A SPATIAL ECONOMETRICS APPLICATION FOR ANALYZING EXTREME POVERTY IN THE MUNICIPALITIES OF ANTIOQUIA DEPARTMENT
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article proves the existence of a spatial correlation when considering the perÂcentage 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..
