Determinants of Income Mobility and Household Poverty Dynamics in South Africa (2005, positive): “Moreover expenditures might, in most cases, be more accurately captured, particularly among the poor who have relatively constant and well-known expenditures on relatively few items while their incomes can be very erratic und unpredictable (Ravallion, 1992, Deaton, 1997, Klasen, 2000).”
Searching for Triple Dividends in South Africa: Fighting CO2 pollution and poverty while promoting growth (2006, background): “Even though average income statistics imply that South Africa is a middle-income country, most of the population experience serious absolute poverty or are vulnerable to poverty (May 2000; Klasen 2000; Woolard 2002).”
Weights in Multidimensional Indices of Wellbeing: An Overview (2013, neutral): “Statistical Weights Krishnakumar and Nadar (2008) distinguish two broad sets of statistical approaches that are employed to select the most appropriate weighting scheme: descriptive and explanatory models.”
Measuring Pro-Poor Growth in Non-Income Dimensions (2008, methodology): “Based on this approach many empirical poverty assessments including social indicators have been undertaken (e.g., Klasen 2000; Grimm, Guénard, and Mesplé-Somps 2002).”

The Capability Approach: Its Development, Critiques and Recent Advances (2005, methodology): “Second, several studies have investigated the links between income (or expenditure) and various capabilities (e.g. Sen, 1985; 1999; Balestrino, 1996; Ruggeri-Laderchi, 1997; Klasen, 2000).”

The Ability to go about Without Shame: A Proposal for Internationally Comparable Indicators of Shame and Humiliation (2007, neutral): “In practice, measures of social exclusion often focus on identifying inequalities between different groups in non-income spaces such as health or educational outcomes (Klasen, 2000 ), on the premise that these inequalities map directly on to exclusion.”

The Construction of an Asset Index Measuring Asset Accumulation in Ecuador (2007, neutral): “For example, Klasen (2000) identifies 14 components of well-being and sums up the number that are unsatisfactory for a given households to arrive at a “deprivation index.” However, as Hulme and McKay point out,”
An overview of poverty and inequality in South Africa (2002, methodology): “For example, Klasen (2000) compares a standard expenditure-based poverty measure with a specifically created composite measure of deprivation.”
