Traversing The Social Pyramid: A Comparative Review Of Income Distribution In Latin America

Adolfo Figueroa and Richard Weisskoff

ISU General Staff Papers from Iowa State University, Department of Economics

Abstract: the study of the distribution of income summarizes a nation's social organization and the outcome of the forces of social change. The measurement of income distribution itself yields a type of social score-card, the resolution of claims by competing groups for the economy's output. As an indication of social justice, income distribution measures as well the extent to which different groups share in a nation's economic progress.
