Pobreza multidimensional: variaciones al espacio de bienestar económico sobre la base de índices de precios democráticos, México 2008

Abstract

By replacing the national consumer price index with its democratic version and local prices, we updated, at the state level, the current monetary and non-monetary income and the values for the food and basic non-food baskets. Next we obtained some variations of the offi cial estimations for extreme multidimensional poverty, moderate poverty, and vulnerable income. In comparison to the Coneval measurements from 2008, the variations are higher in some instances, and lower in others. With the intention of getting into perspective the exercise carried out, and briefl y approaching the political economy of economic measurement, we close with some fi nal remarks.
