Full Description
Sletten and Egset's 2004 Fafo paper on measuring monetary poverty in Haiti, which sets out the stylised facts the later poverty work builds on. It predates the ECVH-based profile the corpus also holds, and its point that the majority of the poor live outside Port-au-Prince is one the urban focus of later analysis often loses.
