FindingsWhat happened to poverty and inequality
after the crisis?We show that from the peak of the crisis it
decreased substantially, but stayed at the level of the 90s, how it was done?
Furthermore, current levels of poverty and inequality rest on fragile stance, fiscally unsustainable and generating perverse incentives towards informality and welfarism.

What happened with Poverty and Inequality after CrisisThe “Observed” Indexes (Disposable Income):National Moderate poverty decreased from
55% to 30% in 2009, those are the “high” levels of the 90s.
International poverty 4US$ and 2.5 US$ PPP also decreased from 38% to 14% and 23% to 5%.
GINI decreased from 0.520 to 0.447

But contribution of market and redistribution differsWhen analyzing contribution of market
(before redistribution policies) and redistributive effect:
Between 2003 and 2006 the fall in poverty and inequality mostly explained by market (rebote) and international context.
Between 2006 and 2009, the fall is explained mostly by redistribution, (90% of Extreme Poverty and 40% of GINI coefficient).

Flagship programsRedistribution occurs principally because of
the moratoria previsional, and other non-contributory pensions, and in second place with the AUH that we simulated in this study.

Problems of this redistribution1) Public expenditure increases to more than
40% of GDP financed by distortive taxes, inflation tax and non-orthodox mechanisms.
Part of increase with export taxes, sensitive to commodities 'prices. Part of the increase related to indirect subsidies to firms, difficult to decrease.
