在这篇文章中，我们使用最近完成的三个国家的“贫困地图”作为预先评估公共资源地理定位的分布发生率的工具。我们模拟了根据人口的相对贫困状况，将外生给定的预算转移到地理上定义的人口亚群对贫困的影响。我们发现，瞄准较小的行政单位，如区或村庄，可以获得巨大的收益。然而，如果规划者能够获得有关家庭收入或消费的信息，这些成果仍远未达到减贫的可能。我们的结果表明，一个有用的前进方式可能是将使用贫困地图的精细地理定位与社区内定位机制相结合。(C)2006爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
In this paper, we employ recently completed "poverty maps" for three countries as tools for an ex ante evaluation of the distributional incidence of geographic targeting of public resources. We simulate the impact on poverty of transferring an exogenously given budget to geographically defined sub-groups of the population according to their relative poverty status. We find large gains from targeting smaller administrative units, such as districts or villages. However, these gains are still far from the poverty reduction that would be possible had the planners had access to information on household level income or consumption. Our results indicate that a useful way forward might be to combine fine geographic targeting using a poverty map with within-community targeting mechanisms. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
