O que mais impacta a redução da pobreza: o crescimento da renda ou redução da desigualdade? estimativas para as Regiões Brasileiras e os setores da atividade econômica.

Abstract

The inequality poverty and income-poverty elasticities estimated in this work present evidence that the first one is larger than the latter, meaning that policies for fighting poverty through inequality reduction are more effective than increasing income. On the other hand, taking into consideration the effect on the Brazilian regions, lower values for the elasticities are initially verified in the North/Northeast in relation to the other regions of the country. However, following the national tendency, the values for inequality-poverty elasticities in the North/Northeast are also superior to the income-poverty elasticity.
