CHAVEZ-MARTIN DEL CAMPO, Juan Carlos. Poverty Goals. EconoQuantum [online]. 2008, vol.4, n.2, pp.27-34. ISSN 2007-9869.

We develop a methodology to estimate the required time and the minimum necessary growth rate to meet a poverty goal for a series of counterfactual income distributions and growth scenarios. The methodology can be applied to most poverty measures and is illustrated with data from Madagascar.

Palabras llave : Poverty goals; poverty measurement; economic growth; Millenium Development Goals; Madagascar.
