Fiscal Redistribution in Latin America

Taxation and government spending are key policy levers the state has in its power to change the distribution of income determined by the prevailing distribution of wealth, market forces, and institutions. How much income redistribution and poverty reduction are being accomplished through fiscal systems in Latin America and the Caribbean? How equalizing or unequalizing are specific taxes? How pro-poor is government spending on education and health? The Georgetown Americas Institute is pleased to welcome Miguel Jaramillo, Nora Lustig, Claudiney Pereira, and Alejandro Werner to discuss fiscal redistribution in Latin America and the Caribbean.
