Empirical illustration with EU-SILC data (20+ countries):
➡️ deprivations tend to couple (MD poor are less likely to exit existing deprivation + more likely to enter new deprivation
➡️patterns often stable over time
➡️interesting cross-country variation

Framework permits
✅permits analysis of dynamics among individual deprivations of MPI
✅respects nature of MPI measurement
✅offers novel insights on coupling of deprivations
✅even feasible with short run panel data

We also touch upon related paper, where we combine projections and simulation-techniques to analyze covid & related policy responses. Permits us to account for time lapsed since last data collection. Common issue many countries.

Empirical analysis features 70+ countries.

We also discuss implications for other non-monetary indicators: accurate projections require proper account of upper and lower bounds of outcome variables. Sometimes overlooked.
