This paper studies the process of growth, poverty and poverty persistence in a panel data set covering 15 communities across rural Ethiopia 1994-2004. It describes growth and the evolution of poverty, illustrating both considerable growth and poverty reduction. It highlights the presence of ‘chronic’ poverty, people that appear poor relatively persistently in the data.
