Abstract

En este artículo se presentan diferentes caracterizaciones del impuesto lineal a partir de sus propiedades redistributivas, fijado el nivel de recaudación. Estas propiedades se refieren a la variación que produce el impuesto, al pasar de la distribución de la renta inicial a la de la renta disponible, sobre diferentes magnitudes: (1) la distancia vertical, en cada percentil, entre la curva de Lorenz (relativa o absoluta) y la línea de equidistribución; (2) la distancia relativa (o diferencia) entre la renta de cada contribuyente y la renta media de la distribución; (3) la participación de cada contribuyente en la renta total; (4) el valor de los elementos de una determinada clase de medidas de desigualdad. En todas estas magnitudes se produce una contracción uniforme al aplicar una función impositiva si, y solo si, dicha función es lineal.
