摘要

世界银行1990年和2000/01年《世界发展报告》提供的关于全球收入贫困程度、分布和趋势的估计既没有意义也不可靠。世界银行使用武断的国际贫穷线,与贫穷的任何明确概念无关。它采用了一种误导和不准确的购买力等效度量,破坏了对收入贫困的国际和跨时期比较。它从有限的数据中错误地推断,从而制造出一种精确的表象,掩盖了其估计的高可能误差。这三个缺陷带来的系统性扭曲,很可能导致对全球收入贫困程度的严重低估,并导致对收入贫困程度已经下降的错误推断。一种新的全球贫困评估方法是可行和必要的。

Unknown: The Extent, Distribution and Trend of Global Income Poverty
The estimates of the extent, distribution and trend of global income poverty provided in the World Bank's World Development Reports for 1990 and 2000/01 are neither meaningful nor reliable. The Bank uses an arbitrary international poverty line unrelated to any clear conception of what poverty is. It employs a misleading and inaccurate measure of purchasing power equivalence that vitiates international and inter-temporal comparisons of income poverty. It extrapolates incorrectly from limited data and thereby creates an appearance of precision that masks the high probable error of its estimates. The systematic distortion introduced by these three flaws likely leads to a large understatement of the extent of global income poverty and to an incorrect inference that it has declined. A new methodology of global poverty assessment is feasible and necessary.
