Sectoral Reallocation, Growth and Labor Income Inequality

  • Hernan J. Moscoso Boedo

Abstract

This paper focuses on the transitory relationship between output level and Income inequality. As a result of either permanent or transitory sectoral technological shocks the economy will adjust to a new steady state equilibrium, but during the transition the dynamics of wages and workers will generate departures from the steady state level of income inequality.
