This new book, from a leading international group of scholars, offers an up to date and innovative survey of new methods for estimating poverty at the local level, as well as the most recent multidimensional methods of the dynamics of poverty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is argued here that measures of poverty and inequality are most useful to policy-makers and researchers when they are finely disaggregated into small geographic units. \u003ci\u003ePoverty and Social Exclusion: New Methods of Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e is the first attempt to compile the most recent research results on local estimates of multidimensional deprivation. The methods offered here take both traditional and multidimensional approaches, with a focus on using the methodology for the construction of time-related measures of deprivation at the individual and aggregated levels. In analysis of persistence over time, the book also explores whether the level of deprivation is defined in terms of relative inequality in society, or in relation to some supposedly absolute standard. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is of particular importance as the continuing international economic and financial crisis has led to the impoverishment of segments of population as a result of unemployment, bankruptcy, and difficulties in obtaining credit. The volume will therefore be of interest to all those working on economic, econometric and statistical methods and empirical analyses in the areas of poverty, social exclusion and income inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gianni Betti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415636345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415636346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.39w x 0.94d","brand":"Gianni Betti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064940540159,"sku":"9780415636346","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_876b5d3d-def1-48b2-9f14-ce24db52961b.jpg?v=1768672062","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poverty-and-social-exclusion-gianni-betti-9780415636346","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
