Any such exercise is fraught with difficulty, so our simplifying assumptions are carefully explained. Rather than look at tax and spending completely independently, we evaluate net incidence of major programs-such as health care and pensions-to get a more holistic evaluation of redistribution. Our results show that fiscal policy is, on balance, progressive, but that there is room for significant improvement. In particular, energy subsidies, university education and public pension programs provide disproportionate benefits to higher-income households. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/168 606 $aTaxation$zHonduras 606 $aFiscal policy$zHonduras 606 $aAggregate Factor Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aBusiness Taxes and Subsidies$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aCorporate & business tax$2imf 606 $aCorporate income tax$2imf 606 $aCorporate Taxation$2imf 606 $aCorporations$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aPersonal income$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 607 $aHonduras$2imf 615 0$aTaxation 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 7$aAggregate Factor Income Distribution 615 7$aBusiness Taxes and Subsidies 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aCorporate & business tax 615 7$aCorporate income tax 615 7$aCorporate Taxation 615 7$aCorporations 615 7$aEconomics 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aPersonal income 615 7$aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aWealth 676 $a336.2 700 $aNewhouse$b David Locke$01602652 701 $aGillingham$b Robert$01602654 701 $aYackovlev$b Irene$01602653 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820684503321 996 $aThe Distributional Impact of Fiscal Policy in Honduras$93926676 997 $aUNINA
