Abstract

Resumen: En el marco de un incremento significativo en los niveles de gasto público, a partir de 2009 Argentina instrumentó la Asignación Universal por Hijo, un programa de transferencia de ingresos de diseno universal sujeto al cumplimiento de determinadas condicionalidades. Este programa ha tenido efectos en la reducción de disparidades de ingresos, pero el efecto regional no ha sido analizado por la literatura. Utilizando la metodología de diferencias dobles, en este artículo se presentan estimaciones que procuran mostrar si el programa ha tenido efectos también en la reducción de las brechas regionales en términos de desigualdades de ingresos, pobreza e indigencia. Los resultados muestran que, si bien pueden apreciarse algunos efectos de reducción de disparidades, no puede asegurarse que las brechas regionales reflejadas en la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (EPH) disminuyan en forma estadísticamente significativa en todos los casos. Abstract: Consistently with the substantial increase in public expenditure levels, in 2009 Argentina instrumented a public cash transfer program, called Asignación Universal por Hijo, which had been designed as a universal program, but subject to the fulfillment of several requirements. This program has had an effect on the reduction in income disparities, but the regional effect has not been analyzed by the literature. By employing the methodology known as differences in differences, this paper presents estimations that attempt to show whether this transfer has been effective in reducing regional differences in terms of income inequality, and both moderate and extreme poverty, Results show that although there are several effects on the reduction of disparities, it cannot be assured that all regional gaps reflected in EPH are reduced in a statistically significant way
