However, it misses the possible relationship between its components. To overcome this drawback, some authors proposed to complement the AROPE rate with measures of the dependence between its dimensions, since higher dependence can exacerbate poverty. In this paper, we follow this approach and measure such dependence in the Spanish regions over the period 2008-2018 using three multivariate versions of Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Our results reveal an asymmetric effect of the economic cycle on the dependence between poverty dimensions, as this dependence, in many Spanish regions, substantially increased during the Great Recession but dropped little during the economic recovery. Moreover, regions with higher AROPE rates also tend to experience more dependence between its dimensions. application/pdf eng Ministerio de Hacienda info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ © Instituto de Estudios Fiscales Atribución-NoComercial 4.0 Internacional Pobreza Indicadores económicos - España Multivariate dependence Spearman’s rho Multidimensional poverty AROPE 5302 Econometría Changes in the dependence structure of AROPE components: evidence from the Spanish Regions info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://hpe-rpe.org/ SI
