Abstract

Poverty estimates from household surveys are not available every year for most economies. To address these data gaps and to aggregate poverty estimates across groups of economies (and the world), adjustments to household survey data are needed to align estimates to common reference years. This note summarizes the methods and data used for aligning (or lining up) and aggregating World Bank poverty estimates to common reference years. The data and methods presented here are the ones used in PovcalNet as of 2019, and build on the approach described by Chen and Ravallion (2004), and also documented in Ferreira et al. (2015), Jolliffe et al (2014) and World Bank (2018). The note summarizes the methodology, as described in these sources and implemented in PovcalNet, and the current data sources used.
