“…Financial depth has a positive income-redistributive effect in Africa: consistent with Kai & Hamori (2009). High inflation (above 117% in the mean from Appendix 1) fuels inequality, in line with Albanesi (2007). Trade openness has a negative income-redistributive effect for a significant part of the African continent (Kai & Hamori, 2009).…”

“…Also, while low inflation may mitigate inequality (Bulir, 1998;Lopez, 2004), high inflation has been documented to have a negative income redistributive effect (Albanesi, 2007) in recent African inequality literature (Asongu, 2012f Notes. Dependent variable is the GDP per capita growth rate.…”

“…Easterly and Fisher (2001) found that high price inflation tends to lower the share of the bottom quintile and the real minimum wage increasing income inequality, and that the poor are more likely than the rich to mention price inflation as a central economic concern. Similarly, several other works -such as Bulir (2001) or Albanesi (2007) -presented evidence of correlating high rates of price inflation with income inequality, poverty, or both.…”

The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between inflation and income inequality. The article is mainly theoretical, but considerations presented are illustrated by relevant empirical data. Based on our analysis, we claim that inflation, which accelerated after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1971, could have contributed to the rise in income inequality in the USA since the 1970s. Our article transcends the simple notion of an inflation tax and focuses on other redistributive mechanisms of inflation (Cantillon effect) as one of the main causes of income inequality.

Inflation and inequality

Abstract: Crosscountry evidence on inflation and income inequality suggests that they are positively correlated. I explore the hypothesis that this correlation is the outcome of a distributional conflict underlying the determination of fiscal policy.
