| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | 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 exercise to evaluate
two types of policies used to alleviate poverty: one focused on increasing
coverage of education (wrongly assuming a single population), another in
reducing the quality gap (rightly assuming two populations). | en |
