Title: | Tracking positive and negative effects of inequality on long-run growth [WP] |

Author: | Castells-Quintana, David; Royuela Mora, Vicente |
Abstract: | Despite extensive research, there is still controversy on the effects of income inequality on economic growth. The literature proposes several transmission channels through which these effects may take place, and even the existence of two different forms of inequality. However, empirical studies have generally not distinguished between these channels, nor have their analyses included a consideration of the two forms of inequality and their separate effects on growth. In this paper we review the theory and the evidence on the different transmission channels through which inequality influences growth. |
