Este estudio estima las tendencias de la pobreza y la desigualdad utilizando el análisis envolvente de datos (DEA) y datos de panel en Colombia durante el periodo 1993-2007. En este trabajo se propone un modelo DEA para medir y clasificar las tendencias en pobreza, desigualdad y desarrollo. La clasificación obtenida a partir del DEA muestra variaciones en los puntajes de los departamentos colombianos en el periodo analizado. Con el fin de establecer las causas de estas variaciones, se aplica un análisis de regresión utilizando datos de un panel que demostró que los departamentos con mayor densidad poblacional, tasa de desempleo, tasa de homicidios y mayor concentración de la propiedad tienen un menor grado de eficiencia; mientras que los departamentos con mayor cobertura en salud, educación e inversión pública tienen mejores resultados en su eficiencia, según las estimaciones arrojadas por el modelo de regresión. Los hallazgos de este análisis sugieren que la disminución de la pobreza y la desigualdad podrían alcanzarse a través de estrategias adecuadas que garanticen el desarrollo y el crecimiento económico con políticas focalizadas en mejorar el bienestar de la sociedad.
