全球贫困人口统计使用的是全球贫困线，通常被称为每天一美元的贫困线，按2005年国际价格计算，目前为1.25美元，其构建和应用取决于消费的购买力平价（PPP）汇率。用于此目的的购买力平价基础的价格指数是为国民收入核算而构建的，使用代表总消费模式的权重，而不是全球穷人的消费模式。我们使用来自62个发展中国家的家庭调查来计算全球贫困加权购买力平价，并计算全球贫困线和新的全球贫困人数。（jel c43, e21, f31, i32, o15）
The global poverty count uses a common global poverty line, often referred to as the dollar-a-day line, currently $1.25 at 2005 international prices, whose construction and application depends on purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates for consumption. The price indexes that underlie the PPPs used for this purpose are constructed for purposes of national income accounting, using weights that represent patterns of aggregate consumption, not the consumption patterns of the global poor. We use household surveys from 62 developing countries to calculate global poverty-weighted PPPs and to calculate global poverty lines and new global poverty counts. (JEL C43, E21, F31, I32, O15)
