Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of selected empirical studies on determinants of economic growth and development in Ethiopia.The core argument for editing this book is to provide an up-to-date picture of the state and patterns of growth and development in Ethiopia. Ethiopia has been under focus in the past due to draughts, war, famine, development changes and the effects of global economic crisis in the country. A main contribution of this volume is that it helps identify selected important determinants of growth and development in Ethiopia and provides an estimation of their effects using up-to-date data, modelling and methods. Taken together the studies provide a comprehensive picture of the state of growth and development, their measurements, causal relationships and evaluation of efficient policies and practices in achieving progress in Ethiopia. The issues covered represent major challenges to the government and development organizations who are aiming at achieving higher growth and alleviating poverty in the country. The studies cover transition from rural agriculture to urban industry and the development of services.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective poverty reduction programs require careful measurement of poverty status. Several studies have shown conceptually that assets reflecting productive capacity form a more robust basis for identifying the poor than do flow variables such as expenditures or income. Nonetheless, little work has empirically compared poverty measurements based on assets and expenditures. This paper uses panel data from Ethiopia to generate an asset-based poverty classification scheme. Regression results are used to estimate an asset index and classify households into categories of structural poverty. Asset index dynamics are also explored to test for the existence of multiple asset index equilibria; evidence of potential poverty traps. Results provide evidence of multiple equilibria in the study sample as a whole as well as convergence at different levels over space, depending on commercialization opportunities and agroecological factors. The asset-based poverty classifications consistently predict future poverty status more accurately than do income-based measures, confirming that the asset-based measure could be used to more carefully target poverty interventions in rural areas and to more accurately assess the impact of those interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of selected studies on poverty and well-being in East Africa. Using a multidimensional approach, the authors hope to provide a broad view of poverty and a thorough account of the variables that contribute to it. As opposed to traditional studies of poverty, which focus mainly on material well-being, this volume includes criteria such as material standard of living, health, education, housing, personal security, access to information, freedom, participation in organization, corruption, trust, and employment. The studies highlighted in this volume are grouped into the following four research areas: child poverty and malnutrition, dynamics and determinants of poverty, multidimensional measures of poverty, and energy-environment-poverty relationships. Together, these studies provide a comprehensive picture of the state of multidimensional poverty, its measurement, causal factors, and policies and practices in Burundi, Cameron, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda and Tanzania. The methodology utilized in the studies is diverse as well, ranging from econometric analysis to decision theory, to neoclassical growth models. This book is geared towards students and researchers interested in economic development, welfare, and poverty in Africa as well as policy makers and members of NGOs and international aid agencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s War against the Many Faces of Poverty measures multidimensional poverty in China and deprivation related to income, education, health issues, living standards and social security. The book adopts a well-developed methodology using three different empirical datasets to analyse aspects of regional diversity across rural and urban and migrant populations of China. The book also analyses the links between development policies considered by the government and the various facets of poverty in light of rapid economic growth and addresses important policy implications. In the existing literature, in-depth research on multidimensional poverty in China is almost non-existent. This book is a pioneer study in this important field of research. With its innovative approach in concepts and methodologies and in its analysis of policy implications make this book a definitive and valuable addition to the literature.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective poverty reduction programs require careful measurement of poverty status. Commonly used consumption or income-based classifications of poverty aggregate together households that are persistently poor with those who are only in poverty due to passing conditions. They also classify as non-poor households that are at risk of falling into poverty as well as those that are not at risk. The tendency to group households that are likely to exit poverty independently with other poor households who lack this ability undermines the targeting of interventions to alleviate poverty and distorts evaluation of anti-poverty programs. Asset-based poverty measures enable more nuanced identification of poverty status, but these methods raise methodological problems when estimating the relationship between assets and livelihood. This dissertation uses panel data from Ethiopia to generate an asset-based poverty classification scheme. Regression results are used to derive an asset index and classify households into various categories of poverty. Asset index dynamics are also explored to test for the existence of multiple asset index equilibria; evidence of poverty traps. Results provide evidence of multiple equilibria in the study sample as a whole as well as convergence at different levels for different peasant associations, depending on commercialization opportunities and agro- ecological factors. The asset-based poverty classifications predict future poverty status more accurately than income-based measures implying that the asset-based measure could be used to more carefully target poverty interventions and to more accurately assess the impact of those interventions. Microfinance is often touted as a practical means of helping rural poor overcome capital constraints, and invest in new technology. Using an asset-based approach to poverty measurement and classification chapter three of this dissertation asks whether microfinance has a differential impact on use of improved technology and on consumption and asset growth depending on the family0́9s asset poverty status. The analysis finds no relationship between participation in microfinance programs and the use of modern technologies for the poorest households. Microfinance has a positive direct effect on both consumption and asset growth as well as on the use of modern technology among the relatively wealthier (less poor) households. I find that households who use fertilizer tend to enjoy more rapid consumption growth, and greater accumulation of productive assets, irrespective of their poverty status, but microfinance has no effect on the likelihood of fertilizer use among the poorest households. This implies that while modern technology could present a pathway out of persistent poverty, current formal credit programs are not serving the poorest households in this endeavor. The findings confirm the need to closely assess constraints faced by different classes of poor households and suggest the value of asset based poverty classifications in identifying target groups. The adoption and use of modern technologies is generally accepted as a potential vehicle out of poverty but adoption rates in Ethiopia remain low with the nature of the adoption process largely unstudied (Spielman, 2007). Chapter 4 of this dissertation studies the impact of social networks and social leanring on technology adoption in rural Ethiopia. Considering the potentially different marginal benefits of reducing information constraints by poverty status and technology type, the chapter explores the differential impacts of social networks by network type, technology and the asset poverty status of households. In addition to geographic networks, it considers the role played by networks with more purposeful interactions such as a household0́9s friends. Results confirm the presence of social learning among farmers in rural Ethiopia, with significant difference across network type, farmer type and technologies. Social learning occurs in networks with purposeful interaction and depending on the technology this effect differs across households experiencing different degrees of poverty.

Book excerpt: This paper presents trends in monetary and nonmonetary dimensions of wellbeing in Ethiopia using data from the Household Consumption and Expenditure and Welfare Monitoring surveys implemented in 2000, 2005, and 2011. The paper provides evidence on changes in overlapping deprivations using a non-index approach to multidimensional poverty. It assesses the performance of various dimensions in education, health, and living standards, taking one indicator at a time. It then examines the overlap between different dimensions of poverty and examines how this has changed over time in Ethiopia and across rural and urban areas. It highlights that although Ethiopia?s multidimensional poverty index is very high, there have been improvements in overlapping deprivations and, as a result, the number of individuals deprived in multiple dimensions has fallen.
Download or read book Poverty Dynamics written by Tony Addison and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-01-22 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays provides a state-of-the-art examination of the concepts and methods that can be used to understand poverty dynamics. It does this from an interdisciplinary perspective and includes the work of anthropologists, economists, sociologists, and political scientists. The contributions included highlight the need to conceptualise poverty from a multidimensional perspective and promote Q-Squared research approaches, or those that combine quantitative and qualitative research. The first part of the book provides a review of the research on poverty dynamics in developing countries. Part two focuses on poverty measurement and assessment, and discusses the most recent work of world-leading poverty analysts. The third part focuses on frameworks for understanding poverty analysis that avoid measurement and instead utilise approaches based on social relations and structural analysis. There is widespread consensus that poverty analysis should focus on poverty dynamics and this book shows how this idea can practically be taken forward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides an analysis of poverty in Ethiopia as of 1995/96. It draws extensively on quantitative surveys conducted by the Central Statistical Agency in 1995/96, 1999/2000 and 2004/05--the Welfare Monitoring Survey (WMS) and the Household Income and Consumption Expenditure Survey (HICES)--and a large-scale Participatory Poverty Assessment (PPA) conducted between November 2004 and January 2005. As in previous Poverty Analysis Reports, this report describes the incidence and severity of poverty and the level and distribution of consumption at the national and regional levels as wells as cross-tabulating the correlates of these. The report also includes an assessment of the role of growth and inequality in determining the evolution of poverty, explicit discussions of issues surrounding vulnerability, and a more extensive description of dimensions of poverty that go beyond consumption. This is the first Poverty Analysis Report to include findings from qualitative research methods, thus making it possible to triangulate poverty results.
Download or read book Panel Estimation of Non Monetary Poverty in Ethiopia and Its Driving Factors written by Migbaru Alamirew Workneh and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By employing Alkire and Foster (2011) counting approach and Cerioli & Zani (1990)s' unequal weighting method, this study estimates the non-monetary multidimensional poverty in Ethiopia for three waves with fourteen country-specific indicators and four dimensions in its first part; and tried to identify the presence of state dependence with unobserved heterogeneity using dynamic random effect probit model with unobserved heterogeneity estimation technique in its second part. The data for the three waves are from Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) of Ethiopia for the year 2005, 2011 and 2016. The panel estimation of non-monetary multidimensional poverty gives a higher level of multidimensional poverty compared to the reports from international organizations, mainly from OPHI and UNDP, in respective years. This is mainly due to the additional indicators and the weighting method used. Housing, cooking fuel, toilet and sanitation and electricity played a significant role compared with the other indicators for the high non-monetary multidimensional poverty in the country. It is also found that there is a substantial and positive impact of the previous poverty status of households for their future experience in poverty. Households living in rural areas are more prone to experience poverty and have low chance to exit from poverty compared to urban households. In addition to focus on infrastructure development in fighting poverty, the governments' development policies and strategies should target households who are experiencing poverty trap mainly those who are living in rural areas.
