Resumen
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the incidence of the spatial dimension in the behavior of multidimensional poverty in the country, to determine if there is a mutual spatial dependence between the different geographical sectors of Ecuador. Spatial disaggregation was performed using the geographical criteria of cantonal headland and rest of the province for the continental territory, obtaining a total of 58 regions denominated as Spatial Analysis Units (SAUs) for each of which were calculated the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) using the results of the Survey of Living Conditions (ECV sixth round). The analysis of spatial autocorrelation was based on the Moran global I test, whose results allowed to conclude the existence of global spatial dependence between the regions. Finally, the analysis was concluded through tests of spatial dependence at the local level, where only 3 of the 58 SAUs showed the existence of possible conglomeration of poverty.
