摘要：

This study aims to analyze the effect of investments in infrastructure, particularly economic and social, on poverty in Latin America. For this purpose, dynamic panel data is used for 15 countries corresponding to the period 1996-2016. Two models were estimated, one for poverty and the other for extreme poverty, in order to compare the effects of infrastructure on different indicators. The results revealed that the infrastructure has a significant impact on the selected indicators, especially on extreme poverty. Thus, it is recommended that governments emphasize the implementation of infrastructure projects as a fundamental tool for poverty and indigence reduction.
