LA EVOLUCIÓN DE LA DISTRIBUCIÓN PERSONAL DE LA RENTA EN ESPAÑA (1973-2000).

In this paper, changes in the Spanish personal in come distribution along the period 1973-2000 are studied using the parameter estimations of the Dagum model for the state and its autonomous communities. With this aim, in the first place, a theoretical approach to the parameters of Dagum model is developed to obtain a new characterization of each one of them, in relation to its economic interpretation. Available data from Spanish Household Budgets Basic Surveys and European Union Household Panel are used in order to adjust personal income distributions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
