ABSTRACT This thesis improves the statistical information needed to design redistributive policies. It is applied to the case of the Ecuador, but its results are applicable to other countries. The work 1) includes a comprehensive review of the literature on inequality in Ecuador, 2) estimates the contributions to the total inequality of the place of residence, the branch of activity and the level of education 3) designs and simulates policies to correct inequality 4) adjusts survey microdata to aggregates of national accounts and 5) examines the impact of the adjustment on the previously reviewed contributions and policies. The most innovative contributions of the work are the presentation of the first distributional national accounts of Ecuador and the estimation of the parameters of some redistributive policies, with the original and the adjusted microdata. Among the most striking results are the important role of education as an explanatory factor for inequality in Ecuador, the influence of the measure of inequality used on the design of redistributive policies and how the concealment of incomes harms not only the less advantaged, but above all responsible entrepreneurs.
