Resumen
Descripción
The paper describes the main
methodological issues underlying the estimation of poverty
rates for Croatia. Volume one focuses on the construction of
the consumption aggregate as a summary measure of living
standards which is the summary measure used to proxy living
standards. Special attention is devoted to the estimation of
the consumption flow from durable goods. Volume two focuses
on the estimation of the (absolute) poverty line. Both
elements are at the core of the poverty measurement
exercises carried out in two companion papers in this
volume. This paper is organized into three sections with the
first dealing with the construction of the consumption
aggregate. The second section describes the choice of the
equivalence scale used to adjust the consumption aggregate
for differences in household composition, and the third
section details the procedure used to estimate the poverty line.
