| Zusammenfassung: | In this paper we examine the mathematical relationship between growth
and distributional change on absolute (i.e. percentage point) changes
in FGT poverty measures assuming a log-normal distribution. We also
test the empirical relationship of the derived semi-elasticities of growth
and distributional change on poverty and find them to explain changes
in poverty very well (in fact, better than a related study by Bourguignon
(2003) that studied the 'regular' growth elasticity of poverty
reduction). This relationship will allow us to predict where growth
and distributional change will have the largest (absolute) impact on
poverty reduction, which is very useful for predicting and analyzing
progress towards meeting MDG1. |
