    "additionalInfo": "The share in extreme poverty, estimated by Michail Moatsos based on the 'cost of basic needs'-approach.\n\nThe \u2018cost of basic needs\u2019-approach was recommended by the \u2018World Bank Commission on Global Poverty\u2019, headed by Tony Atkinson, as a complementary method in measuring poverty.\n\nTony Atkinson \u2013 and after his death his colleagues \u2013 turned this report into a book that was published as Anthony B. Atkinson (2019) \u2013 Measuring Poverty around the World. You find more information on Atkinson\u2019s website.\n\nThe CBN-approach Moatsos\u2019 work is based on was suggested by Allen in Robert Allen (2017) \u2013 Absolute poverty: When necessity displaces desire. In American Economic Review, Vol. 107/12, pp. 3690-3721, https://doi.org/10.1257/aer.20161080 \n\nMoatsos describes the methodology as follows: \u201cIn this approach, poverty lines are calculated for every year and country separately, rather than using a single global line. The second step is to gather the necessary data to operationalise this approach, alongside imputation methods in cases where not all the necessary data are available. The third step is to devise a method for aggregating countries\u2019 poverty estimates on a global scale to account for countries that lack some of the relevant data.\u201d In his publication \u2013 linked above \u2013 you find much more detail on all of the shown poverty data.\n\nThe share in poverty for the $1.90, $5, $10 and $30 poverty lines are also included.",
