Popis: I discuss the applicability of the recentered influence function (RIF) to the analysis of poverty differentials between distributions (regression-based decomposition into composition and income structure effects). I show that the predominant approach in the empirical literature estimates the relationship between individual poverty functions of additive measures, particularly the head-count ratio, and household attributes.
