Abstract

This paper proposes a class of intertemporal poverty measures based on a sequence-speciﬁc weighted average of an individual’s snapshot poverty measures. The weight assigned to the level of poverty in each time period is determined by the number of periods of relative aﬄuence directly preceding that poor period. These can have a short-lived mitigating eﬀect on a subsequent poverty period. The properties of the measures are elaborated and an axiomatic foundation is provided
