ABSTRACT

This paper examines how normative reasoning was applied to empirical applications of different indicator options in order to revise the global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) indicators in 2018, to better align with the SDGs. Given the emphasis in the SDGs on leaving no one behind, the household surveys used to estimate the global MPI were explored to see which could create individual-level MPIs, however this sharply reduced country coverage by half. Consistent criteria is applied to assess whether 33 potential additional indicators could be added to strengthen the global MPI. A certain set of criteria applied rules out new indicators. Finally, the paper both illustrates and describes the iterative interplay of normative and technical considerations underlying adjustments in three original indicators – child mortality, nutrition, and housing – which involves considering the joint distribution of alternative indicators across twenty trial measures for all countries.

摘要

本文探讨了如何将规范性推理应用于不同指标选项的经验应用，以便在2018年修订全球多维贫困指数（MPI）指标，以更好地与可持续发展目标保持一致。鉴于可持续发展目标强调不让任何人落后，因此对用于估计全球MPI的家庭调查进行了探索，以了解哪些可以创建个人级别的MPI，但是这却使国家覆盖率大大降低了一半。应用一致的标准来评估是否可以添加33个潜在的附加指标来增强全球MPI。应用的某些标准排除了新的指标。最后，本文同时说明和描述了在三项原始指标（儿童死亡率，营养，
