  1. Poverty Dynamics - Increasing Our Knowledge – Does ‘Q2’ Help? David Lawson Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CPRC) Global Poverty Research Group (GPRG) Institute for Development Policy and Management (IDPM) University of Manchester

  2. Structure of Presentation • Previous Methods used for Extending Knowledge About Extreme Poverty/and Poverty Dynamics • Recent Developments • Does ‘Q2’ add anything to our knowledge? • Future Research Techniques • Summary

  3. Generating Knowledge, and Evaluation:Previous Methods • Qualitative (Participatory etc.) • Quant. (Econometric……), • Evaluation Design (Experimental, Quasi Experimental, Estimation, Difference on differences, etc. )

  4. Q2 Poverty Research • Q2’ methodological discussions, (Cornell 2001, Accra 2003, and Ghana 2004) - Kanbur (2001a) • Barahona et al. 2004 for Malawi, McKay and Howe, (2004) Rwanda; Adato, M, F. Lund and P Mhlongo, (2004),Lawson. McKay Okidi Uganda (2004/5) • Lawson and Hulme (2006) – Uganda

  5. ‘Q2’ Pov research…until recently • Well conducted qualitative survey provide a rich understanding of the processes underlying poverty and pov transitions • BUT - does not allow understanding of the relative importance • BOTH qualitative and quantitative sources can be used in combination to add value to understanding the drivers maintainers and interrupters of poverty but not causality and are is not genuine ‘Q2’

  6. Genuine Q2 - Summary • Corroborate/negate the aggregated and household level quantitative data • Provide more insightful findings regarding the reasons for poverty movements – including social, psychological, occupational reasons etc. • Quantify the impact (as perceived by the household) of each event on the subjective welfare status of the household • Use methods that further interactions and assist interviewee recall – therefore hopefully heightening the quality of the recall information.
