Abstract

En este documento se plantea un modelo teórico de generaciones traslapadas en el que se muestra la importancia de la política fiscal para reducir las brechas salariales e incrementar la producción de largo plazo. Los resultados del modelo evidencian que la relación entre maximizar la producción de largo plazo y reducir la desigualdad no es monótona, por lo que en algunos casos es posible cumplir estos dos objetivos. Pese a ello, el máximo nivel de producción nunca se alcanza para un nivel de desigualdad de cero. Finalmente, los efectos de la política fiscal sobre la desigualdad y la producción dependen altamente de las fuentes de heterogeneidad de los individuos, por lo que al momento de disenar las estructuras impositivas y distributivas éstas deberían tenerse en cuenta. Abstract. This paper builds an overlapping generations model to study the importance of fiscal policy as an instrument to reduce wage inequality and increase long-term output. Model simulations show that the relationship between reducing wage inequality is not monotone. Maximizing output cannot be achieved with zero inequality. Finally, the effect of fiscal policy on wage inequality and output depends on the source of individual heterogeneity. So these must be taken into account when designing policy.
