| Annotation | First, the distributive incidence of social expenditure (both in cash and in kind) in Spain is analysed within a framework of partial equilibrium. Second, the analysis isolates the redistributive effects caused by age differences from those caused by differences between social groups. Within the area of the latter, the type of redistribution that occurs is examined, as well as the point to which the middle classes are privileged recipients of public social spending. In these analyses decomposable indices of generalised entropy are used. The data used for verifying the hypotheses are taken from the European Community Household Panel microdata, 1995 wave. (RH). |
