1 Poverty Lines Michael Lokshin DECRG-CT The World Bank
2 Poverty Lines 1. The welfare ratio 2. The theoretical ideal 3. Practice: Objective poverty lines 4. Practice: Subjective poverty lines 5. Recommendations for practice 2 Poverty lines
3 1. The welfare ratio Add up expenditure on all commodities consumed (with imputed values at local market prices) and Deflate by a poverty line that might depend on household size, composition, and location/date) The real expenditure or welfare ratio is: Y i m j 1 PQ where P ij is a price paid for good j by household i Q ij is a quantity of good j consumed by household i ij Z i ij 3 Poverty lines
4 2. The theoretical ideal Poverty line should be absolute in the space of welfare: Two individuals with the same level of welfare are treated similarly Poverty line should satisfy the weak Pareto principle that states that a welfare gain cannot increase poverty The ideal poverty line is the minimum cost of achieving a reference level of welfare by a given household: Z e( P, X, Z ) i i i w P i are the prices paid by a household i for goods X i are household characteristics that could affect household s welfare Z w is is the reference level of utility 4 Poverty lines
5 The theoretical ideal Linear approximation of the expenditure function: e( P, X, Z ) Z P P Q m m ij i w i ij ij ij j 1 P ij j 1 w where Q ij is the consumption of good j that brings household i to the reference welfare level Z w 5 Poverty lines
6 Common issues in Practice Identification of consumer s cost function from demand behavior Are there goods that should be included in the consumption aggregate but not the poverty line ( qat in Yemen?) Identification of external effects (interdependence). Utility depends on own consumption and relative position. Absolute versus relative poverty? Is there really a difference? Absolute in the space of welfare can mean relative in the commodity space (Ravallion and Chen, 2009) 6 Poverty lines
7 Calibration of poverty lines to supplementary welfare data Imperfect welfare indicator W i for household I Examples: Food share Nutritional/Health status Self-rated welfare (Cantril s scale) Perceived consumption adequacy Income Y i and other welfare-relevant characteristics Poverty line could be derived from estimating: W Y X ( 0) i i i i 7 Poverty lines
8 Absolute vs. relative poverty? Welfare depends on relative income: W Yi W ( Y, ) M i i i M is mean income in a country. The reference level of utility: Z w Z W ( Z, ) M Thus, the poverty line is absolute in welfare space, but is relative in the consumption space the poverty line is a function of mean income: Z Z( M, Z w ) For a poverty line to be absolute in the space of welfare (that is yield Z w ) the commodity-based poverty line Z have to rise as M is rising. 8 Poverty lines
9 Poverty lines for different countries 9 Poverty lines
10 Poverty rates for different countries 10 Poverty lines
11 3. Practice: Objective Poverty Lines Cost of Basic Needs (CBN) method: Poverty line is a cost of a bundle of goods deemed sufficient for basic needs. Food-share version of CBN : Poverty line is a cost of the foodenergy requirement Food-Energy Intake (FEI) method: Find expenditure or income at which food-energy requirements are met on average for each region/socio-economic group 11 Poverty lines
12 Problems to be aware of Defining basic consumption needs Setting food energy requirements: problems with variability of activity levels; multiple equilibrium. Setting basic non-food consumption needs Consistency in terms of welfare: Is the same standards of living being treated the same way in different subgroups of the poverty profile? Is the definition of welfare consistent with the definition of poverty? Should some goods purchased by the poor be included into the poverty bundle? How sensitive are the rankings in a poverty profile to these choices? 12 Poverty lines
13 Consistency of Poverty Lines % of calories from food Urban Rural Rice Corn Vegetables Meat Two bundles yield same food-energy intake, but the urban bundle is almost certainly preferable to the rural bundle The standard of living at the urban poverty line is higher than at the rural line These two poverty lines are inconsistent providing different welfare levels 13 Poverty lines
14 Difference in the cost per capita Food Consumption and Cost of a calorie by quintile Expenditure Quintile Percentage of expenditure on food Calories per capita, per day Cost per calorie Lowest 70 1, , , , Highest 47 2, Poverty lines
15 Example 2: Food-energy intake Method Different sub-groups attain food energy requirements at different standards of living, in terms of real consumption expenditures. 15 Poverty lines
16 Food intake, kcal/day Rural Urban 2100 Zr Zu Income 16
17 Allowing for differences in relative prices Ideally we only want to adjust the poverty bundle for differences in relative prices The problem is how to implement this ideal in practice The identification problem remains Key thing: To control for welfare differences 17 Poverty lines
18 Allowing for differences in relative prices 1. Parametric demand models: If we know the parametric utility function then or we can figure it out from demand behavior then use this to determine the cost of the reference welfare level in each region 2. Numerical methods: Look at consumption behavior of poorest x% nationally in each region of the country Cost the consumption bundle of that group in each region Calculate the poverty rate nationally and iterate if the answer differs too far from x 18 Poverty lines
19 Methods of Setting Poverty Lines Do Matter! Poverty Headcount % Urban Rural Indonesia FEI method CBN method Tunisia FEI method CBN method Poverty lines
20 World Bank Method: Cost per calorie HHID Food items Caloric content per 1 kg Quantity purchased (kg) Price paid ($) Caloric value Milk Bread Meat Bread Butter Milk Sugar Potatoes Meat Beans Veg. Oil Total Cost per calorie $0.010
21 World Bank Method: Cost per calorie HHID Food items Caloric content per 1 kg Quantity purchased (kg) Price paid ($) Caloric value Cost per calorie Milk Bread Meat Bread Butter Milk Sugar Potatoes Meat Beans Veg. Oil Mean cost per calorie $0.015
22 World Bank Method: Cost of a calorie Pick a nutrition requirement: 2100 Kcal per day (NR) Select a group of households around the poverty line Usually take 2 nd to 5 th deciles of expenditure distribution Calculate the total spending of these households on food (FS). Calculate the total caloric content of these purchases (TC) Calculate the cost of a calorie for this group: CC=FS/TC Calculate the cost of food poverty line as: FPL = NR CC=NR FS/TC 22 Poverty lines
23 Household income/expenditure Estimating Cost per Calorie Fourth decile Expected location of povery line Second decile 23 Poverty lines Households ranked by income/expenditure
24 Is the width of the band important? Case of dual prices Price of a calorie/ goods Price(mean) Supermarket 2 Market Z 1 Income 24
25 Is the width of the band important? Case of multiple prices Price of a calorie/ goods Price(mean) Supermarket Local store 2 Street vendor Market Z 1 Income 25
26 World Bank Method: Lower poverty line Adjust Food Poverty Line for non-food expenditures LPL: Select a group of households whose total expenditure is equal (close) to Food Poverty Line Estimate average share of non-food consumption S L in their total consumption expenditure Calculate: LPL = FPL/(1- S L ) Example: FPL = $50, S L =0.2 LPL = $50/(1-0.2)= Poverty lines
27 World Bank Method: Upper poverty line UPL: Select a group of households whose food expenditure is equal to Food Poverty Line Estimate average share of non-food consumption in their total consumption expenditure S U Calculate: UPL = FPL/(1- S U ) Example: FPL = $50, S u =0.35 UPL = $50/(1-0.35)= Poverty lines
28 Non-food adjustment diagram 28 Poverty lines
29 Updating poverty lines over time Once poverty line is established, it is important to update it correctly for the new time period It is incorrect to recalculate poverty lines every year: by doing that we would use relative poverty lines (similar to urban/rural example) Two ways to go: update old poverty line using new prices. That would answer the question: How many people can afford the old basket now? update new poverty line using old prices. That would answer the question: How many people could afford the new basket in the past? 29 Poverty lines
30 4. Practice: Social Subjective Poverty Line Minimum Income Question (MIQ): What income do you consider to be absolutely minimal, in that you could make ends meet with less? 30 Poverty lines
31 Practice: Social Subjective Poverty Line Latent individual welfare W i : W i Y X i i i Derive the Social Subjective poverty line as: In practice W i can be approximated as: MIQ (OLS) Z s X 1 Consumption adequacy questions (Ordered Probit) Economic ladder questions (Ordered Probit) 31 Poverty lines
32 Examples of subjective welfare questions for Jamaica and Nepal Respondents asked whether their food, housing and clothing expenditures were adequate for their family needs. The implied subjective poverty lines are robust to alternative methods of dealing with other components of expenditure The aggregate poverty rates accord closely with the poverty rates based on poverty lines derived with CBN method. However, the geographic and demographic poverty profiles differ substantially from those based on objective poverty lines 32 Poverty lines
33 Poverty rates based on subjective and objective poverty lines: self rated poverty lines are higher than official poverty lines subjective poverty rates are also higher than the official (income) poverty rates 33 Poverty lines
34 5. Recommendations The WB recommends using objective, absolute poverty lines in developing countries Usually, several poverty lines are calculated. For example, Lower and Upper poverty lines in the WB method Always conduct sensitivity analysis. Test the degree to which the results are sensitive to the choice of poverty lines. This can be done by repeating the calculations for different lines and comparing results 34 Poverty lines
