Measuring Changes in Poverty: A Methodological Case Study of Indonesia during an Adjustment Period
Abstract
Analysis of the effects of policy changes on the poor is often hindered by the difficulties inherent in measuring poverty and comparing levels of poverty before and after policy changes. This article outlines two techniques which can overcome many of these measurement problems: stochastic dominance conditions, which can facilitate a robust poverty ranking of distributions of living standards; and a decomposable poverty index, which allows measured changes in aggregate poverty to be disaggregated into their various components, such as the changes among population subgroups, and growth and redistributive components. These techniques can be applied to a wide range of indicators of economic well-being and poverty lines, and to assumptions about the poor. The approaches are illustrated using household survey data from Indonesia before and after external shocks and the subsequent structural adjustment program in the mid-1980s. The study finds that favorable initial conditions and a pro-poor pattern of growth enabled Indonesia to maintain its momentum in poverty alleviation during the period.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
