dc.description.abstract | This paper investigates the evolution of income inequality in Spain during its transition to democracy, suggesting a method for the correction of under-reporting of earnings and profits in the Household Budget Surveys’ data. The contribution is twofold: the methodological proposal, based on income-expenditure discrepancy and scaling-up to National Accounts, improves on previous work and can be useful for similar historical sources in other countries. Second, its application results in an alternative history of the distribution of income in this case, changing the levels and also the observed trend. Previous literature asserted a substantial equalisation, related to the democratisation process, while after the adjustment inequality in disposable income is shown to have been quite persistent. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Este artĂculo analiza la evoluciĂłn de la desigualdad de rentas en España durante la transiciĂłn a la democracia, proponiendo un mĂ©todo para corregir la infra-declaraciĂłn de ingresos en las Encuestas de Presupuestos Familiares. La contribuciĂłn es doble: la metodologĂa, basada en la discrepancia entre rentas y gastos y en el ajuste a Contabilidad Nacional, puede ser de utilidad para fuentes histĂłricas similares en otros paĂses. En segundo lugar, su aplicaciĂłn resulta en una interpretaciĂłn alternativa en este caso, al cambiar los niveles de desigualdad y tambiĂ©n la tendencia observada. Si la literatura anterior habĂa tratado de una sustancial mejora en la distribuciĂłn, vinculada a la democracia, tras el ajuste efectuado la desigualdad en la renta disponible se muestra bastante persistente. | es |
