Abstract

Since Kuznets’ seminal article (1955), the analysis of the links between growth, development, inequality and welfare has generated a large body of economic literature. Three main questions have been addressed: 1) What is the impact of growth and development on inequality? 2) What is the impact of inequality on growth and welfare? 3) What is the impact of pro-equality policies (redistribution, tax regimes, education etc.) upon growth and welfare?.
