description There is not serious conflict, in principle, between economic growth and equality. The paper arrives to this conclusion after addressing topics like the effects of inflation on growth and economic efficiency, the key features of "good" economic policy, tax policy in developing countries, expenditure side policies designed to achieve greater equality, as well as other issues on poverty; and socio-economic mobility. On this vein, even though governments cannot significantly modify the income distribution of their societies, it is shown that the policies with a greater potential to shift society's Lorenz curve are those of the expenditure side rather than those of tire tax side.

There is not serious conflict, in principle, between economic growth and equality. The paper arrives to this conclusion after addressing topics like the effects of inflation on growth and economic efficiency, the key features of "good" economic policy, tax policy in developing countries, expenditure side policies designed to achieve greater equality, as well as other issues on poverty; and socio-economic mobility. On this vein, even though governments cannot significantly modify the income distribution of their societies, it is shown that the policies with a greater potential to shift society's Lorenz curve are those of the expenditure side rather than those of tire tax side. No existe un conflicto fundamental, en principio, entre el crecimiento económico y la equidad. El documento llega a esta conclusión después de tratar temas como los efectos de la inflación sobre el crecimiento y la eficiencia económica, los elementos clave de una "buena" política económica, la política tributaria en países en desarrollo, las políticas de gasto diseñadas para alcanzar una mayor equidad, así como otros temas relativos a la pobreza y a la movilidad socioeconómica. En este sentido, a pesar de que los gobiernos no pueden modificar significativamente la distribución del ingreso de sus sociedades, se muestra que son las políticas del lado del gasto y no las políticas tributarias las que tienen un potencial mayor para desplazar la curva de Lorenz de la sociedad. 1995-11-12 2022-03-17T18:47:54Z 2022-03-17T18:47:54Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/421 10.21678/apuntes.37.421 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/52752 spa https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/421/423 Derechos de autor 2017 Apuntes http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf Universidad del Pacífico Apuntes.
