| description | This paper studies the evolution of the poverty rate in relation to two macroeconomic performance indexes. A first simple index of four variables, called EPI, and another more complex called MRE, composed by the simple average of three sub-indexes, a monetary, a real-fiscal and one that measures the evolution of the external sector. It works under the assumption that the public social expenditure consolidated as a percentage from the GDP has a positive effect on reducing poverty, while macroeconomic instability, measured as a deterioration of the indexes has a negative effect, and the aim is to determine which one of the two dominates. It concludes that the negative effect of macroeconomic instability dominates over the positive effect of the public social expenditure consolidates in 76% of the cases when EPI is used, and a 65% when MRE is used. In turn the chances of success of the indexes, success being understood as the probability that the poverty rate moves in the opposite direction to the indexes, resulted in 74% for the EPI and 68% for the MRE. |

En este documento se estudia la evolución de la tasa de pobreza en relación a dos índices de desempeño macroeconómico. Un primer índice simple de 4 variables, llamado EPI y otro índice más robusto, llamado MRE, compuesto por el promedio simple de tres sub índices, uno monetario, otro real-fiscal y otro que mide la evolución del sector externo. Se trabaja bajo el supuesto de que el gasto público social consolidado como porcentaje del PBI tiene un efecto positivo en reducir la pobreza, mientras que la inestabilidad macroeconómica, medida como un empeoramiento de los índices tiene un efecto negativo y se busca discernir cual de los efectos domina. Se llega a la conclusión de que el efecto negativo de la inestabilidad macroeconómica domina al efecto positivo del gasto público social consolidado en un 76% de los casos cuando se utiliza el EPI y un 65% cuando se utiliza el MRE. A su vez, las probabilidades de éxito de los índices, entendiendo el éxito como la probabilidad de que la tasa de pobreza se mueva en dirección opuesta a los índices, resultó de 74% para el EPI y de 68% para el MRE.
