“…BBBs do not necessarily observe that principle. 10 The latest value of the iPL is set to $1.90 in 2011 PPP by Ferreira et al (2015) following the "dollar-a-day" methodology. 11 For example, Ravallion (2015) argues about the existence of "clearly political resistance" in updating NPLs, and Kakwani (2003) offers as an example the NPL of Pakistan for not allowing a "meaningful comparison of poverty incidence in different periods" due to explicit methodological choices.…”

“…According to Chen and Ravallion (2010), 80% of the national poverty lines (NPLs) used in Ravallion, Chen, and Sangraula (2009) to derive the iPL of 1.25$-a-day in 2005 prices, are constructed also using some variation of a cost of basic needs approach. In all its versions, the dollar-a-day iPL is estimated by averaging a set of NPLs from a group countries (Chen and Ravallion 2001;Ferreira et al 2015;Ravallion, Chen, and Sangraula 2009;Ravallion, Datt, and van de Walle 1991), without any explicit analysis of what the underlying NPLs actually represent in terms of welfare. 10 The methodological variation among the NPLs underlying the iPL, especially with respect to the encapsulated normative choices, 11 does not allow for any use of the NPLs, as they stand, to consistently measure global poverty.…”

“…As explained in Ferreira et al . (), for a quantity expressed in 2005 PPP dollars and denoted by x2005PPP, the conversion to 2011 PPP dollars, denoted by x2011PPP, means that x2011PPP = x2005PPP×CPI2011CPI2005×PPP2005PPP2011, where PPP2005 and PPP2011 are two PPP conversion series and CPI2011 and CPI2005 are the corresponding two series of consumer price indices. We have collected these series from the World Bank website.…”

“…The procedure used by the World Bank to compute the new IPL using 2011 PPP is well detailed and is discussed in Ferreira et al . (); namely, take the same database (the one we are using) and the same reference group of 15 countries as in Ravallion et al . (), convert the corresponding national poverty lines from 2005 PPP to 2011 PPP using equation , and take their mean over that group.…”
