Measuring Poverty around the World

Atkinson died before he was able to complete the book. but at his request it was edited for publication by two of his colleagues. John Micklewright and Andrea Brandolini. In addition, François Bourguignon and Nicholas Stern provide afterwords that address key issues from the unfinished chapters : how poverty relates to growth, inequality, and climate change. The result is an essential contribution to efforts to alleviate poverty around the world.
