Abstract EN
This paper investigates whether the relationship between income inequality and growth changes over time.
Two time periods, covering 1970–1985 and 1985–1999, are analyzed and compared.
A statistically significant relationship between inequality and growth in either time period fails to emerge.
However, there are indications that effect of inequality on growth may be different in the nineties when compared to the seventies.
In the literature, a consistent negative effect of inequality on growth is documented although the significance of the effect is open to debate.
This paper also finds a negative effect of income inequality on growth in the seventies but, although statistically insignificant, a consistently positive effect in the nineties.
