Abstract: Evaluation of the poverty impact and targeting performance of a given social program may depend on how other programs are treated in the analysis. Using well‐known results from cooperative game theory, this paper proposes an empirically simple yet theoretically sound method for allocating between various programs the overall poverty reduction obtained from a set of programs, and for assessing the targeting performance of each program.
