Summary, etc. Abstract<br/>Over the past 50 years, economic inequality and poverty have become central to public debates. The literature on economic inequality and poverty has been vastly expanded to develop new methods and generate new applications. This book provides a rigorous analysis of inequality and poverty, focusing on how income inequality and poverty measurements have evolved in the past 50 years. It has also attempted to resolve some of the controversies. The book’s primary focus is on analyzing the relationships among individuals’ or households’ distributions of economic variables. These relationships are crucial in understanding various economic phenomena. The book has developed many new techniques and provided policy applications using those techniques. It has utilized household surveys to illustrate the applications of methods, showing how they can help draw evidence-based policy conclusions.
