Abstract
Among the burgeoning literature on multidimensional poverty indices, the AlkireFoster (AF) measure stands out for its resilience to identify the multidimensionally poor with cut-o¤criteria that cover the spectrum from the union approach to the intersection approach. The intuitive and easy applicability of the identi cation and aggregation methods used by the index are reected in ongoing adoption of the AF measure to di¤erent applications including topics related and unrelated to poverty measurement. This paper shows intuitive ways to monitor changes in multidimensional poverty across time using the AF measure for cross-sectional data. The empirical applications track changes in poverty for a group of countries using DHS datasets. We nd that....
