Local government expenditure on education and its effect on income inequality at the county level in Chile

In this paper we analyze the effect of per-capita education expenditure on the distribution of autonomous income among Chilean counties, where income inequality is measured through Gini and Theil indices, and the S80/S20 and S90/S10 ratios. The longitudinal study considers 307 Chilean counties in or...

The longitudinal study considers 307 Chilean counties in order to estimate a fractional response Probit model for Gini index and random-effects Tobit models for the remaining indicators of inequality. Main findings indicate that an increasing per-capita education expenditure would reduce the income inequality among Chilean counties. Moreover, the estimates show that the above negative effect is not immediate but it would take from 3 to 5 years in reducing income inequality at the county level. Finally, the evidence suggests that indigenous people in Chile would be exposed to a larger income inequality when the latter is quantified by Theil index.La presente investigación analiza el efecto del gasto público municipal per cápita en educación sobre la desigualdad en la distribución de ingresos autónomos para las comunas de Chile, siendo esta última medida mediante los índices de Gini y Theil y los indicadores 10/10 y 20/20. El estudio longitudinal considera 307 comunas en la estimación de modelos Probit de respuesta fraccional para el coeficiente de Gini y Tobit con efectos aleatorios para los restantes indicadores de desigualdad. Los principales hallazgos indican que aumentos en el nivel de gasto en educación per cápita reducirían la desigualdad de ingresos en las comunas de Chile. Adicionalmente, las estimaciones muestran que este efecto negativo no es inmediato, sino que tardaría entre 3 a 5 años en reducir la desigualdad comunal. Finalmente, la evidencia sugiere que la población indígena chilena estaría expuesta a una mayor desigualdad, cuando esta es medida a través del índice de Theil.application/pdfspaUniversidad EAFIThttp://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ecos-economia/article/view/5366http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ecos-economia/article/view/5366Copyright © 2019 Felipe M.
