Descripción
This paper measures the distributive impact of fiscal policy on personal and regional income distribution and provides a decomposition of the redistributive effect of fiscal policy for individual income units and when they belong to groups. This methodology is useful to identify how much of redistributive effect and also progressive/regressive effects apply within groups, between groups and among overlapping units, and whether there are tensions between different effects. The execution of fiscal policy in Argentina for year 2010 is the case of study. Fiscal policy reduces income inequality under both personal and regional definitions. The vertical effect is strong and weakly compensated by reranking. The vertical effect is a net result of progressive expenditures and regressive taxes. The selection of groups displays particular results. The findings are relevant for the design of fiscal policy in federal countries that pursue both efficiency and equity goals. In the case of Argentina (and this certainly can be extended to other federal countries), this may include rebalancing expenditures among different kinds or levels of governments, as well as the redesigning the tax system and eliminating tradeoffs observed from the current context.
En este trabajo se mide el impacto distributivo de la política fiscal sobre la distribución personal y regional del ingreso y se descompone el efecto redistributivo para unidades individuales de ingreso y cuando estas unidades pertenecen a grupos. La metodología es útil para desagregar cuanto del efecto redistributivo y de los efectos progresividad/regresividad se originan dentro de cada grupo, entre grupos, y por superposición de unidades, y si existen tensiones entre los efectos que resultan de esas desagregaciones. La ejecución de la política fiscal Argentina en 2010 es el caso de estudio. La política fiscal reduce la desigualdad regional y personal del ingreso. El efecto vertical es fuerte y es compensado parcialmente por reranking. La selección de grupos da lugar a resultados particulares. Los hallazgos del trabajo son relevantes para el diseño de la política fiscal en países federales cuyos objetivos son la eficiencia y la equidad. En el caso argentino (que puede ser extendido a otros países federales) puede incluir el rebalanceo de gastos entre los distintos niveles de gobierno, así como el rediseño del sistema impositivo y la eliminación de los "tradeoffs" observados en el trabajo.
