| dc.description | This paper presents a systematic empirical characterization of income distribution in Chile. Such characterization helps us to understand the apparent paradox regarding the coexistence of a successful economic performance and persistently high inequality in income distribution and to assess the impact of different social policies dealing with poverty. Segmented sectors seem to be a crucial feature that is generally overlooked in the traditional analysis of income distribution and poverty. As an example, we conduct an exercises to evaluate two types of policies used to alleviate poverty: one focused on increasing coverage of education (wrongly assuming two populations). | en-US |
| dc.description | Este trabajo es una caracterización empírica sistemática de la distribución de ingresos en Chile. Esta caracterización permite entender la aparente paradoja por la que coexisten resultados económicos exitosos y una desigual y persistente distribución. Una característica empírica de relevancia generalmente ignorada es la de segmentación. Como un ejemplo, el trabajo muestra los potenciales efectos de políticas que pretenden disminuir la desigualdad: una que pretende incrementar la cobertura educacional (asumiendo erróneamente una población homogénea) y otra que pretende reducir la brecha en calidad de la educación (asumiendo poblaciones heterogéneas). | es-ES |
