| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | The adjustment of the information obtained from household surveys to make the
figures compatible with National Accounts is a non-standard and potentially
questionable practice given that it alters the structure of income distribution.
This paper analyzes the sensitivity of inequality and poverty indicators to the
adjustments made by ECLAC so as to enable a consistency between what is
reported by the CASEN survey and the National Accounts figures in Chile. The
results reveal that this leads to important changes in the top-end of the distribution
and to an overestimation in the main inequality indicators in Chile. Chile looks
more unequal in international relative terms due to this adjustment. | en_US |
