An Alternative Approach to Poverty Analysis

Economic Systems Research, 2003, vol. 15, issue 2, 113-133

Abstract: A model of the household in which production and consumption activities are not separable is developed in order to provide micro-economic foundations for an alternative to the standard approach to poverty analysis. The alternative suggests that socio-economic groups and their respective livelihoods should be the basic building blocks for analysing poverty within a general equilibrium framework.
