Measuring Vulnerability to Poverty

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

A method based on Monte Carlo bootstrap estimations of consumption changes was developed to measure vulnerability to poverty. The method was applied to data on Cote d'Ivoire in 1985-86. It revealed potential difficulties faced by households, which were obscured when historical records were used to determine the extent of vulnerabilities.
