Abstract

Between 1930 and 1970 in Chile, the hacienda system, the most durable institution in Chilean history, underwent decay. As is to be expected, this process resulted in several social and political conflicts in the countryside. One aspect remains unexplored: its impact on real wages and agricultural income distribution. The main purpose of this paper is to present new evidence on wages and income inequality in the Chilean agricultural sector between 1935 and 1971. The paper also discusses some hypotheses about the political economy mechanisms that lead to the tendencies observed.
