Looking forward: theory-based measures of chronic poverty and vulnerability
Michael Carter and Munenobu Ikegami (2007)
Working Paper No. 94
Conventional poverty analysis is ill-equipped to answer questions concerning the future persistence of observed poverty. Are those observed to be poor at a particular point in time chronically poor, or are they simply in a transitory state? While a number of analysts have struggled with this...
Subjective assessments, participatory methods and poverty dynamics: The Stages-of-Progress method
Anirudh Krishna (2007)
Working Paper No. 93
The Stages-of-Progress methodology helps examine households’ movements out of poverty and into poverty. More important, it helps uncover the reasons responsible for these movements, thereby feeding directly into policy formulation. I present the steps in this methodology, discussing briefly...
The politics of what works: the case of the Vulnerable Group Development Programme in Bangladesh
Naomi Hossain (2007)
Working Paper No. 92
This paper explores the political dimensions of the achievements of the Vulnerable Group Development (VGD) programme in Bangladesh, a large-scale programme of resource transfers and development interventions targeted at the poorest women, which has been in place since 1974. It focuses on...
The Politics of What Works in Reducing Chronic Poverty. A synthesis report for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Netherlands
Sam Hickey (2007)
Working Paper No. 91
There is a growing consensus concerning the forms of politics that are most likely to lead to successful forms of pro-poor policy, including the role of decentralisation and civil society, evidence-based policy and the opening of policy to the poor. This paper critically explores this consensus by...
Estimation and determination of chronic poverty in India: an alternative approach
R. Radhakrishna, K. Hanumantha Rao, C. Ravi and B. Sambi Reddy (2007)
Working Paper No. 90
The chronically poor are generally identified using longitudinal household panel data on income or expenditure. The basic motivation for our approach is to overcome the absence of a nationally representative panel data in analysing chronic poverty issues. A household is identified as chronically...
Chronic poverty and all that: the measurement of poverty over time
Cesar Calvo and Stefan Dercon (2007)
Working Paper No. 89
We explore how to measure poverty over time, by focusing on trajectories of poverty rather than poverty at a particular point in time. We consider welfare outcomes over a period in time, consisting of a number of spells. We offer a characterization of desirable properties for measuring poverty...
Choosing dimensions: the capability approach and multidimensional poverty
Sabina Alkire (2007)
Working Paper No. 88
The capability approach defines poverty as a deprivation of capabilities, as a lack of multiple freedoms people value and have reason to value. Chronic poverty focuses attention on that subset of poor persons whose capability deprivations endure across time. But how should the dimensions of chronic...
The Construction of an Asset Index Measuring Asset Accumulation in Ecuador
Caroline Moser and Andrew Felton (2007)
Working Paper No. 87
Development economists have increasingly advocated using assets to complement income and consumption-based measures of welfare and wealth in developing countries, and thus to extend our understanding of the multi-dimensional character of poverty and the complexity of the processes underlying...
Annotated bibliography on social exclusion, adverse incorporation and chronic poverty (CPRC Annotated Bibliographies No 5)
Briony Smith with Sam Hickey (2007)
Working Paper No. 86
The persistence of poverty is strongly connected to processes of adverse incorporation and
social exclusion (AI-SE). Commissioned by CPRC, this annotated bibliography explores both
the latest thinking on social exclusion within development studies and the more historical
social exclusion (AI-SE). Commissioned by CPRC, this annotated bibliography explores both

Changes in living standards in villages in India 1975-2004. Revisiting the ICRISAT village level studies
Reena Badiani, Stefan Dercon, Pramila Krishnan and K. P. C. Rao (2007)
Working Paper No. 85
This paper examines changes in living conditions in the six villages in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, initially surveyed during 1975-84. We link the original Village Level Survey (VLS) households to a new survey in the villages conducted during 2001-04 and further extensive survey work in...
