Excellent- More about Hierarchy of Needs and the Measurement of Poverty and Standards of Living
The choice of durable goods and assets is hierarchical, with an order of acquisition based on real incomes. Two main approaches, Paroush and Item Response Theory, are presented, and an empirical illustration is based on the 2019 Eurobarometer Survey. Measures of inequality, poverty, and welfare can be derived from this order, and an order of curtailment of expenditures when individuals face financial difficulties is also shown.

The concept of hierarchy in choice is central to this Element, suggesting that as real incomes increase, there is a systematic order in the acquisition of durable goods and assets. Two primary approaches are presented to establish this order: the Paroush approach and Item Response Theory. To illustrate this concept, an empirical example is provided based on the 2019 Eurobarometer Survey.
The Element concludes with two sections. The first section demonstrates how measures of inequality, poverty, and welfare can be derived from this acquisition order. The second section highlights the existence of an order of expenditure reduction when individuals encounter financial difficulties.
