The workshop had been requested by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget to evaluate progress in moving toward a new measure of poverty, as recommended by the 1995 report, Measuring Poverty: A New Approach. Experimental Poverty Measures is the summary of that workshop. This report discusses which components of alternative measures are methodologically sound and which might need further refinement, toward the goal of narrowing the number of alternative measures that should be considered. 606 $aPoverty$zUnited States$xStatistical methods 606 $aPoor$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aIncome distribution$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aHouseholds$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aWealth$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aPoverty$xStatistical methods. 615 0$aPoor 615 0$aIncome distribution 615 0$aHouseholds 615 0$aWealth 701 $aIceland$b John$f1970-$01090295 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPlanning Group for the Workshop to Assess the Current Status of Actions Taken in Response to Measuring Poverty: A New Approach, 712 12$aWorkshop on Experimental Poverty Measures$f(2004 :$eWashington, D.C.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bOkU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966806603321 996 $aExperimental poverty measures$94318049 997 $aUNINA
