BAHAMON, María Margarita; DOMINGUEZ, Juana  and  NUNEZ, José Javier. INFERENTIALS ASPECTS OF THE DOMINANCE IN POVERTY THROUGH GLOBAL CURVES AND THEIR EVOLUTION IN COLOMBIA (2001-2005). Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.29, pp.149-167. ISSN 0124-5996.

ABSTRACT In this article, the methodology to analyze the poverty in Colombia using the TIPs/IID curves is explored. In addition, the stochastic dominance of first and second order in curve studies is analyzed, including its inferencial aspects, and a suitable contrast of hypothesis is proposed. For this we used the data of the Colombian survey Encuesta Continua de Hogares for the period 2001-2005. The results show that poverty in Colombia does not depend on the errors in the samples; it corresponds to variations in poverty experienced in those years.

Keywords : poverty; TIPs/IID curves; dominance; stochastic inference.
