Abstract
Construimos un indice de desigualdad considerando la distribucion de la riqueza, la distribucion factorial y la distribucion personal del ingreso. Con este indicador de dos o tres componentes estimamos y analizamos los resultados para las diferentes economias de America Latina y la region en su conjunto entre 1980 y 2016. Asimismo, determinamos la dispersion entre los diferentes componentes del indicador. Por ultimo, evaluamos la vinculacion entre el crecimiento economico y el indicador de desigualdad mediante un analisis econometrico por economia con base en minimos cuadrados ordinarios (MCO) y en un panel dinamico para toda la region utilizando el metodo de Arellano Bond. Los coeficientes para toda la region tienen signo negativo reflejando que a mayor desigualdad la variacion porcentual del producto interno bruto (PIB) es menor o a menor desigualdad el producto aumenta. INEQUALITY INDEX AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN LATIN AMERICA ABSTRACT The paper presents an inequality composite index of three components: wealth distribution, factorial income distribution and personal income distribution. This index allows us to analyze different results for the various Latin American economies and for the region as whole in the period 1980-2016. In addition, the paper assesses a dispersion analysis for each of the index components. Finally, we evaluate the effects of the inequality index on economic growth for each Latin American economy by using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and dynamic panel data models. The negative coefficient for the entire region shows that the greater (lower) social inequality, the lower (greater) the percentage variation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
期刊介绍:
It is a specialized journal, bilingual (Spanish and English), plural and critical, which accepts and publishes scientific research articles in national and international economy. It is considered a public good that belongs to the University and society. Its vocation is to analyze the evolution of the theoretical and practical economics. In its pages the paradigms of economics, history of economic thought, the theories and debates about economic policy and its consequences, the diagnosis of the Mexican economy, the economic development of Latin America and the problems spread the world economy in general. It is a journal that does not discriminate plural none paradigm; theoretical orientation is unorthodox for epistemological reasons, not ideological preferences.
