The incidence of these flows on the welfare of internally displaced persons is not well understood. This paper attempts to fill this gap in the literature by investigating the link between internal displacement and multidimensional poverty, using one of the most comprehensive household surveys for poverty analysis in Iraq. The results show crucial differences between internally displaced and non-displaced households with respect to multidimensional poverty. Furthermore, instrumental variable regression analysis suggests that the relationship is causal, that is, the probabilities of multidimensional and monetary poverty are higher because of internal displacement. 2020-04-10T17:52:40Z 2020-04-10T17:52:40Z 2020-04 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/168141586192933559/Multidimensional-Poverty-Assessment-of-Internally-Displaced-Persons-in-Iraq http://hdl.handle.net/10986/33577 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 9203 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Middle East and North Africa Iraq
