Shrnutí	The Datt-Ravallion decomposition, introduced by Gaurav Datt and Martin Ravallion in 1992, separates the observed change in a poverty measure between two dates into a growth component — the change attributable to a shift in mean income holding the relative distribution fixed — and a redistribution component — the change attributable to a shift in the Lorenz curve holding mean income fixed. A residual captures the interaction between the two. It became the standard way to ask whether falling poverty was driven by rising average incomes or by changes in inequality, and underlies the empirical literature on pro-poor growth.	The poverty gap index is the member of the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke family at alpha = 1 and the standard money-metric measure of the depth of poverty. Where the headcount ratio merely counts who is poor, the poverty gap averages how far the poor fall below the poverty line, expressed as a fraction of that line and spread over the whole population. It can be read as the per-capita resource shortfall — the share of the poverty line, per person, that perfect targeting would need to transfer to eliminate poverty — making it the natural complement to the headcount when judging the cost and intensity of poverty.
