Poverty and inequality remain at the top of the global economic
agenda, and the methodology of measuring poverty continues to be a
key area of research. This new book, from a leading international
group of scholars, offers an up to date and innovative survey of
new methods for estimating poverty at the local level, as well as
the most recent multidimensional methods of the dynamics of
poverty. It is argued here that measures of poverty and inequality
are most useful to policy-makers and researchers when they are
finely disaggregated into small geographic units. Poverty and
Social Exclusion: New Methods of Analysis is the first attempt to
compile the most recent research results on local estimates of
multidimensional deprivation. The methods offered here take both
traditional and multidimensional approaches, with a focus on using
the methodology for the construction of time-related measures of
deprivation at the individual and aggregated levels. In analysis of
persistence over time, the book also explores whether the level of
deprivation is defined in terms of relative inequality in society,
or in relation to some supposedly absolute standard. This book is
of particular importance as the continuing international economic
and financial crisis has led to the impoverishment of segments of
population as a result of unemployment, bankruptcy, and
difficulties in obtaining credit. The volume will therefore be of
interest to all those working on economic, econometric and
statistical methods and empirical analyses in the areas of poverty,
social exclusion and income inequality.
