Klugman, Rodriguez and Choi (KRC) were members of the team that produced the 20th anniversary edition of the HDR (United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), 2010) which introduced a new version of this popular index. However, Ravallion (2010) argued that the new HDI has a number of undesirable features, some shared with the old index and some new. This note responds to the points made by KRC (J Econ Inequality 9(2):249-288, 2011) in their defense of the new HDI.1 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC., 2011 Human development nationallicence Tradeoffs nationallicence Weights nationallicence Longevity nationallicence Schooling nationallicence The Journal of Economic Inequality Springer US; http://www.springer-ny.com 9/3(2011-09-01), 475-478 1569-1721 9:3<475 2011 9 10888 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10888-011-9193-0 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10888-011-9193-0 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Ravallion Martin Development Research Group, World Bank, 1818 H Street NW, Washington, DC, USA aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- The Journal of Economic Inequality Springer US; http://www.springer-ny.com 9/3(2011-09-01), 475-478 1569-1721 9:3<475 2011 9 10888 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
