Abstract

(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) En este trabajo se presentan la teoría y elementos de juicio sobre la relación que hay entre la desigualdad y la calidad de las instituciones. Proponemos un modelo en el que cada una de ellas refuerza dinámicamente a la otra y ponemos a prueba esta relación con un amplio conjunto de medidas institucionales. Comprobamos la doble causalidad entre una mejor calidad institucional y una distribución más equitativa del ingreso, pero también demostramos que el vínculo de ésta domina al de aquélla. Se muestra que estos resultados son valederos con diversas especificaciones y fuentes de datos que cubren varios períodos de tiempo.
