• Resumen

  • We examine the conditions under which unanimous poverty rankings of income distributions can be obtained for a general class of poverty indices. The �per-capita income gap� and the Shorrocks and Thon poverty measures are particular members of this class. The conditions of dominance are stated in terms of comparisons of the corresponding TIP curves and areas.
