They implement an adjustment procedure to restore comparability based on a methodology developed by Elbers and others (2003). The results indicate a less rapid decline of poverty, at the all-India level than has been suggested by Deaton and Dre (2002), based on a related adjustment methodology. The authors attempt to uncover the source of disagreement across these procedures, by probing a number of their underlying assumptions. 2014-04-25T14:14:08Z 2014-04-25T14:14:08Z 2003-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/10/2579638/poverty-india-during-1990s-regional-perspective http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18034 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 3141 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research South Asia India
