Shifts in Brazilian Income Distribution and Well-Being in the XXI Century

Marcelo Cortes Neri
August, 2024

Abstract: 

This book develops a unified approach on measurement, causes and consequences of income distribution changes in Brazil during the last 30 years. The main objective is to test the limits of this research agenda based on the processing of various microdata sources, followed by a quite lively public debate. We look at both the mean and the inequality of income in periods of improvement and of deterioration. Each chapter gauges a different dataset or dimension of wellbeing evolution.

Fiscal redistribution in Brazil

Abstract: This paper assesses causes and consequences of fiscal redistribution in Brazil. The framework proposed allows evaluating in an integrated manner the impacts of government-sponsored actions in inequality and mean income changes on social welfare, addressing both static and dynamic implications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first microsimulation attempt to gauge actual fiscal policy redistribution changes over time in Brazil. The study develops an empirical methodology that allows consistent comparisons among the years 1995, 2003, 2009, and 2015.
