Book Description
Anti-poverty programs implemented in developing countries typically have multiple goals beyond improving income levels. In order to provide a comprehensive measure of program effectiveness in the presence of multiple outcomes, I introduce multidimensional poverty measures to the program evaluation literature. I combine robust multidimensional poverty measures with difference-in-difference matching estimators to evaluate the impact of the Targeting the Ultra-Poor (TUP) program undertaken in Bangladesh. This project aimed to improve the well-being of families living in chronic poverty. I find that the TUP program reduced multidimensional poverty among the treated group by 18 percentage points relative to the comparison group.
