A behaviouristic approach for measuring poverty: the decomposition approach - empirical illustrations for Germany 1995-2009
Abstract: In this paper an alternative approach with regard to poverty measurement is discussed: the so-called decomposition approach (see also FaMa discussion paper no. 2/23009). This method differentiates between various social groups in the sense that for each group a separate poverty line is determined. E. g., household size might be a criterion for such a social differentiation. By doing this, the problem of traditional poverty measurement to refer to income-independent equivalence scales is principally avoided. Moreover, the further problem of the traditional method, namely to determine a (general) poverty line as a more or less arbi-trary fraction of society’s mean welfare level, does not exist, on principle, in the decomposition approach. Present author’s own calculations reveal higher poverty levels indicated by this approach compared with the conventional method of measuring (income) poverty. Since it appears to be realistic that some people perform their poverty assessments throug
