Shatakshee DhongdeShatakshee Dhongde (Economics), was invited to present her research at an international conference on Economics of Global Poverty, held January 5-7 at Gordon College in Massachusetts. The conference drew together scholars and practitioners working on different aspects of the economics of global poverty, from theoretical to empirical work and at macro or micro scales of analysis.
Dhongde presented a paper, co-authored with Robert Haveman (University of Wisconsin, Madison) on “Multi-dimensional Poverty in the U.S,” which put forth ways of developing measures of multi-dimensional poverty uniquely suited to the United States. Utilizing multiple dimensions of deprivation provides a more complete picture of poverty, as the poor are not only those who lack income but also those who lack the capability to lead a normal life.
Shatakshee Dhongde is an assistant professor in the School of Economics. Her research analyzes globalization and its impact on economic growth, poverty, and income inequality. She was awarded the Nancy and Richard Ruggles Prize for young researchers for her paper measuring segregation of the poor.
