Poverty, Social Exclusion and Stochastic Dominance

Relates to Atkinson's work by using the notions of the equally distributed equivalent income, the constant-elasticity-of-marginal-utility social welfare function, the multidimensionality of welfare, and poverty and inequality measures

Addresses the concerns relating to poverty, social exclusion and stochastic dominance

Analyzes multidimensional poverty orderings by explicitly establishing their dependence on inter-dimensional association
