VALENTIN-MBALLA, Louis  and  SAUCEDA-QUINTERO, Arely Yesenia. Analysis of hunger in the state of Zacatecas under the model of ordinary least squares. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.57, pp.487-523. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est01164.

The purpose of this article is to make a quantitative analysis of the problem of hunger in the state of Zacatecas in Mexico. The variables considered for the realization of the model are: years of schooling, inhabitants per dwelling, gross aggregate value, economically active population, gross domestic product, and number of hectares harvested, in each of the 58 municipalities of Zacatecas. Through a re-categorization of the ordinary least squares (OLS) method, we conclude that the number of inhabitants per household is the most important factor when determining the probability of suffering from hunger in that state.

Keywords : financial deregulation; food shortage; poverty; hunger; ordinary least squares.
