Growth, Income Distribution, and Poverty: A Review
Published By: UNU-WIDER on eSS | Published Date: November, 09 , 2001This paper reviews recent research dealing with the relationships between economic
growth, income distribution, and poverty. This generally fails to find any systematic
pattern of change in income distribution during recent decades. Neither does it find any
systematic link from fast growth to increasing inequality. The level of initial income
inequality is not a robust explanatory factor of growth, but some recent empirical studies
have found a negative impact of asset inequality on growth. [Discussion Paper No.2001/129]
