Research

Current research interests include axiomatic foundations for multidimensional poverty measurement and eliciting people’s values over multiple dimensions of poverty to inform the construction of multidimensional poverty measures.  Natalie is also interested evaluating the impact of development interventions on poverty and inequality.  Earlier research focussed on the measurement of poverty over time.
