Chronic Poverty and Understanding Intra-Household Differentiation

Kate Bird (2003)

CPRC-IIPA Working Paper
Until recently the household was taken to be an undifferentiated entity for the purposes of data collection and social and economic analysis. Even where researchers want to look at intrahousehold differentiation it can be difficult due to inadequate individual level data on dietary intake,...

Issues in Chronic Poverty: Panel Data based Analysis

Aasha Kapur Mehta and Shashanka Bhide (2003)

CPRC-IIPA Working Paper
The distinction between chronic or extended duration poverty and transient poverty is rarely made in the substantial literature on poverty in India. Determination of poverty as chronic or temporary requires that the same households be tracked over time through a panel data set and/or use of life or...

Chronic Poverty in a Remote Rural District in South West Madhya Pradesh: A Multidimensional Analysis of Its Extent and Causes

Amita Shah and D.C. Sah (2003)

Drivers of Escape and Descent: Changing Household Fortunes in Rural Bangladesh

Binayek, Sen (2003)

PRCPB Working Paper
This paper analyses a panel dataset on 379 rural households in Bangladesh interviewed in 1987/88 and 2000.
