本文使用面板数据，以墨西哥的情况下，总的贫困分解为长期和短暂的组成部分，并估计每种类型的贫困的决定因素。结果发现，69%的贫困是长期的，31%是暂时的。使用审查分位数回归技术，可以看出，解释长期贫困的变量不同于解释暂时贫困的变量。这些结果表明，长期贫穷是一个应在公共政策议程上得到高度优先重视的问题，需要针对长期和短暂贫穷制定不同的公共政策。
This paper uses panel data to decompose total poverty into its chronic and transient components and to estimate the determinants of each type of poverty for the case of Mexico. It was found that 69 percent of total poverty is chronic and 31 percent is transient. Using censored quantile regressions techniques, it was observed that the variables explaining chronic poverty are different from those explaining transient poverty. These results indicate that chronic poverty is an issue which should have a high priority on the public policy agenda and that different public policies are needed to target chronic and transient poverty.
