The Structurally and Stochastically Poor in Vietnam
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims to measure poverty dynamics in Vietnam using the most recent Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey (VHLSS) from 2010. Since there are no panel data between the 2010 VHLSS and the previous studies, this study uses the asset approach to estimate the proportion of structurally and stochastically poor. It is found that the proportion of structurally and stochastically poor is 11.1 percent and 9.6 percent, respectively. Nearly half of the poor are the stochastically poor. The proportion of stochastically non-poor, who are non-poor but vulnerable to poverty, is small, at around 3.7 percent.

In this paper we prove some stochastic comparisons results for progressive type II censored order statistics. The problem of stochastically comparing concomitants of the two progressive type II censored order statistics with possibly different schemes, under different kinds of dependence between X and Y is considered and it is proved that if Y is stochastically increasing (decreasing) in X, ...
