| Abstract: | In this paper, we consider methods of inference for vector measures of inequality and poverty. These vector measures may consist
of several different scalar measures of inequality or poverty in a single dimension, several scalar measures of poverty which
use different poverty lines, or several scalar measures of inequality or poverty in different dimensions. Our proposed methods
are illustrated with a Monte Carlo simulation and two empirical examples utilizing Canadian household data. |
