Poverty, Public Investment, General Computable Equilibrium Model, Headcount Index, Breach, Severity, MECOVI.Abstract
Using a General Computable Equilibrium Model and applying a microsimulation on MECOVI Survey of 2007, the document shows that the public investment has a positive effect on the poverty reduction in a moderate, present and high investment scene. However, the poverty reduction is not too significant. The most important results are demonstrated in the headcount index, it reduced around 3 points in a scene of high intervention and 2 points in a scene of investment like the present one. Nevertheless, the results obtained for the breach indicators and severity of poverty are more modest.
