Abstract

In questo lavoro si fornisce unabreve rassegna dei più recenti contributi teorici, sul legame tra distribuzione e crescita, basati sull’incompletezza dei mercati dei capitali Se i mercati dei capitali sono imperfetti e le decisioni individuali di investimento avvengono in condizioni di disuguaglianza, vi è la possibilità che l’accumulazione di capitale (umano e…sico) non sia efficiente. La causa risiede nella disparità nelle opportunità individuali di investimento, le quali possono perpetuare e, in alcuni casi, inasprire la disuguaglianza e influire sull’equilibrio di lungo periodo. Si evidenzia come tali modelli teorici siano in grado di supportare la dinamica individuale dei vari Paesi, diversa l’una dall’altra, nella misura in cui prevedano equilibri multipli edinamichedipendenti dalle condizioni iniziali. La convergenza nella distribuzione de lreddito è invece interpretabile sulla base dei modelli teorici che prevedono equilibri di lungo periodo con mobilità sociale e distribuzioni ergodiche.
