Computing, Decomposing and Interpreting Changes in the Human Opportunity Index - HOI Ricardo Paes de Barros - SAE Brasília, April 2011
1.How to compute the HOI? Identify the circumstance groups
1. How to compute the HOI? Identify the circumstance groups Compute all group specific coverage rates
1. How to compute the HOI? Identify the circumstance groups Compute all group specific coverage rates Compute the overall coverage rate
1. How to compute the HOI? Identify the circumstance groups Compute all group specific coverage rates Compute the overall coverage rate Compute all inequality of opportunity consistent coverage rates
1. How to compute the HOI? Identify the circumstance groups Compute all group specific coverage rates Compute the overall coverage rate Compute all inequality of opportunity consistent coverage rates Compute the HOI as the average of all inequality of opportunity consistent coverage rates
2. HOI as the overall coverage rate minus a penalty due to violation of the principle of equal opportunity
3. An important limitation of HOI: Total lack of sensitivity to transfers among vulnerable groups

4. Introducing a new HOI sensitive to transfers among vulnerable groups: The geometric mean
5. Decomposing changes in HOI: The Scale and Equalizing Effects
6. Optimum targetingand the losses due to imperfect targeting
7. Decomposing changes in HOI: The Role of Changes in the Distribution of Circumstances
