摘要：

A modification of the 'official' Sen poverty index yields an index which is not only continous in individual incomes and consistent with the transfer axiom, but also admits a geometric interpretation in terms of the area beneath a graph called the 'inverse generalized Lorenz curve for normalized poverty gaps' by Jenkins and Lambert (1993) or the 'poverty gap profile' by Shorrocks (1994).
