Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Poverty
  • Macroeconomics
  • Globalization

His scientific interests lie mostly in Poverty, Income distribution, Econometrics, Economic growth and Public economics. His study in Poverty is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Computable general equilibrium, Human capital, Consolidation, Distribution and Spite. His research integrates issues of International economics, Development economics, Revenue, Earnings and Socioeconomic status in his study of Income distribution.

His Econometrics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both General equilibrium theory, Multiplier, Head count ratio, Poverty in China and Social accounting matrix. When carried out as part of a general Economic growth research project, his work on Basic needs is frequently linked to work in Estimation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Public economics research incorporates elements of Regional science, Chronic poverty and Thriving.

His most cited work include:

  • A Class of Decomposable Poverty Measures (3891 citations)
  • STRUCTURAL PATH ANALYSIS AND MULTIPLIER DECOMPOSITION WITHIN A SOCIAL ACCOUNTING MATRIX FRAMEWORK (395 citations)
  • Economic Inequality and Its Socioeconomic Impact (205 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The concepts of his Poverty study are interwoven with issues in Developing country, Economic inequality, Public economics and Distribution. The Public economics study combines topics in areas such as Poverty in Tanzania, Heavily indebted poor countries, Effective demand, Investment and Socioeconomic status.

His Development economics research incorporates themes from Poverty reduction and Agricultural development. Erik Thorbecke interconnects Social accounting matrix, Econometrics and State in the investigation of issues within Income distribution. His research investigates the connection between Basic needs and topics such as Food poverty that intersect with problems in Agricultural economics.
