Ethically Flexible Measures of Poverty

Satya Chakravarty

A chapter in Poverty, Social Exclusion and Stochastic Dominance, 2019, pp 13-26 from Springer

Abstract: 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.
