现在越来越多地关注发展中国家的贫穷动态。这项研究将家庭在收入冲击下平稳消费或平稳资产的程度、关于家庭进入和摆脱贫困的经验证据，以及暂时冲击可能产生永久性后果的可能性联系起来。本文利用津巴布韦农村地区的纵向数据，通过按资产持有水平分解冲击的影响、分解冲击对个人福利的影响以及评估冲击对永久性后果的影响程度，扩展了对这些问题的讨论。B)这样做，它评估了区分资产和消费平滑的有效性，并提供了关于是否评估了贫困动态的见解(如果家庭一级提供了个人一级的所有动态的充分情况)。
Increasing attention is now being paid to poverty dynamics in developing countries. This work links the extent to which households smooth consumption or smooth assets given income shocks, the empirical evidence on the churning of households in and out of poverty and the possibility that temporary shocks can have permanent consequences. Using longitudinal data from rural Zimbabwe, this paper extends the discussion of these issues by disaggregating the impact of shocks by levels of asset holdings, by disaggregating the impact of shocks oil individual level welfare and by assessing the extent to which such shocks have permanent consequences. B) doing so, it assesses the validity of distinguishing between asset and consumption smoothing and provides insights into whether poverty dynamics assessed (it the household level provide all adequate picture of dynamics at the individual level.
