Abstract

type="main" xml:lang="es"> Este estudio empírico examina los vínculos financieros entre los sistemas económicos indígenas y no indígenas en una cuenca fluvial remota en el norte de Australia (río Mitchell). Se han encontrado pruebas de una “desconexión” profunda y asimétrica entre ambas economías: un aumento exógeno de los ingresos indígenas eleva los ingresos de las personas no indígenas, pero no sucede lo contrario. Evidentemente, quienes buscan mejorar los ingresos de las personas indígenas en el norte de Australia no pueden simplemente proponer un (i) aumento de los pagos a la población indígena, o (ii) expandir el sector económico no indígena, con la esperanza de que sucedan “derrames” de los beneficios. En lugar de ello, se requiere un cambio estructural.
