Injusticia de la desigualdad: factores determinantes en el Brasil, 1995 y 2009

Se analiza la evolución de la desigualdad injusta en el Brasil (1995-2009) mediante un enfoque no paramétrico de la estimación de la función de ingresos. Se utilizaron las medidas de entropía de Li, Maasoumi y Racine (2009) a fin de cuantificar separadamente las diferencias de ingresos para cada variable de esfuerzo. Se calculó un coeficiente de Gini de desigualdad injusta basado en los valores ajustados de la estimación no paramétrica, analizándose la robustez para las estimaciones, incluyendo variables de circunstancias. La evolución de las entropías mostró reducción de la diferencia de ingresos atribuida a la educación como factor determinante. Las variables de horas trabajadas y situación en el mercado laboral explican significativamente las diferencias de salarios imputadas al esfuerzo individual, pero la variable migratoria reveló escaso poder explicativo. Finalmente, el análisis de robustez demostró la plausibilidad de los resultados de cada etapa de la ejecución empírica.

Determinants of unfair inequality in Brazil, 1995 and 2009

This article analyses the trend of unfair inequality in Brazil (1995-2009) using a nonparametric approach to estimate the income function. The entropy metrics introduced by Li, Maasoumi and Racine (2009) are used to quantify income differences separately for each effort variable. A Gini coefficient of unfair inequality is calculated, based on the fitted values of the non-parametric estimation; and the robustness of the estimations, including circumstantial variables, is analysed. The trend of the entropies demonstrated a reduction in the income differential caused by education. The variables “hours worked” and “labour-market status” contribute significantly to explaining wage differences imputed to individual effort; but the migratory variable had little explanatory power. Lastly, the robustness analysis demonstrated the plausibility of the results obtained at each stage of the empirical work.
