Causes and Consequences of Income Inequality
Open accessAbstract
_____________________________________________________2 This analysis is based on a sample of 159 advanced, emerging, and developing economies for the period 1980-2012 using a simple growth model (with time and country fixed effects) in which growth depends on initial income (convergence hypothesis), lagged GDP growth, and inequality (as measured by net Gini or the income shares accruing to various quintiles) estimated using system GMM.Augmenting this model with standard growth determinants, such as human and physical capital, does not affect our main findings.See Annex for data sources.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
