We employ the synthetic control method to analyze the impact of the quasi-dollarization policy implemented in 1991 on income inequality in Argentina. The findings suggest that the Currency Board had a significant effect on increasing income inequality in Argentina. Additionally, we observe that this policy led to a rise in the unemployment rate and a deterioration of Argentina's external balance. These elements enable us to attribute the observed increase in inequality to a loss of Argentina's competitiveness due to the appreciation of the peso following the currency board, which resulted in higher unemployment rates, thereby exacerbating income inequality.
