Using the GMM system, we find robust evidence that, while increases in total expenditure, spending with social assistance and security, and expenditure on infrastructure reduce inequality, total and capital revenues and expenditures related to public debt increase inequality. Thus, the net effect of fiscal policy on inequality may not be positive mainly because the tax system is still very regressive and many of the resources are spent on debt. Therefore, the discussion of how to determine and qualify social spending levels in Brazil, which are necessary to fight poverty and reduce social and income inequalities, is directly related to the revision of the tax collection system. 2019 artículo científico 0425-368X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=572362863002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5723/572362863002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5723/572362863002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5723/572362863002/572362863002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5723/572362863002/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5723 ESTUDIOS ECONÓMICOS application/pdf Universidad Nacional del Sur ESTUDIOS ECONÓMICOS (Argentina) Num.73 Vol.XXXVI |
