Abstract

Poverty measures are used to measure poverty levels or degrees of poverty in a population. Stochastic dominance refers to a set of relations between distributions. Stochastic dominance orders of poverty measures have been discussed by many authors in the literature. In this paper, definition of stochastic dominance is introduced and used to order poverty measures. Hypotheses testing on stochastic dominance ordering of poverty measures are obtained. For illustration, our results are applied to the real data sets collected in Egypt between 1995/1996 to 2008/2009.
