"This excellent volume combines theoretical discussion of the utility-consistent cost of basic needs poverty approach and first-order dominance multidimensional poverty analysis, empirical application, and practical tools in the form of user guides for estimation software...essential reading for applied poverty researchers..." - Paul Shaffer, Department of International Development Studies, Trent University"This book makes accessible the recent advances in consumption and multidimensional poverty measurement. The combination of literature review, computer code, and worked examples fill a major gap, making it possible for researchers in developing countries to estimate and analyse these metrics." - John F. Hoddinott, H.E. Babcock Professor of Food and Nutrition Economics and Policy, Cornell University
