Income Inequality and Economic Growth: Evidence from the American Data Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Ugo Panizza
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
Cross-country studies have found a negative relationship between income inequality and economic growth. The main problem with the cross-country analyses is the poor quality of the data on income distribution. This paper tests the robustness of the cross-country results to the use of a more accurate cross- state data-set.
