Abstract

The increasing attention gained by the intertemporal aspect of poverty has led to the flourishing of measurement tools that are informed by conflicting views on deprivation dynamics. We test individual preferences for alternative intertemporal poverty patterns using primary data from a sample of 1083 undergraduate students and a heterogeneous sample of 310 adults in the Dominican Republic. For both samples, the strongest concerns are chronic (rather than intermittent) and poverty in the second rather than in the first part of one's life. Preferences are significantly affected by a duration‐based between‐subject randomly assigned treatment. Individual characteristics such as age and standard of living are significant predictors of respondents' views. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
