如何调整多层面贫困指数，以产生量化多重剥夺的共同发生率及其长期性的措施？本文采用了一种新的方法来衡量慢性多维贫困。它依赖于Alkire和Foster(2011)的计数方法来衡量每个时间段的多维贫困，然后又依赖Foster(2009)的持续期方法来衡量多维贫困在时间上的持久性。拟议的指数对以下两个方面都很敏感：(1)人们被剥夺的层面所占比例；(2)他们多层面贫困经历的持续时间。还提出了一套相关的指标来衡量暂时性贫困。使用一组相关的公理分析了所提出的两个家族的行为。以智利1996年至2006年期间的小组数据集为例，提供了一个经验例证。
How can indices of multidimensional poverty be adapted to produce measures that quantify both the joint incidence of multiple deprivations and their chronicity? This paper adopts a new approach to the measurement of chronic multidimensional poverty. It relies on the counting approach of Alkire and Foster (2011) for the measurement of multidimensional poverty in each time period and then on the duration approach of Foster (2009) for the measurement of multidimensional poverty persistence across time. The proposed indices are sensitive both to (i) the share of dimensions in which people are deprived and (ii) the duration of their multidimensional poverty experience. A related set of indices is also proposed to measure transient poverty. The behaviour of the proposed two families is analysed using a relevant set of axioms. An empirical illustration is provided with a Chilean panel dataset spanning the period from 1996 to 2006.
