作者使用了一系列新的、持续40年的、以消费为基础的贫困指标，在考虑城乡和产出构成的情况下，评估了印度贫困人口在该国经济增长中所占的份额。农村消费增长减少了农村和城市地区的贫困。城市增长给城市贫困人口带来了一些好处，但对农村贫困人口没有影响。农村人口向城市人口的转移对贫困没有显著影响。按产出部门分解增长，我们发现第一和第三部门的产出增长减少了城市和农村地区的贫困，但第二部门的增长并没有减少这两个地区的贫困。
Using a new series of consistent, consumption-based poverty measures spanning forty years, the author assess how much India's poor shared in the country's economic growth, taking into account its urban-rural and output composition. Rural consumption growth reduced poverty in both rural and urban areas. Urban growth brought some benefits to the urban poor, but had no impact on rural poverty. And rural-to-urban population shifts had no significant impact on poverty. Decomposing growth by output sectors, we found that output growth in the primary and tertiary sectors reduced poverty in both urban and rural areas but that secondary sector growth did not reduce poverty in either.
