Abstract

This paper examines the regional and sectoral decomposition of inequality in Ecuador using the more recent household income and expenditure national survey (ENIGHUR) conducted by the National Statistical Office (INEC). In a context of favourable trends of both growth and inequality, also observed in other countries of the region, the results obtained shows a relevance of sectoral disparities greater than that of regional disparities and a joint contribution ranging from ten to thirty percent, depending of the variables and measures employed. The use of alternative measures also affects the inequality trends and it suggests that the improvement of the poorest cannot be attributed to the contribution of the wealthiest
