摘要：In recent years, economists with differing views on many income distribution issues have begun to call for a public policy aimed at reducing poverty, rather than income inequality per se. Studies of variations in income inequality among regions have appeared in economics journals for several decades, 1 but less work has been devoted to regional poverty measurement. This paper brings together recent theoretical and statistical advances in poverty measurement and develops a methodology for studying variations in poverty across small regions using readily available data from the Census Bureau.
