DemographyEstimating wealth effects without expenditure data—or tears: An application to educational enrollments in states of India
5,228 Citations2001Deon Filmer, Lant Pritchett
This work estimates the relationship between household wealth and children’s school enrollment in India by constructing a linear index from asset ownership indicators, using principal-components analysis to derive weights, and shows that this index is robust to the assets included, and produces internally coherent results.

Indicators are suggested for the measurement of the various relevant aspects of access, with the system and population descriptors seen as process indicators and utilization and satisfaction as outcome indicators in a theoretical model of the access concept.

The vulnerability analysis considers the socio-economic impacts of network degradation, on the basis of changes in the levels of accessibility provided by the degraded network, to develop a method for strategic assessment of vulnerability in road networks.

It is suggested that it is feasible to conduct small area analyses in LMICs but that specific attention needs to be given to the size of the geographic unit used in analysis, and the importance of considering deprivation in resource allocation mechanisms if vertical equity goals are to be promoted through resource allocation, particularly within decentralized health systems.
