Support education or counteract crime? - growth determinants in the context of income inequality

• Języki publikacji: PL

Abstrakty

Nierówności dochodowe są jednym z najczęściej pojawiających się problemów społecznych w kontekście wzrostu gospodarczego państwa. Jak wskazuje literatura teoretyczna związek między rozwarstwieniem a wzrostem gospodarczym nie jest bezpośredni. Wśród kanałów, przez które zjawiska te oddziałują na siebie wymieniane są między innymi edukacja, poziom inwestycji czy przestępczość. Wyniki badania empirycznego przeprowadzonego na danych dotyczących stu dwudziestu krajów (ze szczególną uwagą zwróconą na kraje biedniejsze) w latach 1960-2009 nie potwierdziły jednak hipotez dotyczących znaczenia tych czynników jako kanałów wpływu nierówności dochodowych na wzrost gospodarczy. (abstrakt oryginalny)

EN

Income inequality is one of the most common issues considered in the context of economic growth. As theoretical literature indicates, income inequality interacts with the level of development through various channels, e.g. education, investment level or delinquency. We used data from 120 developed and developing countries to verify empirically the existence and strength of these channels. The estimates cannot confirm the statistical or economic relevance of the channels proposed by the theory in linking inequalities and growth. (original abstract)
