Dear All,
First of all thank you for your post. Given datasets for Period 1 and Period 2 of household surveys, negative (positive) growth in income between the periods (all else equal) to leads to rise (fall) in poverty rate and a discrete shift in inequality (if we not not assumed this to be constant). The change in inequality (or shift in the lorenz curve) will in turn also affects the poverty rate. Based on Ravallion and Datt (1992), this can be shown using the decomposition of poverty changes into growth and redistribution components. How can one measure the elasticities of poverty response to the shift in inequality and growth. My question does not seem to be answered by efgtgr as this command is meant to deal with static estimate, not between two periods but one.?
Thank you very much,
Dapel
