“…Multidimensional child poverty occurs across the income distribution across time in both countries using different indicators for multidimensional poverty. The association between monetary and multidimensional child poverty is stronger in Vietnam due to the set of indicators underpinning the measure of multidimensional poverty (Roelen, 2017). Community members across all fieldwork sites indicated household wealth and material child wellbeing to be distinct concepts with their own criteria.…”

“…Before proceeding to analyse explanations of poverty mismatch, we report outcomes for monetary and multidimensional child poverty in Ethiopia and Vietnam and their degree of mismatch as investigated in earlier work (Roelen, 2017). Measures of monetary child poverty are based on real per capita consumption in Ethiopia and real per capita expenditures in Vietnam while measures of multidimensional child poverty include country-specific sets of indicators and employ the 'counting approach' for aggregation (Atkinson, 2003), mirroring methodologies as applied by OPHI's Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) and UNICEF's Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (de Neubourg et al, 2014).…”

“…Evidence with respect to child poverty is less extensive but points towards similar mismatch patterns (Notten, 2012;Roelen et al, 2012;Roelen and Notten 2013) and indicates that monetary and multidimensional child poverty are different phenomena (Roelen, 2017).…”

An expanding evidence base suggests that children experiencing monetary and multidimensional poverty are not the same. This article breaks new ground by providing a unique mixed methods investigation of drivers of child poverty mismatch in Ethiopia and Vietnam, considering the role of measurement error and individualistic and structural factors. The analysis capitalises on large-scale secondary quantitative panel data and combines this with purposively collected primary qualitative data in both countries. It finds that factors at the household and structural level can mediate the effects of monetary poverty in terms of multidimensional poverty and vice versa, but that the size and sign of these effects are specific to place and time. The policy mix aiming to reduce all forms of child poverty need to be targeted on the basis of a multidimensional assessment of poverty and reflect the complex and contextspecific interactions between determinants of child poverty.Une base de données croissante suggère que les enfants qui connaissent une pauvreté monétaire sont différents de ceux qui connaissent une pauvreté multidimensionnelle. Cet article ouvre une nouvelle voie en fournissant une analyse unique sur les facteurs entrainant un déséquilibre de la pauvreté infantile en É thiopie et au Vietnam, en utilisant des méthodes mixtes et en considérant le rôle de l'erreur de mesure et des facteurs individualistes et structurels. L'analyse s'appuie sur des données d'un panel quantitatif secondaire à grande échelle et les combines avec des données qualitatives primaires recueillies délib-érément dans les deux pays. Elle constate que les facteurs au niveau des ménages et de la structure peuvent agir comme médiateurs des effets de la pauvreté monétaire en termes de pauvreté multidimensionnelle et vice et versa, mais que le taille et le signe de ces effets sont spécifiques au lieu et au temps. Le dosage des politiques visant à réduire toutes les formes de pauvreté infantile doit être ciblé sur la base d'une évaluation multidimensionnelle de la pauvreté et refléter les interactions complexes et contextuelles entre les déterminants de la pauvreté infantile.

Heterogeneous effects of violence on student achievement: Evidence from Colombia

In this paper, I study the causal relationship between violence and human capital accumulation. Due to a power vacuum left in conflict zones of Colombia after the 2016 peace agreement, large spikes in violence were reported in the municipalities of the country dominated by the rebel group FARC. I compare student test scores in municipalities that experienced the increase in violence to the ones that did not, before and after the national peace agreement. I find that a 10% increase in the homicide rate reduces average high school test scores by approximately 0.03 standard deviations. However, this impact is greater in the case of poor students who suffered a reduction of about 0.1 standard deviations per subject area, equivalent to 3.3 percentage points out of the final score. I also consider heterogeneity by gender finding a slightly larger negative impact on female students. This disparate effect on women and on the poorest students adds new evidence to the literature on the effects of armed conflict on learning outcomes.

Disparity in income poverty and multidimensional poverty estimates: The Indian scenario with special reference to Salboni and Binpur‐I blocks

There is no consensus among studies about how to define or measure poverty. Two widely used criteria to estimate poverty are the minimum expenditure criteria (income or monetary poverty) and the extent of deprivation regarding different dimensions representing quality of living of individuals (multidimensional poverty). This study compares income poverty and multidimensional poverty estimates across Indian states in recent years. Although both the poverty estimates indicate significant reduction in poverty, income and multidimensional poverty estimates differ significantly. Then the critical question is whether both measures identify the same set of households as poor or not.If alternate definitions of poverty identify different households as poor then we should be cautious about choosing the correct method to estimate poverty. In this context, we have studied the cases of two blocks, Salboni and Binpur I from Paschim Medinipur district in West Bengal. Using our own data from these two blocks, we find that poverty incidence calculated using two different measures for Salboni and Binpur I blocks give significantly different estimates. Even though most of the multidimensional poor households were also identified as income poor, not all income poor households were identified as multidimensionally poor.
