“…A more intuitive alternative is to apply the Bayesian approach which is by nature more robust for small sample sizes and provides a direct inference process for the posterior distribution of θ. Xun and Lubrano (2018) enlarge the initial model ( 5) by introducing the notion of social inclusion developed in Atkinson and Bourguignon (2001). At any level of income, poverty corresponds to the deprivation of enough resources to participate in social life.…”

“…Social inclusion in Atkinson and Bourguignon (2001) means that poverty is not only a matter of minimum calory consumption (absolute poverty line), but also depends on social life participation. As a measure of social inclusion, Xun and Lubrano (2018) consider the unemployment rate ur i , leading to the richer econometric model:…”

This survey paper reviews the recent Bayesian literature on poverty measurement. After introducing Bayesian statistics, we show how Bayesian model criticism could help to revise the international poverty line. Using mixtures of lognormals to model income, we derive the posterior distribution for the FGT, Watts and Sen poverty indices, then for TIP curves (with an illustration on child poverty in Germany) and finally for Growth Incidence Curves. The relation of restricted stochastic dominance with TIP and GIC dominance is detailed with an example on UK data. Using panel data, we show how to decompose poverty into total, chronic and transient poverty, comparing child and adult poverty in East Germany when redistribution is introduced. When a panel is not available, a Gibbs sampler is used to build a pseudo panel. We illustrate poverty dynamics by examining the consequences of the Wall on poverty entry and poverty persistence in occupied West Bank.

“…This topic is closely related to that of defining poverty, as measures have evolved to include the new dimensions of the poverty concept (Hagenaars & van Praag, 1985; Xun & Lubrano, 2018). Moreover, there is a connection between this topic and policy implementation because “monitoring progress and determining whether the goal of ending poverty is met crucially depends on how [it] is measured” (Lustig & Silber, 2016, p. 131).…”

Scientific publications tend to influence policymakers significantly. Despite the scientific and social importance of poverty today, the attention the top economic journals (American Economic Review; Econometrica; International Economic Review; Journal of Economic Theory; Journal of Political Economy; Quarterly Journal of Economics; Review of Economic Studies) pay to the matter is not clear, particularly in the so‐called “Blue Ribbon” journals (and Review of Economics and Statistics). On the basis of bibliometric techniques, we analyzed all 27,322 articles published in the “Blue Ribbon” journals from 1970 to 2018. This is the first study on the scientific attention paid to poverty by the most influential journals in the field of economics. Two main findings can be highlighted: (i) the scientific attention paid to poverty in the Blue Ribbon journals is relatively meager, but it has observed a positive trend, increasing from a modest 0.36 percent of the total articles published in the 1970s to 1.92 percent of total publications in the 2010s; and (ii) the relative weight of specific poverty subtopics has significantly changed over the last 50 years, shifting from a focus on defining and measuring poverty in the earlier decades to policy‐related issues in the most recent period (2000 onward).

Background: Poverty is a major social worldwide issue. "Poverty is like punishment for a crime you didn't commit". Poverty as a concept almost uniquely applied to humans. It refers to a condition that causes its victims through lack of economic resources to live lives in which they cannot fully participate in the range of activities expressive of their nature as human beings Moral is a socialized reasoning that develops as a result of the norms of a society and influenced by the culture of that society.(Dana and Galbraith 2016). Objective: The main purpose of the study is to assess the relationship of poverty and the moral development of community people. Methodology: A co relational study design was use. A small sample of n=100 was selected Convenient sampling technique was used for the collection of data. Self-prepared 5 point Likert scale questionnaire adapted from thesis of Solomon Fakinlede (2008).The questionnaire tools was used to get some basic information which includes participant age, marital relationship, and family structure, no of children. After the collection of data, it was enter to Statistical Package for Social Sciences 21 (SPSS). Result: The Results found reveals that the coefficient of correlation rs value of the spears man correlation test is 0.939, which suggest that there is a positive, strong, linear correlation between the poverty and moral development. Conclusion: In conclusion, it stated that this research study found the relationship between the poverty and moral development in a society. The results revealed that there is a strong positive correlation between the poverty and moral development of the people.Int. J. Soc. Sc. Manage. Vol. 5, Issue-3: 113-124
