Abstract

Este trabajo intenta responder a la pregunta de cuál ha sido el efecto de la liberalización comercial y financiera sobre la desigualdad y la pobreza en América Latina. Para esto, proponemos una metodología para estimar el efecto de la liberalización económica sobre la desigualdad y la pobreza, y la aplicamos a una base de datos desarrollada a partir de 93 encuestas de hogares para 17 países Latinoamericanos, con información entre 1977 y 2000. Los dos resultados más importantes son, primero, que la liberalización comercial parece no tener efectos distinguibles sobre los cambios en la desigualdad y la pobreza en la región durante los años ochenta y noventa. Si algún efecto tiene, éste es negativo (es decir progresivo), pero no es significativo desde el punto de vista estadístico. El segundo, es que la liberalización financiera ha tenido un efecto significativo de aumento de la desigualdad y la pobreza.
