They employ traditional and multidimensional approaches, but overall focus on 'the construction of time related measures of deprivation at individual and aggregated levels.' The essays are organized into three sections on poverty as a multidimensional phenomena, assessing chronic poverty longitudinally and a concept of 'intertemporal poverty,' and finally estimating poverty in small areas. They are accompanied by tables and other graphical aids. The contributors are mostly economics professors from Europe, with a few from the US and other parts of the world.\" \u003c\/strong\u003e- \u003cem\u003eBook News\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Ultimately, this is an intriguing book on many levels. The breadth of topics covered and the detail of the methods used are without doubt outstanding. I learnt much about how poverty could be measured, and the challenges that face analysts in so doing.
