In this paper, we will analyse the influence of the unemployment and inflation rate on
Spanish income inequality. At the same time, we will evaluate how the main redistributive
measures to reduce inequality behaved. All this, in a period with different economic
cycles, which affected differently the evolution of income distribution. We will employ the
Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method, using time series, to carry out the study. The
resulting methodology after applying differencing will allow us to show that both
indicators have a negative influence on inequality, showing some signs of persistence.
However, it will not adequately capture the effectiveness of redistributive measures. We
will not even find evidence on the tax effect. Nevertheless, when analysing the evolution
of the indicator used to measure the redistributive effect of the tax, we will see its
effectiveness in reducing inequality has been gradually increasing over time. [-]
