Abstract

Abstract With the growing concern for the national and regional growth and development, the investigations related with poverty have gained a higher importance day by day. In this paper a regional poverty measurement in Colombia is done through a new method: the T IP curves. This allow s to include in a sole graphic method the three dimensions of poverty: incidence, intensity and inequality. Ordinal and cardinal comparisons about the interregional poverty conditions are done throughout the document, besides an analys is with other poverty measures, such as the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). An alternative method is used to establish the dominance between the TIP curves, finding their area under the curve, and it is found that there are not significant differences in the inequality of the poverty gaps among regions
