Thanks Mark.
Can you (or others) share any recent examples of organizations that are using one or both of these tools?
And for anyone out there using a poverty scorecard, have you used it beyond determining the likely poverty status of people you serve to measure changes in poverty status over time?
Cheers,
Sean

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."Mark Schreiner
