These approaches are a simple micro-accounting method, an extension of that method to account for changes in employment structure, and the Beta distribution approach. Even though in the authors simulation exercises the three methods do not lead to fundamentally different results in absolute terms, they show that potential differences in the measurement of distributional and poverty effects of policy shocks can be very large.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADJUSTMENT POLICIESADJUSTMENT PROCESSAGGREGATE DEMANDAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTUREAVERAGE CONSUMPTIONAVERAGE INCOMEBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBASE YEARBETWEEN-GROUP INEQUALITYCAPITAL ACCUMULATIONCAPITAL GAINSCDCENTRAL BANKCOMMERCIAL BANKSCONSTANT ELASTICITYCONSUMPTION LEVELSDEMAND SIDEDEVELOPING COUNTRYDISPOSABLE INCOMEDISTRIBUTION FUNCTIONDISTRIBUTION FUNCTIONSDISTRIBUTIONAL EFFECTSECONOMETRIC MODELSECONOMETRICSECONOMIC SHOCKSECONOMICSEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTELASTICITYELASTICITY OF SUBSTITUTIONEMPLOYMENTEQUILIBRIUMEXCHANGE RATEEXOGENOUS POPULATION GROWTH RATEEXOGENOUS SHOCKSEXPENDITURE SURVEYEXPORTSEXTERNALITYFUNCTIONAL FORMSGINI COEFFICIENTGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGROUP MEANSGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHEADCOUNT INDEXHEADCOUNT RATIOHOUSEHOLD DATAHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD INCOMESHOUSEHOLD SAMPLEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSIMPORTSINCOMEINCOME DATAINCOME DIFFERENCESINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME TAXESINEQUALITY CHANGESINEQUALITY INDICATORSINEQUALITY MEASURESINFORMAL ECONOMYINFORMAL SECTORINFORMAL SECTORSINFRASTRUCTURE CAPITALINTEREST RATEJOB SECURITYLABOR COSTSLABOR DEMANDLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLIVING STANDARDLOG-NORMAL DISTRIBUTIONMACROECONOMIC MODELSMEAN INCOMEMEAN INCOMESMEASUREMENT ERRORSMINIMUM WAGENET OUTPUTOPPORTUNITY COSTPAYROLL TAXESPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPOLICY REFORMSPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION SIZEPOSITIVE EXTERNALITYPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MEASUREPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOWER PLANTSPRICE CHANGESPRICE INDEXESPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTORSPRODUCTION TECHNOLOGYPROFIT MAXIMIZATIONPUBLIC CAPITALPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC GOODPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC SECTORPURCHASING POWERREAL GROWTHREAL TERMSREAL WAGERELATIVE INCOMERELATIVE INCREASERELATIVE PRICESRETAINED EARNINGSRETURNS TO SCALERURAL AREASRURAL ECONOMYRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSAVINGSSIDE EFFECTSSKILLED LABORSKILLED UNEMPLOYMENTSKILLED UNEMPLOYMENT RATESKILLED WAGESSKILLED WORKERSKILLED WORKERSSTANDARD DEVIATION EQUALSTRUCTURAL REFORMSTAX REVENUESUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATEURBAN AREAURBAN AREASURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POVERTYUTILITY FUNCTIONVALUE ADDEDWAGESWEIGHTING SCHEME HOUSEHOLD INCOMESTANDARD OF LIVINGFAMILY INCOMEPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ANALYSIS TOOLSPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY MONITORING & EVALUATIONSCIENTIFIC METHODSTECHNIQUESMODELSPOVERTYINCOME DISTRIBUTIONPOLICY MODELSWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/1813-9450-3343
