Abstract: "The poverty scorecard and the Poverty Assessment Tool (PAT) are simple, low-cost ways to measure households' poverty. How do the two differ? For estimating a group's poverty rate, both are unbiased, and the scorecard has smaller standard errors. For targeting individual households, the PAT correctly classifies about one more household per 100. The scorecard has an edge in availability, recentness, and transparency."
