Abstract

Mexican headcount of poverty shows similar levels of 1992. Nevertheless, its evolution exhibits two clearly different periods: in the first one (1996-2006) it declined permanently, as in the second one (2006-2014) it raised. Through a decomposition exercise it is proved that redistribution effect changed of nature between two periods: in the first, transfers were among the non poor, as in the second these occurred from poor to non poor.
