Abstract

This paper examines the usefulness of the Spanish Household Budget Continuous Survey (base 1997), ECPF1997, on order to study the distribution of income. In particular compares the original quarterly files with a longitudinal file constructed by the Spanish Statistical Institute (INE). Given that the original files have a coyuntural goal, a high frequency to study the income distribution and the sample is a rotating panel the INE has constructed an annual file from the original quarterly files with the aim of providing a standard file of household¿s characteristics in which each record belongs to a different household and the reference period is the year. We examine how the construction of this file can affect the view we have about the income distribution. Este trabajo examina la idoneidad de utilizar la Encuesta Continua de Presupuestos Famililares (base 1997), ECPF1997, para el análisis de la distribución de la renta. La cuestión concreta objeto de análisis radica en el hecho de que dicha encuesta es fundamentalmente de tipo coyuntural, es decir posee una periodicidad trimestral y una muestra de panel rotante que se renueva totalmente cada 8 trimestres, mientras que los análisis distributivos adoptan una periodicidad, usualmente, anual, ya que es conocido que una mayor frecuencia en los datos tiende a aumentar la dispersión observada. Consciente de este problema el propio Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) efectúa una anualización de la ECPF1997 (los denominados ficheros longitudinales), al objeto de obtener indicadores de desigualdad y efectuar análisis distributivos. Lo que este trabajo examina es, precisamente, como el proceso de construcción de estos ficheros puede afectar a los resultados obtenidos sobre la distribución de la renta.
