LINDENBOIM, Javier. Distribución funcional del ingreso, un tema olvidado que reclama atención. Prob. Des [online]. 2008, vol.39, n.153, pp.83-117. ISSN 0301-7036.

The conceptual debates in Latin America about the region's socio-economic performance and the evidence for its dominant features of inequity in the last few decades have focused on the measures of dispersion or concentration of the income received by individuals or families. Unfortunately, they have not generally included any reference to the way the productive factors manage to appropriate the wealth that is annually generated in each of our countries. The basic proposal of this study is, precisely, to call attention to this aspect. With this in mind, it notes the limited academic production on this in our region, while at the same time alluding to the not very abundant available information. All of this is illustrated for the case of Argentina.
