Despite success in reducing poverty over the last twenty years, inequality in Chile has remained virtually unchanged …, making Chile one of the least equal countries in the world. High levels of inequality have been shown to hamper further …, we employ this methodology to produce consistent and precise estimates of inequality for every county in Chile. We find …

With a relative approach to pro-poor growth it is assumed … that inequality does not to vary when all incomes are multiplied by a constant whereas, with an absolute approach to pro …-poor growth, inequality is supposed not to vary when an equal sum is added to all incomes.

In order to identify the effects of remittances on poverty and inequality, counterfactual … consumption in the hypothetical case of no remittance is estimated in a selection corrected estimation framework.
