Abstract
Resumen: Este articulo investiga la relacion entre globalizacion y desigualdad en doce economias latinoamericanas durante el periodo 2000-2013 mediante analisis de datos de panel. Con base en la importancia que da la literatura a la estructura de una economia, se dividieron los paises segun niveles de corrupcion, educacion, tamano del pais y apertura comercial. Los resultados sugieren que la apertura de mercado genera una disminucion de la desigualdad, mientras que la inversion extranjera la aumenta. Estructuralmente, los paises con mayor corrupcion, mayor apertura de mercado y mayor tamano aprovechan mejor las ventajas de la globalizacion con el fin de disminuir la desigualdad. Abstract: This study explores the relationship between globalization and income inequality in twelve Latin American economies during the period 2000-2013 using panel data analyses. Based on the importance that the literature gives to a country’s structure, the sample is grouped according to corruption levels, educational attainment levels, gross domestic product (GDP) and trade openness. The results show that higher trade openness generates a decrease in income inequality, while higher foreign direct investment increases it. Countries characterized by higher levels of corruption, trade openness and GDP take better advantage from globalization to decrease income inequality.
