Abstract

Uno de los temas que mayor controversia ha generado en los últimos años, es en qué medida una economía de mercado es más eficiente para impulsar el crecimiento y el bienestar de la población, frente a economías con menor libertad económica. Este tema ha sido estudiado en varios trabajos, los que concluyeron que, efectivamente, mayores grados de libertad económica se traducen en tasas de crecimiento más altas y mejores niveles de vida. Esta constatación nos estimuló a indagar si al interior de la base donde se desarrollan las actividades laborales en Bolivia, también se reflejaba que el mercado promueve una menor desigualdad en la distribución del ingreso. Los resultados alcanzados nos conducen a probar el temple de esta hipótesis, es decir, que cuando más cercanas están las actividades laborales de la lógica del mercado, menor es la desigualdad en la distribución de los ingresos.
