Wealth Distribution in Cuba (2006– 2014): A First Assessment Using Microdata. Echevarría, Dayma, Gabriele, A., Romanò, S., & Schettino, F. Cambridge Journal of Economics, 43(2):361–383, 2019. Link doi abstract bibtex Recently, a trend towards increasing inequality has been detected in both developed and developing countries. Most of these studies have been focusing on formal monetary variables, since capitalism is a socioeconomic system where monetary relations play a paramount role. However, the distribution of non-monetary assets is also very important, especially so in less developed countries. This paper applies a PCA methodology to analyse the distribution of non-monetary wealth in Cuba, a socialist country where the role of monetary relations is relatively minor. Utilizing the MICS-UNICEF `microdata', the paper provides for the first time an estimation of wealth distribution for three years (2006, 2011, 2014), by area and region. The main results show a non-monotonic wealth inequality reduction. The initial worsening (2006– 11) is more than counterbalanced by a recent improvement (2011– 14).
