Resumen
Descripción
Widespread agreement that poverty is a
multifaceted phenomenon, encompassing deprivations along
multiple dimensions, clashes with often vociferous
disagreement about how best to measure these deprivations.
Drawing on the recent literature, this short note proposes
three methodological alternatives to the false dichotomy
between scalar indices of multidimensional poverty, on the
one hand, and a "dashboard" approach that looks
only at marginal distributions, on the other. These
alternatives include simple Venn diagrams of the overlap of
deprivations across dimensions, multivariate stochastic
dominance analysis, and the analysis of copula functions,
which capture the extent of interdependency across
dimensions. Examples from the literature on both developing
and developed countries are provided.
