Global poverty counts (millions)We analyze the performance of kernel density methods applied to grouped data to estimate poverty (as applied in Sala-i-Martin, 2006, QJE). Using Monte Carlo simulations and household surveys, we find that the technique gives rise to biases in poverty estimates, the sign and magnitude of which vary with the bandwidth, the kernel, the number of datapoints, and across poverty lines. Depending on the chosen bandwidth, the $1/day poverty rate in 2000 varies by a factor of 1.8, while the $2/day headcount in 2000 varies by 287 million people. Our findings challenge the validity and robustness of poverty estimates derived through kernel density estimation on grouped data.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2008/183PovertyMeasurementIncome distributionEconometric modelsKernel functionsEconometricsimfMacroeconomicsimfDemographyimfPoverty and HomelessnessimfWelfare, Well-Being, and Poverty: GeneralimfPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsimfAggregate Factor Income DistributionimfDemographic Economics: GeneralimfEstimationimfPoverty & precarityimfPopulation & demographyimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfPovertyimfPersonal incomeimfIncome distributionimfPopulation and demographicsimfEstimation techniquesimfIncomeimfPopulationimfEconometric modelsimfNicaraguaimfPovertyMeasurement.Income distributionEconometric models.Kernel functions.EconometricsMacroeconomicsDemographyPoverty and HomelessnessWelfare, Well-Being, and Poverty: GeneralPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsAggregate Factor Income DistributionDemographic Economics: GeneralEstimationPoverty & precarityPopulation & demographyEconometrics & economic statisticsPovertyPersonal incomeIncome distributionPopulation and demographicsEstimation techniquesIncomePopulationEconometric models339.46Minoiu Camelia874355Reddy Sanjay602369DcWaIMFBOOK9910788232703321Kernel Density Estimation Based on Grouped Data3704156UNINA
