Empirical issues in lifetime poverty measurement

Abstract  

Recently there has been increased interest in developing methods for measuring poverty in a way that takes into account the
lifetime experience of individuals. We analyze some specific proposals that take the so-called spells approach and consider how they differ in the manner in which they address issues of lifetime poverty, most notably the measurement
of chronic poverty. Comparing these specific measures by applying them to a US panel data set, we provide important insights
for further research in conceptualizing and measuring lifetime poverty.
