. The review has two parts. We first cover the literature on poverty persistence indicators which develops “principled”, descriptive summary measures. We then review the econometric literature which teases out the determinants of poverty persistence. Finally, we describe the challenges and limitations the literature on poverty persistence face.
