It utilizes a standard fiscal incidence analysis and combines data from the Permanent Household Survey (EPH) and the National Household Expenditure Survey (ENGHo). The findings indicate that fiscal policy has been a powerful instrument in reducing inequality and poverty. However, unusually high levels of public spending could potentially render the programs unsustainable.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0TaxesPublic SpendingInequalityPovertyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#5.02.01https://doi.org/10.18800/economia.202302.003
