- W106542881 abstract "Suppose someone wants to help the poor. How would he find them? A part of the problem is inevitable: “poor” is an invented category, like tall or beautiful. While we often have a sense of what we mean when we talk about the poor, getting to an operational definition of poverty requires making many rather arbitrary choices. For example, even if we were prepared to bite the bullet and say that people who are below a certain level (“the poverty line”) are the poor and the rest are not, we would not know how to set that critical level. For one, the level of what? Income, consumption and wealth are the obvious candidates, but one could no doubt think of others. Of these income might seem the most natural, till one starts worrying about challenges of measuring incomes: after all, incomes vary a lot, especially for the poor who tend not to have salaried jobs, and some of that day-to-day or month-to-month variation is expected or even deliberate (think of the vendor who takes a day off each week) and does not affect what they can buy or consume (because they spend out of their savings or borrow). In other words we run the danger of calling the vendor poor because we measured his income on his off day." @default.
