Why Forests Are Important for Global Poverty Alleviation: a Spatial Explanation (2008, background): “Likewise, chronic poverty has been observed to be a correlate of high poverty rate, depth, and severity, but this tendency cannot be assumed in all cases and remains an empirical question in need of verification (Hulme 2003, Hulme and Shepherd 2003).”
Informal Entrepreneurship in Developing Economies: The Impacts of Starting up Unregistered on firm Performance (2017, background): “…live in transient poverty (fluctuating between different degrees of poverty) and the costs of registration may lead to major financial difficulties (Hulme & Shepherd, 2003), while the weak formal institutions result in fewer benefits from registration (De Mel, McKenzie, & Woodruff, 2012; Thai &…”
Escaping poverty and becoming poor: who gains, who loses, and why? Accounting for stability and change in 35 North Indian villages. (2003, background): “See, for instance, Gaiha (1989a) and Hulme and Shepherd (2003).”
Green Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa: Implications of Imposed Innovation for the Wellbeing of Rural Smallholders (2016, background): “Furthermore the chronically poor often require targeted policies such as social protection to address the power relations which reproduce their poverty (Cleaver, 2005; Hulme & Shepherd, 2003).”
Low cost private schooling in India: Is it pro poor and equitable? (2011, methodology): “The use of such an index is supported by the Chronic Poverty Research Centre (2005) and Hulme (2003), who argue that asset wealth provides a more temporally stable picture of family wealth.”
The economics of poverty traps and persistent poverty: An asset-based approach (2006, background): “The study of poverty dynamics and the identification of critical asset thresholds are among the tasks best suited to mixing qualitative and quantitative methods (Hulme and Shepherd 2003).”
Entrenchment or Enhancement: Could Climate Change Adaptation Help to Reduce Chronic Poverty? (2009, background): “From an ecological perspective, vulnerability can be understood through the frequency and magnitude of a system’s response to an external event, such as a hazard, defined in poverty terms as a risk of inability to cope with a shock, leading to catastrophe (Hulme and Shepherd 2003).”
The Influence of Formal and Informal Institutional Voids on Entrepreneurship (2020, background): “Such pursuits often require less skill and are easily imitated, but can also be unstable given the challenges to grow ventures beyond their initial size (Mead & Liedholm, 1998) and their overall susceptibility to environmental shocks (Hulme & Shepherd, 2003).”
Adaptation and development: Livelihoods and climate change in Subarnabad, Bangladesh (2009, neutral): “Poverty was defined according to the community’s categorization of social classes, and the factors they employed (Ellis, 2000; Hulme and Shepherd, 2003).”
Programs for the Poorest: Learning from the IGVGD Program in Bangladesh (2003, background): “This applies to the occasionally poor and churning poor (see Hulme & Shepherd, 2003) to stop their income from dipping under the poverty line, and to the chronic poor to reduce the level that their income falls below the poverty line.”
For Reducing Poverty Faster: Target Reasons Before People (2007, background): “In addition, there is also a group of the chronic or persistent poor, as described by Hulme and Shepherd (2003).”
Does it Matter that we do not Agree on the Definition of Poverty? A Comparison of Four Approaches (2003, background): “…credit and insurance constrained, therefore, there is a case for shorter time periods that allow a greater differentiation between the chronic poor (variously defined as those always below a poverty line, or those, on average, below a poverty line; Hulme & Shepherd, 2003) and the transitory poor.”
