Resumo

O obxectivo deste traballo é analizar a relación entre a desigualdade e a renda dispoñible equivalente a nivel rexional e contrastar o tipo de relación existente entrambas as dúas variables na Unión Europea (UE) no contexto do modelo de crecemento neoliberal. Neste traballo estimamos un modelo con datos de panel mediante o método de mínimos cadrados ordinarios (MCO) de efectos fixos e, ademais, analizamos a posible existencia de autocorrelación espacial no modelo e a necesidade de implementación de modelos espaciais. Unha achega anovadora é a estimación mediante análise semiparamétrica, que permite non condicionar a función relacional. A análise semiparamétrica, a diferenza dunha análise non paramétrica, permitiranos introducir outras variables mediante unha función lineal definida como, por exemplo, a desigualdade inicial, a densidade de poboación, o emprego en distintos sectores (industry mix) ou as transferencias. Esta aplicación da análise semiparamétrica é una contribución relevante deste traballo, xa que aínda é unha técnica nova para o estudo da desigualdade.
