Teoretična in empirična analiza Kuznetsove krivulje na panelnih podatkih : delo diplomskega seminarja

Kolarič, Žan Luka (author), Redek, Tjaša (mentor)

V delu obravnavamo povezavo med gospodarsko razvitostjo in dohodkovno neenakostjo. Na podlagi podatkov za več držav preverimo Kuznetsovo hipotezo. Združeni regresijski modeli kažejo obrnjeno U-povezavo med BDP na prebivalca in neenakostjo, medtem ko pri modelih s fiksnimi učinki takšne povezave ne zaznamo. Rezultati kažejo, da se Kuznetsova krivulja pojavlja predvsem pri primerjavi držav med seboj in ne nujno kot razvojna pot posamezne države.

• Title: Theoretical and empirical analysis of the Kuznets curve using panel data

Abstract

This thesis examines the relationship between economic development and income inequality. Using data for several countries, we test the Kuznets hypothesis. Pooled regression models show an inverted U-shaped relationship between GDP per capita and inequality, while fixed-effects models do not provide evidence of such a relationship. The results suggest that the Kuznets curve appears mainly in comparisons between countries and not necessarily as a development path of an individual country.
