Abstract

This paper examines the link between economic globalisation, social protection expenditure, and within-country income inequality. We examine the relationship using income inequality data from both the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) and the Standardized World Income Inequality Database (SWIID). The results based on the LIS data confirm previous findings that economic globalisation, especially economic flows, associates with higher income inequality, and that social protection expenditure are negatively associated with inequality. Cette analyse examine les liens entre la mondialisation économique, les dépenses en protection sociale, et les taux d’inégalités de revenus au sein des pays. Nous mesurons cette relationen utilisant les données de l’Étude sur les Revenus deLuxembourg (LIS) et la base de données des inégalités de revenusstandardisée (SWIID). Les résultats basés sur la LIS confirment une relation positive entre la mondialisation économique, en particuliers les flux commerciaux, et le niveau d’inégalités économiques. La protection sociale est au contraire associée à un niveau plus faible des inégalités.
