Determinantes de la pobreza en Sudamérica: Un estudio sobre la incidencia del VAB agrícola en el periodo 2000- 2023

Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzes the determinants of poverty in South America during the period 2000 2023, with a special emphasis on the incidence of agricultural Gross Value Added (GVA). Using a panel data model, the impact of variables such as the HDI, rural population, the Gini coefficient, and access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on the poverty rate was evaluated. The results showed that agricultural GVA, the HDI, and ICTs have a negative and significant relationship with poverty, while the rural population and the Gini coefficient have a positive effect. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening the agricultural sector, investing in human development, and technological inclusion, as well as the need to reduce inequality within developing countries. This research provides useful empirical evidence and policy recommendations aimed at combating poverty from multiple dimensions.
