Poverty Decomposition By Growth And Income Redistribution Under Government Regulation
Keywords:
poverty decomposition, Shapely value, eonomic growth, income redistributionAbstract
Using a Shapley value decomposition approach, this work analyzed the contribution of growth, incomes redistribution and poverty level to the poverty changes in both emerging and advanced economies from 1990 to 2011. The analysis used the income data for 24 emerging economies and 32 advanced economies to calculate poverty indices. The result of the Shapley value decomposition of poverty changes into growth redistribution and poverty tine components revealed that the economic growth component dominates the redistribution and poverty line component in poverty reduction
