- Title
EL ÍNDICE MULTIDIMENSIONAL Y TRAMPAS DE POBREZA EN EL CONO SUR.

- Abstract
This work proposes using the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) as an indicator to quantify poverty traps in countries, as it allows us to measure the impact and intensity of poverty for those lacking in various basic areas simultaneously. The MPI is interesting for this purpose, both because it serves to complement measures of poverty by income over time, and because it may be a more viable tool for periodic use in the absence of panel data. This work examines the MPI for five Southern Cone countries.
