Resumen
MARTINEZ MARTINEZ, Oscar Alfonso. UNIVERSAL CASH TRANSFERS AND INCOME. SIMULATION IN A MEXICAN ZONE. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.28, pp.333-348. ISSN 0124-5996.
This article compares the effects of the basic income and conditioned cash transfer programs that have been implemented in Latin America. The empirical case study is the Programa Oportunidades from a Mexican metropolitan zone. A Kernel estimation was applied and it showed no statistical differences in household incomes whether they received cash transfers or not. However, family incomes equivalent to the threshold of the minimum wage or the extreme poverty show significant statistical differences in the purchasing power which aids in the eradicaton of extreme poverty.
Palabras clave : social policy; basic income and poverty.
