Abstract
The primary aim of this paper is to show how can we construct poverty measures from grouped data, i.e., to show how can we derive poverty measures from parameterized Lorenz curve? In this paper, Gaurav Datt’s approach has been applied. The derived poverty measures are estimated in the case of Macedonia, using interactive software package “Povcal", created by the World Bank.
Our findings suggest two main conclusions: 1) the high poverty level is accompanied with a moderate level of income inequality, and 2) the transmission mechanism from the economic growth to poverty reduction is working properly.
