The (Evolving) Role of Agriculture in Poverty Reduction: An Empirical Perspective (2011, background): “Let Pi be any (decomposable) measure of poverty and Yi be gross domestic product (GDP) per capita (that is, per person in the total population, not per worker) in country i.”
An Economic Vulnerability Index: Its Design and Use for International Development Policy (2009, unknown): “Our main concern until now has been to assess the growth and inequality elasticities of poverty (there’s a good illustration in Adams 2004), but without a similar concern with regard to the effects of income instability on poverty reduction.”
Poverty and economic growth: a review (2016, background): “…a unified approach to economic growth and poverty, e.g. Datt and Ravallion (1992), Kakwani (1993), Person and Tabellini (1994), Deininger and Squire (1996), Easterley (2000), Dollar and Kraay (2002), Bourguignon (2003), Adams (2004), Ferreira (2010), Fosu (2010), Quah (2003) and many others.”
Growth, Inequality and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa: Recent Progress in a Global Context (2015, background): “Finally, Adams (2004) emphasised the importance of measuring growth, whether using survey income or GDP, but also presented elasticity estimates showing that the growth (absolute) elasticity of poverty is greater for the group of countries with a lower level of inequality.”
Inequality and the Impact of Growth on Poverty: Comparative Evidence for Sub-Saharan Africa (2009, background): “Meanwhile, a number of studies find that inequality plays an important role in the income–growth–poverty relationship (e.g., Adams 2004; Bourguignon 2003; Easterly 2000; Epaulard 2003; Fosu 2007; Kalwij and Verschoor 2007; Ravallion 1997).”
Does Tourism Reduce Poverty in Sub-Saharan African Countries? (2020, methodology): “To examine the effects of tourism on poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa, we followed the studies by Adams (2004) and Kim, Song, and Pyun (2016).”
The Role of Agriculture in Poverty Reduction - An Empirical Perspective (2006, result): “…that economic growth reduces poverty, the GDP elasticity of poverty increasing from -1.7 for the H measure to -2.0 for the PG measure and -2.2 for SPG (all of which are statistically significant—see panel A in Table 6) and comparable with earlier estimates by Ravallion (2001) and Adams (2004).”
Growth, Inequality, and Poverty Reduction in Developing Countries: Recent Global Evidence (2017, background): “3 The six regions are: East Asia and the Pacific (EAP), 1 Fosu (2015) presents similar findings for sub-Saharan Africa.”
Does inequality constrain poverty reduction programs? Evidence from Africa ☆ (2010, background): “Considering two subsamples, Adams (2004) also finds that the growth elasticity of poverty is larger for the group with the smaller value of the Gini coefficient (less inequality).”
Reinventing Foreign Aid for Inclusive and Sustainable Development: Kuznets, Piketty and the Great Policy Reversal (2016, unknown): “With stylized facts substantiating “immiserizing growth” (Bhagwati, 1958)5, a growing stream of the literature provides strong support for the crucial role of inequality in poverty-growth transformation (Adams, 2004; Fosu, 2011, 2014; Kalwij & Verschoor, 2007; Thorbecke, 2013).”
Have Economic Growth And Institutional Quality Contributed To Poverty And Inequality Reduction In Asia (2013, background): “Among the remedies for improving the poverty situation is economic growth, which has been widely cited as being significant in improving the lives of the poor [1-4].”
Ethnic Diversity and Poverty (2017, background): “Given the ongoing importance of addressing poverty, many studies have focused on how, and why, economic factors affect poverty (see, e.g., Adams, 2004; Beck, Demirguc-Kunt, & Levine, 2005; Dollar & Kraay, 2004; Fan, Hazell, & Thorat, 2000; Ravallion, 1995).”
