The Counting Approach to Multidimensional Food Security Measurement: The Case of Israel

Miri Endeweld and Jacques Silber

A chapter in Inequality, Taxation and Intergenerational Transmission, 2018, vol. 26, pp 89-108 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: Using data on food insecurity in Israel, this chapter suggests borrowing techniques from the literature on multidimensional poverty to measure food insecurity, a distinction being made between “nominal” and “real” food insecurity. Various counting techniques are then implemented, including the well-known approach of Alkire and Foster. The chapter ends with a section where, following recent work byDhongde, Li, Pattanaik, and Xu (2016), a distinction is also made between “basic” and “non-basic” dimensions of food insecurity.
