GOERLICH, Francisco J.. INCOME DISTRIBUTION IN SPAIN: 2004-2013. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.42, pp.47-72. ISSN 0120-6346.  https://doi.org/10.22395/seec.v20n42a2.

This paper analyses the evolution of Spain´s income distribution between 2004-2013. The main purpose is to examine the role that the labor market played in the inequality gap increase, as well as the role that several public actions played via monetary transactions, direct taxes, and public services supplied in kind. The methodology uses several classical inequality indicators, which appear on the Standard of Living Survey. The results lead to the conclusion that inequality increases are closely related to the labor market deterioration that arose after the 2007 crisis.
