Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to perform a geographical decomposition of poverty indicators in Colombia by geographical areas. The first component is the size of the poverty that is explained by the lack of incomes that are related to a specific threshold of a geographical area (within); the second component is the result of an absolute homogeneous poverty line (between). It is found that the differences in poverty indicators among geographical areas depend on homogeneous normative threshold that is taken as reference: a low threshold entails poverty indicators that are explained by the lack of incomes within each geographical area, while a high threshold entails poverty indicators that are explained by the differences in lack of incomes between geographical areas.
