contents CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFERS IN BRAZIL, CHILE AND MEXICO: IMPACTS UPON INEQUALITY Sergei Soares Rafael Guerreiro Osório Fábio Veras Soares Marcelo Medeiros Eduardo Zepeda Economía y Finanzas CCT Inequality Gini decomposition Conditional Cash Transfers We decompose changes in the Gini coefficient to investigate whether the Conditional Cash Tranfers (CCT) have had an inequality reducing effect in three Latin American countries: Brasil, Mexico and Chile. We conclude that CCT programs helped reducing inequality between themid-1990s and the mid-2000s. The share of total income represented by the CCTs is very small, less than 1%. But as their targeting is outstanding, the equalising impact of CCTs was responsible for about 21% of the fall in Brazilian and Mexican inequality figures In Chile the effect was responsible for around 15% of the reduction. 2009 artículo científico 0188-6916 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=59724201007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=597 Estudios Económicos application/pdf El Colegio de México, A.C.
