“…DLTOP's effect on economic growth is positive but not statistically significant in both models, contrary to Enowbi Batuo and Asongu (2015)'s results. In general, the ARDL models provide mixed proof on the connection among income dissimilarity and economic growth, consistent with previous literature (Enowbi Batuo and Asongu, 2015;Cetin, Demir, & Saygin, 2021;Chroufa and Chtourou's, 2022).…”

The aim of this research was to investigate how income inequality impacts the economic growth of Ethiopia by analyzing the various ways in which it influences economic growth. The study gathered an exclusive dataset from diverse secondary sources that ranged from 1981 to 2016. To examine the link between transmission channels, inequality of income, and growth, the study utilized a stepwise regression autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach. The research concluded with four lines of reasoning, including political economy, innovation, fertility, and saving channels. According to the findings, inequality of income has a positive impact on innovative activities and total savings as measured by gross fixed capital formation, but it only has a negative and significant effect on economic growth through the channels of innovation and savings. While caution should be taken when generalizing the findings to other countries, this study offers valuable insights into the intricate link between income inequality and economic growth specifically in Ethiopia. The study recommends that policymakers implement targeted policies to address the different transmission channels through which income inequality affects economic growth, to comprehensively tackle this issue.

“…The concentration of the indigenous population, human capital, initial income levels, and regional economic activity all stand out as important factors influencing income inequality in Chile. In a similar Chroufa and Chtourou (2022) validate the fulfillment of Kuznets' inverted-U hypothesis when examining GDP per capita growth in linear terms. Several research, such as those by Adrián Risso and Sánchez Carrera (2019), Mijs (2021), Sampson (2016), still employ the Kuznets inverted-U hypothesis in their analyses.…”

This research investigates the spatial dynamics of Food, Energy, and Water (FEW) Nexus policies in Southeast Asian countries, analyzing their impact on income inequality. Utilizing spatial econometric models, the study explores intricate spatial patterns and employs spatial lag models along with a panel Granger causality test. Examining data from variables such as population, urbanization, life expectancy, GDP, HDI, CO2 Emission and energy consumption, our findings reveal significant spatial dependencies and causal relationships. The study enhances understanding of spatial dimensions in policy impacts for sustainable development, offering valuable insights for targeted FEW Nexus interventions to address income inequality in Southeast Asia.

Inequality among people has several unwanted effects, in humanistic, social and economic contexts. Several studies address distributional preferences among groups, but little is known about when inequality issues are focused and when and why inequality abatement measures are brought on the political agenda. We show that during the period 2004 to 2023, inequality issues were focused during elections to the EU and UK parliament and with greatest strength during the elections to the EU parliament in May 2004 and to the UK parliament in May 2015. Periods with high unemployment and inflation cause the discussion on inequality to be followed by discussions on inequality measures. However, when the discussion of inequality is followed very closely by the discussions of abatement measures, inequality aversion becomes more strongly associated with the macroeconomic variables inflation and GDP (recessions) than with unemployment and more strongly associated with the concerns for fairness than concerns with war and crime. The results were obtained examining Google Trends and scholarly studies.
