      abstract = {This book aims to empirically and theoretically study how  the economic growth and inequality affected China's rural  poverty since China's reform and opening-up. Apart from the  trickle-down effect, some empirical researches show that  rising inequality usually links with unfairly shared of the  economic growth, which is not good for the poor, and this  book particularly concerns with the impact of inequality on  poverty reduction. In 11 chapters, it leads readers to  review the dynamic changes of rural poverty in China, and  estimates rural poverty by various methods, for instance,  with analysis by monetary poverty (including income and  expenditure poverty), multidimensional poverty, absolute  poverty, and relative poverty. Especially attention is paid  to apply the growth-inequality-poverty triangle model for  long-term poverty dynamic changes evaluation. The book  revisits poverty reduction strategies in different  development periods for rural China and evaluates the  poverty eradication achievements stage-by-stage under  different analytical methods, in order to provide an  objective assessment. Among the chapters, pro-poor growth,  Shapley decomposition, poverty elasticity, density  estimation, multidimensional poverty analysis, and policy  simulation methods are applied for both national wide  discussion and rural sub-group heterogeneity analysis. In  addition to students, teachers, and researchers in the  areas of development, economic growth, equity, and welfare,  the book is also of great interest to policy makers,  planners, and non-government agencies who are concerned  with understanding and addressing poverty-related issues in  the developing countries.},
