| Abstract | This paper investigates the impact of economic growth and more specifically robust economic growth along with other macroeconomic determinants on poverty levels using both the U.S. official measure of poverty and an estimated time series of Sen indices of poverty. The results reveal that the period of robust economic expansion that the U.S. economy experienced during the 1990s did not have a significant impact on poverty using either measure. In addition, we find that the impact of growth and other macro controls is dramatically different when a subset of the poverty population, namely nonwhite poverty, is investigated. The percentage of households headed by women is shown to be a significant factor in examining poverty for this subgroup. JEL: I32, I39 |
