Description
Summary:This paper provides a methodology to decompose the redistributive effect of fiscal policy for individual income units that belong to groups. This methodology is useful to identify how much of redistributive effect and also progressive/regressive effects apply within groups, between groups and among overlapping units, and whether there are tensions between different effects. A case study with an application of fiscal policy in Argentina for year 2010 is provided.
