Abstract

Este artículo hace una reflexión crítica sobre la pertinencia de emplear indicadores económicos, como el pib por habitante y el índice de desarrollo humano, para realizar mediciones comparativas de desarrollo entre países. Los autores proponen un nuevo indicador: el ingreso de la gran mayoría (igm), que combina ingreso con desigualdad a partir de un ejercicio empírico de análisis de desarrollo comparativo entre países. Los resultados obtenidos a partir de este indicador contrastan con aquellos obtenidos con el ingreso nacional neto por habitante (innph). Se comprueba que las medidas de ingreso promedio no constituyen buenas aproximaciones de los ingresos de las grandes mayorías. Se formulan asimismo propuestas de política y señalan algunos de los aspectos de este tema que forman parte de la agenda de investigaciones futuras.
