在非洲农村，资产对当地的贫穷和富裕定义很重要。然而，它们在资产指数中的使用可能会错过当地价值的变化。我们提供了来自坦桑尼亚17个村庄的数据，以探索全国各地财富和贫困含义的差异。尽管我们的网站选择有局限性，但我们发现相当大的多样性使得单一资产指数难以编制。目前的简化资产指数有可能计入在当地无关紧要的资产。
Assets are important to local definitions of poverty and wealth in rural Africa. Yet their use in asset indices can miss locally valued change. We present data from 17 villages across Tanzania to explore differences in the meaning of wealth and poverty across the country. Despite limitations in our site selection we found considerable diversity that makes a single asset index difficult to compile. Current abbreviated asset indices risk counting assets that do not matter locally.
