The approach draws on the standard economic concept of risk aversion, and it is based on the intuition that households will prefer a steady stream of income to a variable one with the same mean. Relying on a Constant Relative Risk Aversion utility function, we use panel data for Argentina to compute risk-adjusted income and poverty measures. At the aggregate level, we find that taking risk into account substantially increases the poverty headcount. Moreover, a regression analysis suggests that many household characteristics are correlated not only with the average income of the household over time, but also with its variability. 2014-01-02T15:43:42Z 2014-01-02T15:43:42Z 2006-11 Texto Documento Completo 9211216079 http://hdl.handle.net/11362/5158 LC/L.2589-P en Serie Financiamiento del Desarrollo 182 application/pdf ARGENTINA ARGENTINA ECLAC
