Setting Poverty Lines for Consumption-Based Welfare Measures: A Research Agenda

Nicola Amendola, Giulia Mancini and Giovanni Vecchi

No 10813, Policy Research Working Paper Series from The World Bank

Abstract: This paper presents a unified analytical framework to organize and review the literature on consumption-based poverty measurement, with a focus on establishing absolute poverty lines. Based on this framework, the paper identifies several gaps in the existing literature and areas where applied poverty analysts would benefit from sharper recommendations. Based on these considerations, the paper proposes some critical topics for further research.
