Human Capital investments are essential for the economic development of a country. In Brazil, several sources point to the lack of qualified workforce as a cause of slower economic growth. This dissertation explores the theoretical linkages made from income inequality to economic performance. The empirical section focuses on one of the theories presented, the one on creditmarket imperfections. According to this theory, imperfect credit markets are poor resource allocators and do not allow for low income individuals to invest in their own human capital. In Brazil, there is a lack of empirical studies aimed at testing the channels through which inequality affects growth, therefore this research gains significance. The results presented here were drawn from family household survey – POF – undertaken by the IBGE. Data has evidenced that education investments grow as a percentage of the total budget with raises of income. Raises in income for very high income classes do not increase education spending. The data suggests the existence of a budget constraint for low and middle class Brazilians from all regions. It has been found strong evidence that low and middle income classes in Brazil have limited access to credit-markets. Therefore, there is evidence that redistribution would increase aggregate spending on education.
Investimentos em capital humano são essenciais para o desenvolvimento econômico de um pais. No Brasil, diversas fontes apontam para a falta de mão de obra qualificada como sendo uma das causas de um fraco crescimento econômico. Esta dissertação explora as teorias que ligam desigualdade de renda com performance econômica. A parte empírica se foca em uma das teorias apresentadas, a de imperfeições no mercado de credito. De acordo com esta teoria, mercados de credito imperfeitos são fracos alocadores de recursos e não possibilitam que indivíduos de baixa renda invistam no próprio capital humano. No Brasil, há uma escassez de estudos empíricos focados em testar os canais através dos quais a desigualdade de renda afeta o crescimento, trazendo significância para esta dissertação. Os resultados apresentados aqui foram obtidos através da pesquisa familiar – POF – realizada pelo IBGE. Os dados mostram que investimentos em educação crescem como percentual do orçamento com o aumento da renda familiar. Aumentos de renda para classes de renda já elevadas não provocam igual aumento nas despesas educacionais. Os dados sugerem a existência de uma restrição orçamentária para Brasileiros de baixa e média renda independente da região. Foram encontradas fortes evidencias de que classes de baixa e média renda no Brasil tem acesso limitado ao mercado de credito. Portanto, existe evidencia de que redistribuição aumentaria o gasto agregado em educação.

Testo completoThe objective of this thesis is to analyze the dynamics of income distribution in contemporary Ecuador. We defend the thesis that income inequality has declined both at functional and personal level over the last years. However, based on the recent top incomes and wealth accumulation literature and methods we show that the level of income inequality in this country is still very high. The first chapter of this thesis reviews the literature on income and wealth distribution and offers new estimates of wealth-to-income ratios and capital share of income for the 2007-2013 period thanks to national balance sheets. In the second chapter, we construct top income shares series for the period 2004-2011 thanks to micro-level tax return data. We analyze the recent trends of top incomes, their composition, the evolution of average real incomes, and we discuss the methodological challenge of working with tax data and survey data when the main objective is to capture top incomes. In the third chapter, we examine intragenerational income mobility both at the top and middle of the distribution and we analyze the main determinants of income mobility. In the last chapter of this thesis, we study whether tax policy, through progressive income taxation, is helping to reduce inequality in this country

This thesis contains four independent essays in heterogeneous agent macroeconomics. They explore the sources of income inequality and income risk and study the optimal design of public redistribution and insurance. The first chapter, joint with Filip Rozsypal, studies the origins of idiosyncratic earnings risk in frictional labor markets, with a particular focus on the role of firms for worker earnings risk. First, using administrative matched employer-employee data from Denmark, we document key properties of the worker earnings growth distribution, the firm revenue growth distribution, and their joint distribution. The worker earnings and firm revenue growth distributions exhibit strong deviations from normality, in particular excess kurtosis, with many workers and firms experiencing very small changes to their earnings/revenues, but a significant minority experiencing very large changes. Large earnings losses are more likely for workers in firms with negative revenue growth, driven both by separations to unemployment and earnings losses on the job. Second, we develop a model framework consistent with the data, with four key features: i) frictional labor markets and on the job search to capture unemployment risk and wage growth through a job ladder, ii) multi-worker firms to capture gross and net worker flows, iii) risk averse workers such that earnings risk matters, and iv) contracting with two-sided limited commitment because earnings of job stayers are changing infrequently in the data. Third, we use the model to explore policies designed to mitigate earnings fluctuations. The second chapter, joint with Annika Bacher and Lukas Nord, studies one particular private insurance margin against individual income risk only available to couples, which is the so called added worker effect. Specifically, we study how this intra-household insurance against individual job loss through increased spousal labor market participation varies over the life cycle. We show in U.S. data that the added worker effect is much stronger for young than for old households. A stochastic life cycle model of two-member households with job search in a frictional labor market is capable of replicating this finding. The model suggests that a lower added worker effect for the old is driven primarily by better insurance through asset holdings. Human capital differences between employed young and old contribute to the difference but are quantitatively less important, while differences in job arrival rates play a limited role. In the third chapter, joint with Axelle Ferriere, Gaston Navarro, and Oliko Vardishvili, we study optimal redistribution, taking into account not just the large income and wealth inequality in the data, but also the distribution of income risk that is key in the first two chapters. The U.S. fiscal system redistributes through a rich set of taxes and transfers, the latter accounting for a large part of the income of the poor. Motivated by this, we study the optimal joint design of transfers and income taxes. Within a simple heterogeneous-household framework, we derive analytical results on the optimal relationship between transfers and tax progressivity. Higher transfers are associated with lower optimal income tax progressivity. Redistribution is achieved with generous transfers while efficiency is preserved via a lower progressivity of income taxes. As such, the optimal tax-and-transfer system features larger progressivity of average than of marginal tax rates. We then quantify the optimal tax-and-transfer system in a rich incomplete-market model with realistic distributions of income, wealth, and income risk. The model features a novel flexible functional form for progressive income taxes and means-tested transfers. Relative to the current U.S. fiscal system, the optimal policy consists of more generous means-tested transfers, which phase-out at a slower rate. These larger transfers are financed with higher tax rates, but the taxes are not more progressive than the current system. The fourth chapter, joint with Axelle Ferriere and Dominik Sachs, also studies optimal redistribution, but instead of considering a stationary environment it analyzes the dynamics of the equity-efficiency trade-off along the growth path. To do so, we incorporate the optimal income taxation problem into a state-of-the-art multi-sector structural change general equilibrium model with non-homothetic preferences. We identify two key opposing forces. First, long-run productivity growth allows households to shift their consumption expenditures away from necessities. This implies a reduction in the dispersion of marginal utilities, and therefore calls for a welfare state that declines along the growth path. Yet, economic growth is also systematically associated with an increase in the skill premium, which raises inequality and the desire to redistribute. We quantitatively analyze these opposing forces for two countries: the U.S. from 1950 to 2010, and China from 1989 to 2009. Optimal redistribution decreases at early stages of development, as the role of non-homotheticities prevails. At later stages of development the rising income inequality dominates and the welfare state should become more generous.

Testo completoEl objetivo de esta tesis es ofrecer nueva evidencia cuantitativa sobre la evolución de las desigualdades regionales en México en el largo plazo (1895-2010). Con esta investigación se espera contribuir al debate de la literatura internacional sobre las principales fuerzas que explican la evolución histórica de las desigualdades regionales. El estudio de las desigualdades regionales en México es representativo de las economías de niveles medios de ingreso, en las cuales el crecimiento económico en el largo plazo ha tenido una ruta distinta a las economías industrializadas. En el caso mexicano, distintos determinantes han afectado la evolución de las desigualdades regionales, como la dotación de recursos naturales, la movilidad de factores de producción, el cambio estructural, el potencial de mercado, entre otros. En este sentido, los principales resultados de esta tesis son los siguientes. La evolución de las desigualdades regionales en México ha seguido una forma de ‘N’ en el largo plazo, la cual está estrechamente vinculada a las distintas estrategias de crecimiento económico adoptadas en México desde finales del siglo XIX. Así, durante el periodo del modelo agro-exportador (1895-1930), y el periodo reciente de apertura económica (1980-2010), las desigualdades regionales han incrementado, mientras que, durante el periodo de la IDE (1940-1980), las desigualdades regionales experimentaron una fase de convergencia. La primera fase de divergencia (1895-1930) estuvo liderada por los estados ricos volviéndose más ricos, mientras que los estados pobres se volvieron aún más pobres respecto a la media nacional de ingresos. El periodo de convergencia subsecuente estuvo caracterizado por la caída relativa de los estados ricos hacia la media nacional. Por último, durante el último periodo apertura económica de 1980 a 2010, la divergencia regional ha estado guiada por el mayor dinamismo económico de algunas regiones en particular del centro y norte del país, y en particular, de la Ciudad de México. El análisis de clúster espacial muestra que el único clúster que aparece constante durante todo el periodo de estudio es el de los países con bajos niveles de ingreso del sur del país. Los principales determinantes detrás de los cambios de las tendencias de las desigualdades regionales en el largo plazo han cambiado en cada periodo histórico. Durante la primera globalización, un desigual proceso de cambio estructural a nivel espacial explica el incremento de las desigualdades regionales. Aquellas regiones que pudieron beneficiarse de la integración de los mercados internacional lograron una tasa mayor de cambio estructural, mayor ratios de capital-trabajo y, por consiguiente, mayores tasas de crecimiento de la productividad laboral. Por otra parte, la convergencia experimentada de 1940 a 1980 se explica por un fuerte proceso de movilidad de factores (mano de obra) entre las regiones de México. Por último, el periodo de divergencia experimentado a partir de 1980, ha estado determinado por una distribución espacial desigual de la IED (concentrada en la Ciudad de México y los estados del norte del país), y la concentración espacial de los servicios de alto valor agregado (en la Ciudad de México).

Um dos principais problemas do crescimento econômico nas economias em desenvolvimento é a desigualdade de renda. Assim, muitos estudos sobre a teoria macroeconômica tentaram deter- minar quais são os principais modos pelos quais a desigualdade pode ser reduzida. A política fiscal redistributiva tem sido considerada uma maneira importante de reduzir a desigualdade e aumentar o crescimento econômico ao mesmo tempo. Tendo em vista a relação entre essas variáveis, este estudo procura esclarecer como a política fiscal afeta a desigualdade de renda e o crescimento econômico. Para realizar tal análise, nós utilizamos três diferentes abordagens. Na primeira estimamos os impactos da política fiscal sobre a desigualdade de renda e o cres- cimento econômico entre os estados brasileiros utilizando um conjunto de modelos de dados em painel. A análise abrange os anos de 1996 a 2011, último ano disponível, compreendendo 16 anos para 26 dos 27 estados brasileiros. Estimamos uma equação individual para explicar o crescimento econômico e duas equações individuais para a desigualdade de renda, cada uma com um conj unto diferente de variáveis explicativas. Com base em modelos de dados em painel, apresentamos evidências de que a relação entre carga tributária, crescimento econômico e desi- gualdade de renda não é linear. Mostramos que quando a carga tributária corresponde a 23% do PIB, o crescimento econômico é máximo e quando a carga tributária corresponde a 19% do PIB, a desigualdade e mínima. Na segunda, construímos um modelo e analisamos os efeitos de uma política fiscal de redistribuição de renda para a economia brasileira. Especificamente, tentamos mostrar os efeitos de uma transferência de renda para a parte mais pobre da população. Criamos um modelo estocástico dinâmico com parâmetros calibrados para o Brasil. Os resultados mostram que os impostos ótimos sobre a renda do capital e a renda do trabalho se comporta- ram de maneiras opostas em ambos os choques (gastos governamentais e produtividade). A composição do orçamento do governo muda de acordo com seu favoritismo para os pobres. As simulações mostram que a existência de desigualdade de renda altera o nível ótimo de impostos e as reações aos choques de oferta e demanda, embora a política fiscal tenha limites. Os resul- tados também mostram evidências de que reduzir a pobreza pode aumentar o produto, eliminar a necessidade de transferências e reduzir, consideravelmente, as flutuações nos impostos. Na terceira abordagem, propomos um modelo que seja uma versão de um equilíbrio competitivo do modelo de crescimento neoclássico básico, que incorpora desigualdade de renda endogena- mente e agentes heterogêneos: pobres e ricos, nos permitindo compreender esse problema de forma dinâmica. Utilizamos o problema de Ramsey para determinar as sequências ótimas para os três tipos de impostos distorcivos, sobre a renda do capital, sobre a renda do trabalho e sobre o consumo em uma economia não estocástica. A solução analítica encontrada sugere que, no estado estacionário, o imposto ideal sobre o capital deve sempre ser zero, independentemente do favoritismo do governo em relação a um agente em particular. Além disso, o governo deveria financiar as transferências para o agente pobre usando diferentes combinações de impostos sobre consumo e renda do trabalho.
One of the main problems of economic growth in developing economies is income inequality. Thus many studies in macroeconomic theory have attempted to determine what are the main ways in which inequality can be reduced. Redistributive fiscal policy has been considered an important way to reduce inequality and increase economic growth at same time. Considering the relationship between these variables, this study seeks to clarify how fiscal policy affects income inequality and economic growth. To perform such analysis, we used three different approaches. First we estimate the impacts of fiscal policy on income inequality and economic growth among Brazilian states using a set of panel data models. The analysis covers the ye- ars from 1996 to 2011, comprising 16 years for 26 of the 27 Brazilian states. We estimated an individual equation to explain economic growth and two individual equations for income inequality, each with a different set of explanatory variables. Based on panel data models, we present evidence that the relationship between Tax Burden and economic growth and income inequality is not linear. We show that when the Tax Burden corresponds to 23% of GDP the economic growth is maximum and when the Tax Burden corresponds to 19% of GDP the ine- quality is minimal. Second, we construct a model and analyze the effects of a fiscal policy of income redistribution for Brazilian economy. Specifically, we try to show the effects of an income transfer for the poorest part of the population. We build a dynamic stochastic model calibrated for Brazil. The results show the optimal taxes on capital income and labor income in opposite way in both shocks (government spending and productivity). The composition of the government budget changes according to the favoritism towards the poor. The simulations show that the existence of income inequality changes the optimal level of taxes and the reactions to supply and demand shocks, although the fiscal policy has limits. Also, we present evidence that reducing poverty can increase output, eliminating the necessity of transfers and reducing considerably the fluctuations of taxes. Third, we propose a model that is a version of a compe- titive equilibrium of the basic neoclassical growth model, which incorporate income inequality endogenously and heterogeneous agents: poor and rich, allowing us to understand this problem in a dynamic way. We use the Ramsey problem to determine the optimal sequences for the three types of flat-rate tax: capital income, labor income and consumption, in a non-stochastic economy. The analytical solution suggests that in the steady state, optimal tax on capital should always be zero, regardless of the government’s favoritism towards particular agents. Also, the government should finance the transfers to the poor agent using different combinations of taxes on consumption and labor income.

Testo completoThe research aims to empirically investigate the relationship between income distribution and some aggregate variables, by developing a detailed study of inequality through the assessment of alternative measures and the computation of some decompositions. In the first Chapter, the most influential contributions of the literature, both theoretical and empirical, have been reviewed, and the mechanisms through which inequality may affect growth have been highlighted and discussed. The second Chapter deals with the estimation of the relationship of interest in a panel of high-income, OECD countries, for which a rich set of inequality measures has been built using internationally harmonized microdata on income. In addition, some decompositions of the most commonly used inequality indexes have been computed, allowing a punctual study of the within- and the between-group inequality, thus adding to the reference empirical literature relying mostly on the Gini index. However, the limited number of available observations and the restricted dimension of the panel do not allow for a proper application to the reference growth model of those estimators controlling for both the heterogeneity and the endogeneity bias. As a consequence, in the third Chapter an extended dataset has been assembled, including high, middle and low-income countries, in order to check whether more robust results can be obtained. By estimating the reference model, evidence of non-linearities in the relationship between inequality and growth in fact emerges. Finally, the fourth Chapter reverses somehow the perspective and aims to focus on the distributional impact of financial development, by assessing the association between the credit to the private sector and inequality. The analysis points to understand, in particular, whether the effects of credit are homogeneous or rather differentiated along the income distribution.

Testo completoEl principal objectiu d’aquesta tesi és oferir una panoràmica completa sobre l’evolució de la distribució de la renda a llarg termini a Portugal. Portugal és actualment un dels països més desiguals d’Europa i aquí volem determinar quins són els orígens d’aquest fenomen. Per tal d’assolir aquest objectiu s’han estimat una àmplia varietat d’indicadors proposats per la literatura sobre les desigualtats. Els principals resultats d’aquest treball són els següents. En primer lloc, les desigualtats salarials segueixen una corba en forma de N ajustant-se a la pauta internacional a partir de la segona meitat del segle XX i a les prediccions de la Corba estesa de Kuznets. Per altra banda, els top income shares han caigut fins als anys 1980, però d’aquí en endavant han crescut amb molta intensitat ajustant-se a la pauta distributiva dels països anglosaxons. La desigualtat personal de la renda va augmentar amb molta intensitat durant la primera meitat del règim Salazarista i es va mantenir en uns nivells molt elevats fins al final de la Dictadura. Va caure amb intensitat durant la Revolució del 1974 i va tornar a créixer durant el període democràtic. La ràtio d’extracció també va créixer amb molta intensitat durant els primers anys de la dictadura definint clarament aquest règim com a molt regressiu en l’esfera distributiva. És important destacar que la ràtio d’extracció era més elevada al 2006 que als anys 1920, un fet absolutament extraordinari. Finalment, aquesta tesi també aporta noves estimacions sobre els PIBs regionals de Portugal des de 1890 fins al 1980. Aquestes noves dades mostren com les desigualtats regionals van créixer fins al 1970 per caure durant la següent dècada. També es pot observar una concentració molt intensa de l’activitat econòmica a les regions costeres. Per acabar, el ràpid creixement econòmic de Portugal al llarg del segle XX hauria de ser re-avaluat des del punt de vista social si es mira a l’interior de la caixa negra de la renda per càpita. Aquesta tesi ha il•luminat aquesta caixa negra i ha mostrat com els fruits del creixement econòmic han estat distribuïts persistentment de forma molt desigual.
