Using Repeated Cross-Sections to Explore Movements in and out of Poverty
Movements in and out of poverty are of core interest to both policymakers and economists. Yet the panel data needed to analyze such movements are rare. In this paper, the authors build on the methodology used to construct poverty maps to show how r...

Movements in and out of poverty are of
core interest to both policymakers and economists. Yet the
panel data needed to analyze such movements are rare. In
this paper, the authors build on the methodology used to
construct poverty maps to show how repeated cross-sections
of household survey data can allow inferences to be made
about movements in and out of poverty. They illustrate that
the method permits the estimation of bounds on mobility, and
provide non-parametric and parametric approaches to
obtaining these bounds. They test how well the method works
on data sets for Vietnam and Indonesia where we are able to
compare our method to true panel estimates. The results are
sufficiently encouraging to offer the prospect of some
limited, basic, insights into mobility and poverty duration
in settings where historically it was judged that the data
necessary for such analysis were unavailable. |
