Turning to the ...Evidence for resources and needs<br /><br /><br />Turning to the second and I would suggest more important issue, I am not sure why you made a categorical statement without qualification about poverty levels.<br /><br />My question assumed that "gap between resources and needs" was what you meant by poverty.<br /><br />If it was, then I cannot see how it can be anything other than subjective, both in terms of relevant resources and relevant needs. <br /><br />When I think about these things, I hope I tend to imagine real life, involving all the things which might be significant to an assessment of my economic position, economic welfare, wealth or any other such concept I might be thinking about.<br /><br />That would include - whoever I imagine being - at least assets, debts, necessary expenditure, income, and shared assets. <br /><br />I don't know what the evidence is for past correlations between spending-adjusted-by-CPI and those other aspects relevant to economic welfare for people in any spending range.<br /><br />Nor do I know what the evidence is for trends in those aspects being associated with particular policies, or GDP per capita growth, or any other conditions concerning which macroeconomists have made claims relevant to historical or policy analysis.<br /><br />But even within narrow boundaries of consumption of particular types of things which happen to be those which people buy, it seems to me that there are clearly multiple problems if expenditure data and imputed value of own production are used to infer economic well-being.<br /><br /><br />Some aspects which could be problematic are mentioned below. <br /><br />I have now sent the email for the attention of Dr Ravallion a second time, having had no answer the first.<br /><br />In blog comments he has written for some reason that my objections to his method were due to my believing that the dollar rate was not adjusted for inflation at all - a view I have never seen advanced by anyone. My mentions in relevant blogs of potential problems for his methods of assumptions concerning temporal and/or cross-country differences in relative prices faced by the poor and needs of the poor have received no answer. <br /><br /><br />.....................<br /><br /><br /><br />Email of 18 May 2007<br /><br />Dear Dr Ravallion<br /><br />I am a member of the public with an interest in international development. I would be grateful for any comments you might have on the importance or otherwise of the following.<br /><br />I worked in Bangladesh in the mid-1980s, and lived with an illiterate family. A theme at the time was landlessness due to population rise: parents' land would be divided among several offspring.<br /><br />Apart from the general problem that income or spending do not directly measure assets, it seems to me that if people move to cities for work, they may begin paying rent, having previously lived on family land. <br /><br />It was not clear to me from Absolute Poverty Measures whether this kind of thing - changes in consumption needs - was taken into account, or whether the new urban/rural adjustments were solely for prices. <br /><br />Secondly, in respect of economies of scale, a plausible scenario might be that economic growth coincides with smaller household units, as single people travel to cities for work. This would be additional to considerations about economies of scale related to children's needs and smaller family sizes as birth rates fall.<br /><br />Thirdly and fourthly, it is not clear to me how surveys have generally dealt with expenditure on personal debt, or costs which are sometimes the subject of public concern and whose incidence varies across countries and times, such as charges for water, medicine or schooling. <br /><br />I would be grateful for any light you might be able to shed on these issues.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Yours sincerely,<br /><br />Matt Berkley.Matt Berkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081278538574947314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335146197342151188.post-61442286073395082512012-11-07T21:19:29.448+00:002012-11-07T21:19:29.448+00:00Dear Dr Haddad,
This first comment of a pair deal...Dear Dr Haddad,<br /><br />This first comment of a pair deals with differences between your statements and the data, with labels, from your source.<br /><br />The second relates to my question on your evidence on resources and needs.<br /><br /><br />IFAD data<br /><br /><br />a) The IFAD data are not, as your words imply, for 2002 to 2012, but for the closest survey dates to 1998 to 2008. <br /><br />Depending on survey reporting lags, that may mean that the surveys were carried out earlier. <br /><br />It is therefore not unlikely that there are no data for almost half of your period.<br /><br />b) IFAD give percentages for rural poverty which inform your percentages for urban, but for those figures they are talking about "extreme poverty".<br /><br />The people to whom they apply the word "poverty" in fact spent/earned/consumed the imputed monetary value of own produce, up to a level much more than the people you are talking about, and there are many more of them.<br /><br />They include those to whom you have referred, when talking, I have to say misleadingly, about the "share of poverty" or phrases implying "total" or "all poverty". <br /><br />I am afraid both your seminar paper and your article have such problems.Matt Berkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081278538574947314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335146197342151188.post-4822531091657580882012-10-12T08:53:42.683+01:002012-10-12T08:53:42.683+01:00Hi Matt, not sure I understand your question.
