Abstract

This research paper analyzes the redistributive impact of some fiscal policies and social programmes (direct taxes and transfers) before and after the pandemic Crisis in Mexico and Colombia, following the CEQ methodology. It considers different concepts such as Market Income, Market Income plus Pensions and Disposable Income in order to analyze the impacts of fiscal policies and social programmes on inequality in these countries. Our findings show that Colombia's fiscal policy became slightly more progressive with the pandemic, while Mexico's became less so. Even with this change that took place in Colombian policies, Colombia's fiscal policy was less progressive than Mexico's overall in 2020.
