本研究报告介绍了《发展研究杂志》关于发展中国家经济流动性和贫困动态的特刊。除了提供一个概念框架外，它还概述了这些贡献如何融入现有文献。在这些研究中出现了一系列问题。穷人包括那些一直贫穷的人-在任何时候都贫穷的人-以及那些陷入贫穷和摆脱贫穷的人，后一个群体的人数往往惊人地多。无论从绝对还是相对的角度来看贫困，这种陷入和摆脱贫困的趋势都是显而易见的。捐赠基金回报的变化可能是增加收入的一个有力来源。最后，看似短暂的冲击可能产生长期后果。最后，本研究提出了这些问题的政策含义。
This study provides an introduction to this special issue of The Journal of Development Studies on economic mobility and poverty dynamics in developing countries. In addition to providing a conceptual framework, it outlines how the contributions fit into the extant literature. A series of regularities emerge across these studies. The poor consist of those who are always poor - poor at all dates - and those who move in and out of poverty, with the latter group tending to be strikingly large. Such movements in and out of poverty are apparent when looking at poverty in either absolute or relative terms. Changes in returns to endowments cart be a potent source of increased incomes. Finally, seemingly transitory shocks can have long-term consequences. The study concludes by drawing out the policy implications of these regularities.
