This volume of Research on Economic Inequality contains research on
how we measure poverty, inequality and welfare and how these
measurements contribute towards policies for social mobility. The
volume contains eleven papers, some of which focus on the uneven
impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on poverty and welfare. Opening
with debates on theoretical issues that lie at the forefront of the
measurement of inequality and poverty literature, the first two
chapters go on to propose new methods for measuring wellbeing and
inequality in multidimensional categorical environments, and for
measuring pro-poor growth in a Bayesian setting. The following
three papers present theoretical innovations for measuring poverty
and inequality, namely, in estimating the dynamic probability of
being poor using a Bayesian approach, and when presented with
ordinal variables. The next three chapters are contributions on
empirical methods in the measurement of poverty, inclusive economic
growth and mobility, with a focus on India, Israel and a unique
longitudinal dataset for Chile. The volume concludes with three
chapters exploring the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic as an
economic shock on income and wealth poverty in EU countries and in
an Argentinian city slum.
