MORALES-RAMOS, Marco Antonio e MORALES-RAMOS, Eduardo. La teoría de conjuntos difusos como una opción para medir la pobreza. El caso de México. El trimestre econ [online]. 2008, vol.75, n.299, pp.641-662. Epub 20-Nov-2020. ISSN 2448-718X.
The main purpose of this paper is to present fuzzy sets theory as a reliable and straight forward methodology to measure poverty, which offers comparative advantages with respect to traditional methods. This paper also shows that fuzzy sets methodology is compatible with census data information to compute poverty indices. Results of measuring poverty at state, municipality and locality levels are presented for the case of Mexico and are compared with official results. Comparison reveals that fuzzy sets theory is an alternative that solve some of the methodological problems present in poverty lines and marginalization indices, which makes it a helpful tool to evaluate and implement policies aimed to tackle poverty.
