Portuguese Economic Journal, 17(2):117-1391617-982X (print)1617-9838 (online)http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/15788Using the normative approach, we develop a class of poverty measures that is function of a weighting system. Each particular weighting function corresponds to a particular social judgment. This offers the decision-maker a large selection of social preferences functions, and he can choose the one that best represents his social judgment. We also develop new concepts of a-extended TIP curves. They are used to establish the conditions of the robust and unanimous poverty ranking of our measures. These conditions are in terms of second-and higher-degree TIP dominance. Finally, we provide an empirical illustration using Tunisian data on the 2005–2010 period.engSSTPoverty orderingYaari dual social welfare functionTIP dominancejournal article10.1007/s10258-017-0140-2
