About this title

Synopsis:

This volume brings together advanced thinking on the multidimensional measurement of poverty. This includes the theoretical background, applications to cross-sections using contemporary European examples, and longitudinal aspects of multidimensional fuzzy poverty analysis that pay particular attention to the transitory, or impermanent, conditions that often occur during transitions to market economies. The research is up-to-date and international.

Review:

From the reviews:

"The book is a collection written by economists, statisticians, and mathematicians. ... The book comprises 13 chapters together with the editorial introduction. ... As such, they contain a good deal of interesting empirical information. ... The book under review is the kind of book it is and draws on the social science, which it draws on. Of its kind, it is good." (David Byrne, Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 48 (2), 2008)
