The economic lives of the poor
by Abhijit Banerjee
This paper uses survey data from 13 countries to document the economic lives of the poor (those living on less than $2 dollar per day per capita at purchasing power parity) or the extremely poor (those living on less than $1 dollar per day). We describe their patterns of consumption and income generation as well as their access to markets and publicly provided infrastructure. The paper concludes with a discussion of some apparent anomalous choices. Keywords: Poverty, Development, Consumption Choices. JEL Classifications: O10, O15, O16.
