AGUDELO TORRES, Gabriel; FRANCO CEBALLOS, Luis E  y  FRANCO ARBELAEZ, Luis C. A SPATIAL ECONOMETRICS APPLICATION FOR ANALYZING EXTREME POVERTY IN THE MUNICIPALITIES OF ANTIOQUIA DEPARTMENT. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.37, pp.103-127. ISSN 0120-6346.

This article proves the existence of a spatial correlation when considering the percentage of people living in extreme poverty in the municipalities of the Antioquia department. For thisp urpose, a Moran I test is used and an algorithm is proposed in order to discard the possibility of a spurious spatial dependency. Results prove that spatial econometrics must be bared in mind for an optima allocation of social expenditure, destined to effectively intervene extreme poverty in the Antioquia department.

Palabras clave : Econometrics; inequality; poverty; spatial models.
