Abstract

In a majority of OECD countries, GDP growth over the past three decades has been associated with growing income disparities. To shed some lights on the potential sources of trade-offs between growth and equity, this paper investigates the long-run impact of structural reforms on GDP per capita and household income distribution. Pro-growth reforms can be distinguished according to whether they are found to generate an increase or a reduction in household disposable income inequality. Those that contribute to reduce inequality include the reduction in regulatory barriers to competition, trade and FDI, as well as the stepping-up in job search assistance and training programmes. Conversely, a tightening of unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed is found to lift mean household income but to lower income among poorer households, thus raising inequality. Several other reforms have no significant impact on income distribution. Les politiques de croissance peuvent-elles réduire les inégalités? : Une analyse basée sur le revenu disponible des ménages Dans la majorité des pays de l'OCDE, la croissance du PIB au cours des trois dernières décennies a été associée à des disparités croissantes de revenus. Afin d’éclairer les sources potentielles d’arbitrage entre croissance et équité, cette étude examine l'impact à long terme des réformes structurelles sur le PIB par habitant et sur la distribution du revenu des ménages. Les réformes favorables à la croissance peuvent être distinguées selon qu’elles augmentent ou réduisent la dispersion du revenu disponible. Les politiques qui contribuent à réduire les inégalités comprennent la réduction des obstacles réglementaires à la concurrence, au commerce et à l'IDE, ainsi que l'intensification des programmes d'assistance et de formation à l’emploi. Inversement, un resserrement des prestations de chômage pour les chômeurs de longue durée augmente le revenu moyen des ménages mais baisse celui des plus pauvres, augmentant ainsi les inégalités. Plusieurs autres réformes n’ont pas d'impact significatif sur la répartition des revenus.
