4 Motivation: Action with vigour positive changes have often occurred and yielded some liberation when the remedying of ailments has been sought actively and pursued with vigour Jean Dreze and Amartya Sen India: An Uncertain Glory 2013
5 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index UNDP Human Development Report 2014 & Alkire Conconi and Seth 2014 Develop a deprivation profile for each person, using a set of indicators, cutoffs and weights. Example:.
6 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index UNDP Human Development Report 2014 & Alkire Conconi and Seth 2014 Identify someone as poor if he or she is deprived in 33% (for example) or more of the weighted indicators. National : you choose indicators/weights /cutoffs Deprivation Score 33%
7 Aggregation: Alkire & Foster - Appropriate for Ordinal data - The MPI is the product of two components: MPI = H A 1) Incidence ~ the percentage of people who are poor, or the headcount ratio H. 2) Intensity of people s deprivation ~ the average percentage of dimensions in which poor people are deprived A.
8 Policy Interest Why? 1. Intuitive easy to understand headline 2. Birds-eye view - can be unpacked a. by region, ethnicity, rural/urban, etc b. by indicator, to show composition c. by intensity to show inequality among poor 3. Adds Value: a. focuses on people with multiple deprivations b. shows people s simultaneous deprivations. 4. Incentives to reach the poorest of the poor 5. Flexible you choose indicators/cutoffs/values 6. Robust to wide range of weights and cutoffs 7. Academically Rigorous axiomatic & empirical
9 Average Intensity of Poverty (A) 75% 70% 65% 60% 55% 50% 45% 40% 35% What MPI shows National level How MPI decreased in Nepal Nepal 2006 Nepal % 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Incidence - Percentage of MPI Poor People (H)
10 Decomposition By Region (or social group) shows inequalities
11 How did MPI go down? Monitor each indicator 64
12 Annualized Absolute Change in proportion who is poor and deprived in... Indicator Changes by region (Nepal) Nutrition Child Mortality Years of Schooling Attendance Cooking Fuel Sanitation Water Electricity Floor Assets
13 MPI: Two kinds ~ both useful Internationally comparable: Example: The Global MPI estimated and analysed by OPHI and published by UNDP s HDRO can be compared across 108 countries. Facilitates lessons learned across countries. - Like $1.25/day and $2/day poverty measures & MDGs
14 MPI: Two kinds ~ both useful Context-Specific: Example: National MPIs reflect national contexts and priorities. They guide policies like targeting and allocation and monitor changes - Vital for policy. Not comparable: tailor-made to context.

16 Aggregation: Alkire & Foster - Appropriate for Ordinal data - The MPI is the product of two components: MPI = H A 1) Incidence ~ the percentage of people who are poor, or the headcount ratio H. 2) Intensity of people s deprivation ~ the average percentage of dimensions in which poor people are deprived A.
17 Properties: AF Family of measures Adjusted FGT is M a = m(g a (t)) for a > 0 Domains g a a 0 1 a (k) Persons 0.04 a 0.17 a 0.67 a 1 a Theorem 1 For any given weighting vector and cutoffs, the methodology M ka =(ρ k,m a ) satisfies: decomposability, replication invariance, symmetry, poverty and deprivation focus, weak and dimensional monotonicity, nontriviality, normalisation, and weak rearrangement for a>0; monotonicity for a>0; and weak transfer for a>1.

31 UN General Assembly Side Event Sept 2013: Press release Over 20 governments pressure UN to change how it measures poverty Germany, Colombia and Mexico lead calls for a new poverty measure at side-event at the UN General Assembly on the Post-2015 Development Agenda A global network of more than 20 governments and institutions are using a side-event at the UN General Assembly on 24 September to argue for a new multidimensional poverty index to stand alongside an income poverty measure. Why? Focussing on ending income poverty alone in the post-2015 development context overlooks policies that address other aspects of being poor, such as a lack of access to healthcare, quality schooling, housing, electricity and sanitation. Research by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at Oxford University, among others, shows startling discrepancies between income poverty and multidimensional poverty, which takes into account other factors. The Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network which was founded by Colombia, Mexico and OPHI will use the side-event to make a case for the UN to include a multidimensional poverty index, or MPI, alongside the $1.25/day measure, to track progress towards nationally defined goals. The MPI would build on the global MPI published in the UN Development Programme s flagship Human Development Reports, and would incorporate the most accurate
32 Slide title
33 Finding factoids Start from an idea or a controversy: MDGs wrongly count countries not people. Growth => higher GDP per capita but may not decrease multidimensional poverty. Or a question: There are more $1.25/day poor in MICS. Is it true for MPI poverty?
34 Play with your data. Finding factoids Become very Curious about your results Find comparisons that are striking or unexpected Make sure factoids are 100% accurate and academically defensible.
