Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Economic Inequality and Poverty examines how methods for measuring inequality and poverty have evolved. Kakwani and Son draw on household surveys to demonstate a framework based on economic variables that can be applied to draw up evidence-based policies.
MoreLong description:
Issues of economic inequality and poverty have become increasingly central to public debate over the past fifty years. The literature on measuring economic inequality and poverty has vastly expanded, developing many new methods but also generating many controversies. Economic Inequality and Poverty provides a systematic treatment of the development of inequality and poverty, focusing on how income inequality and poverty measurements have evolved in recent decades and identifying approaches to resolving some of the methodological and factual conflicts. The books primary aim is to analyse the relationships between individuals and households distributions of economic variables. These relationships are crucial in understanding many economic phenomena. Kakwani and Son employ household surveys to illustrate the application of their framework, demonstrating its importance in drawing evidence-based policy conclusions.
This is an outstanding research volume for researchers who want to have a deeper understanding of up-to-date issues in the income inequality and poverty measurement research. I highly recommend it.
