Τεκμήριο The battle of poverty indicators: consumption vs income based GMI simulation(02/08/2018) Planiteros, George; Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of International and European Economic Studies; Moutos, Thomas; Tsakloglou, PanagiotisThe paper looks at the robustness of the poverty analysis results with respect to the indicator used. In particular, it examines how the interpretation of inequality, poverty, social welfare, as well as, the design and fiscal estimation of the GMI program in Greece differentiate when consumption expenditure rather than income is used for the simulations. For this purpose, the decompositions of specific regional, demographic, educational, and socio-economic characteristics of the qualifying households and the fiscal implications of GMI are analysed. The aim of the paper is to construct the profile of the eligible GMI household on the basis of the two alternative concepts of resources. The hypothesis under testing holds that that there is little overlap between income and expenditure poverty and very few households are both income- and expenditure-poor.
