Análisis del pib per cápita y coeficiente de gini del Ecuador en el periodo 2007 - 2017

Abstract

This research work provides an analysis of economic growth its measurement, interpretation and use, as well as economic development studying the same parameters. The analysis is given of the macroeconomic indicators GDP per capita and the Gini coefficient which is a measure of the redistribution of wealth that is given in numbers from 0 to 1. For its development, it is taken into consideration the data calculated from the year 2007 up to data for the year 2017. Some economies maintain a priority to increase economic growth variables such as GDP, GDP per capita, budget deficit and other data that represent monetary amounts of income to the country. Sometimes over time these priorities take a capitalist bias since it tends to ignore the variables of economic development which give a diagnosis of the well-being of the population in a country, for this economic development analyzes the calculations of variables as coefficient of Gini, unemployment rate, illiteracy rate, mortality rate, among others that do not necessarily speak of economic income, in fact the majority presents as a unit of measurement the percentage, the percentage variation from one year to another or the proportion of the population total as the unemployment rate. The data and concepts of GDP per capita and the Gini coefficient in Ecuador from 2007 to 2017, its variations, behaviors, which are compiled in tables within the research and thus elaborate the appropriate graphics that facilitate the assimilation of the variables fulfilling in the best way the objectives proposed and pursued in this observation document. Recognize the factors that influence the changes of the macroeconomic variables studied among them can find economic policies such as fiscal policy with their public spending and trade policy with agreements that seek to improve the trade balance by increasing their exports. Establish the relationship that GDP per capita has with the Gini coefficient, looking for it by means of the statistical calculation, coefficient of correlation or Pearson coefficient, whose result would show if the behaviors of one can affect the behavior of the other over time. With all the analysis of the data provided by INEC and the World Bank, external actions or factors that influenced their variations explained in the conclusions of the objectives set out in this writing are established. The incidence that the GDP per capita had with the Gini coefficient with the correlation coefficient and the years in which the variations of these can be noticed simultaneously through graphics with standardized data. In the final part we appreciate the recommendations offered by the author in order to obtain an effective economy, prioritizing the guarantee that the population of Ecuador receives social benefits and not only that the country in general adapts its accounts in order to comply with expectations that are often raised or imposed by entities exogenous to the country.
