Growth Equity Social Welfare
Social welfare growth was evenly divided by falling inequality of household income, the differential of mean incomes between surveys and national accounts and real GDP growth.
Growth, Equity and Social Welfare Annual Growth Rates by Quarters in Brazil
In 2014, a reversal of almost all distributive-growth trends happened, starting with the labor
market, which was the main driver behind former distributive changes.

Growth Equity Social Welfare
Did inequality stop falling? When?
This project pursues the measurement and analysis of the second moment of Brazilian
income distribution without losing sight of the first moment, or existing synergies between
them.
Joint look at inequality, mean and social welfare are key to depict what has been happening
in Brazil since the 1990s.
The second general point in all contributions proposed here is to emphasize changes and
not only levels of these dimensions in different points in time.
First, measurement and causal issues that affect inequality should also have implications on
the mean, and vice-versa. Second, differences across time are a way to deal with
measurement issues and to identify causality. Makes it easier to compare different data sets
and periods of analysis

Household Surveys Disposable Income 2003-2015• 1. The trend in Gini, mean and Social Welfare of disposable income is close to
gross income.
• 2. The role of earnings (market incomes) in that trend. 79,3% of mean income; 52,6% of Gini inequality; 71,8% of Social Welfare
• 3. Differences between GDP and Household Income Growth (2003-13): 1,9% annual

PNAD IRPF
Combining PIT (IRPF) and PNAD In Levels 2015
Did the rich boost social welfare?
• Annual growth of PIT taxpayers’ average declared income (10.1%) was much higher than that of GDP (3%) from 2007 to 2011. Would the rich filers of PIT have experienced an “economic miracle” unnoticed by the National Accounts or in surveys like PNAD? Not necessarily. Deflators and formalization can explain the difference..
• What drove PIT income growth was exempt incomes. While the population ages and grows, PIT taxpayers become younger and declare more dependents (a reduction in the number of elderly declarants and their reallocation as dependents of their sons and daughters is observed) and non-taxable incomes.
• At least part of these differences can be linked to changes in the incentives provided by Brazilian tax laws. Thus, it is risky to conclude on the trend of Brazilian inequality using PIT available tabulations at face value.
