Abstract
The Family Income and Expenditure Survey in 1994, 1997 and 2000 are linked at the provincial level. Various specifications of spatio-temporal models are fitted to search for evidence of spatial association among poverty indicators. There is indeed an evidence of geographic clustering of provinces according to various poverty indicators, especially for household income and expenditures.
