| description | Using standard fiscal incidence analysis, this paper estimates the impact of tax and expenditure policies on income distribution and poverty in Argentina with data from the National Household Survey on Incomes and Expenditures 2012-2013. The results show that fiscal policy has been a powerful tool in reducing inequality and poverty but that the unusually high levels of public spending may make the programs unsustainable. The impact of several policy measures carried out by the government have also been simulated. |

Utilizando un análisis de incidencia fiscal estándar, este trabajo estima el impacto de las políticas tributarias y de gasto público en la distribución del ingreso y la pobreza en Argentina con datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Gastos de los Hogares 2012-2013. Los resultados muestran que la políticas fiscal ha sido una poderosa herramienta en la reducción de la desigualdad y la pobreza pero los inusualmente elevados niveles de gasto público podrían hacer que los programas resulten no sustentables. Se ha simulado también el impacto de algunas medidas de política fiscal llevadas a cabo por el gobierno. Instituto de Economía y Finanzas. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas.
