“Impacto del desarrollo financiero y la economía sumergida en la desigualdad de ingresos en América Latina: el rol de la investigación y desarrollo, periodo 2000-2019”

Inequality is a problem that affects the whole world, and it is one of the main problems that have effects on the economy and mainly in the social sphere, however, the Latin American region has the highest inequality in the world. In this context, the objective of this research is to examine the impact of financial development on income inequality using a database for Latin American countries during the period 2000-2019. The analysis was carried out using the methodology of quantile regressions, introduced by Koenker and Basset (1978). The data were obtained from the World Bank (2020), World Income Inequality Database (2020) and International Monetary Fund (2020). The results are consistent with the theoretical framework, where the importance of financial development and the shadow economy on income inequality in countries is evident. In the period analyzed, the correlation in Latin America was found to have an effective relationship between the variables. The results of the Generalized Least Squares show a decrease in income inequality; and by means of the quantile regressions at the general level in Latin America, the fifth quantile shows a greater reduction in income inequality. A policy implication derived from this research is that Latin American countries should allocate new channels of quality and sustainable investments in financial products to improve economic development and increase productivity in order to reduce inequality.
