Despite increasing acceptance that poverty is multidimensional, most policy work adopts a monetary definition. Using data for India and Peru, the authors compare four different approaches to poverty analysis at a theoretical and empirical level. Defining Poverty in the Developing World compares and contrasts monetary, capabilities, social exclusion and participatory approaches in a highly informative manner. The research elucidates the implications for measuring poverty and for policy, concluding that the approach chosen does make a marked difference to conclusions drawn.

This title was first published in 2002: An investigation into the problem of identifying the poor and determining the poverty line. The book focuses on one particular approach to the issue, where survey respondents are asked for their views, and outlines the four variants in the approach: the consensual income method; the consensual standard of living method; the income evaluation method; and the income satisfaction method. The book contains an extensive and thorough review of the theoretical and empirical literature, as well as rigorous analysis of survey data from Belgium. The result is a conclusive assessment of the validity and usefulness of the subjective and consensual approaches to poverty measurement.

"In “Poverty: An Ordinal Approach to Measurement” (1976), Amartya Sen defines the problem of identifying the poor as one of two that have to be addressed when we operationalize poverty. In this dissertation, I propose an innovative empirical approach to responding to this problem. My dissertation unfolds in four stages. First, I argue that an empirical approach to the identification problem is both desirable and possible. Second, I propose my own approach. Drawing on work in the basic needs tradition, I argue that experiencing poverty should result in the life trajectories of the poor looking different from those of the non-poor. Specifically, they should be uniquely vulnerable to suffering a cumulative negative dynamic in functioning over time, which I elect to call “deprivation.” Third, I model this dynamic and propose a method for using it to evaluate poverty indicators. Fourth, I estimate the dynamic in the United States and Canada using panel data on individual earnings and household income and dynamic panel data estimators. Then, I use these results to assess the relative poverty indicator most widely used in rich countries, known in Canada as the Low-Income Measure (LIM). I find that a household in the United States needs to command about 61% of median adjusted after-tax income and in Canada, 43%, to be able to protect themselves against deprivation. Broadly speaking, if we accept the theoretical arguments offered in this dissertation, then the LIM—which is defined at 50%—strikes a rough balance between these two empirical standards"--
