This study analyzes the distributive impacts of this process in four countries in the region, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. From semi-parametric techniques that allow estimating counterfactual density functions is found that, with the exception of Chile, in the remaining three countries these changes have been equalizing, explaining a significant portion of the decline in inequality. In turn, this reduction has been caused by the wage compression at the bottom part of the distribution. A lo largo de la última década se observa una recuperación del valor real del salario mínimo en América Latina. Este estudio analiza, de manera comparativa, los impactos distributivos del fortalecimiento de esta institución en cuatro países de la región, Argentina, Brasil, Chile y Uruguay. A partir de técnicas semi-paramétricas que permiten estimar funciones de densidad contrafactuales se comprueba que, con excepción de Chile, en los tres países restantes dichos cambios han sido igualadores, explicando una porción significativa de la caída de la desigualdad. A su vez, esta reducción ha estado originada en la compresión en la parte inferior de la distribución salarial. application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2627 spa Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política (IIEP UBA-CONICET) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2627/3376 Documentos de trabajo del Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; Núm. 6 (2015): Documento de trabajo del Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política UBA CONICET Working Papers series at Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; No. 6 (2015): Working paper of Interdisciplinary Institute of Political Economy of Buenos Aires UBA CONICET 2451-5728 Salario Mínimo Desigualdad América Latina Minimum Wage Inequality Latin America The distributive impacts of the minimum wage in Latin America: The cases of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay Los impactos distributivos del salario mínimo en América Latina: Los casos de Argentina, Brasil, Chile y Uruguay info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=dociiep&d=2627_oai
