Income Distribution and Convergence in the Transition Process – A Cross Country Comparison
The aim of this study is to clarify, whether and where the widespread opinion that systemic change from socialism to capitalism went along with dramatically rising inequality is true and how income distribution does affect the overall growth performance of transition countries. The countries under review are: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Russia. The findings are analysed against the...
متن کاملUnemployment, Inflation and Income Distribution: A Cross- country Analysis
This is the first study to attempt to explain income inequality using unemployment and inflation and international cross-sectional data. Using a SURE system, inflation is found to have an increasing impact on the shares of the lower 80% of the income distribution, while reducing the share of the highest 20%. Unemployment has a negative effect on the share of the first 40%, while increases the s...
متن کاملCross-country Income Convergence Revisited
We reassess the convergence properties of the cross-country distribution of income and its determinants using the dataset constructed by Klenow and Rodriguez-Clare (2005) and our updated version of the same data. Consistent with the literature, the ergodic distribution of output per worker features separate convergence clubs. In contrast to previous ndings, productivity display convergence in ...

متن کاملA Forward Projection of the Cross-Country Income Distribution
This paper proposes and implements a method to predict the evolution of the crosscountry income distribution using a stochastic parameterization of the Azariadis– Drazen (1990) nonconvex growth model. We estimate the dynamic structure of that model from data in the Penn World Tables, and define inductively all future distributions as a norm-convergent sequence in the function space L1. Elements...
