Estrutura da Demanda Final e Distribuição de Renda no Brasil: Uma Abordagem Multissetorial Utilizando uma Matriz de Contabilidade Social

Several studies have attempted to reveal the relations between growth and income distribution in Brazil. Nevertheless, the theme continues in the light of current theoretical controversies and inequalities still existing. The aim of this study is to examine to what extent changes in the profile of final demand resulting from increases in consumption for the poorest families, change the distribution of income among household groups. For this, a model is used multipliers a social accounting matrix of the Brazilian economy. The results do not say that the increased consumption of these families creates a more equitable pattern of income.
