“…Our conclusions in this respect are consonant withFabrizio et al (2016), which takes a methodologically very different approach to look at the nexus among structural reform, inequality, and growth. We view the two methodologies as complementary, insofar as they have very different strengths and weaknesses.…”

The primary sources of economics are human thinking and observation through sense-perception. Economics does not accept any super-sensory source as a valid field of enquiry. However, divine revelation granted to Prophets by God, is a source of knowledge that deals with wide-ranging issues including the economic problem. The main argument of the paper is that by integrating human understanding of the divine revelation with conventional economics, existing frontiers of the subject can be expanded. Although the divine revelation is found in the basic texts of all revealed religions, yet the present paper deals with the Islamic primary sources (the Qur'an 2 and the hadith 3) only. The paper enumerates, by way of example, six problem areas where the Qur'anic revelation can give a lead. These areas are: inequality, human happiness and unhappiness, economic balance, philanthropy, financial crises and stock exchange instability, and waste in human society. However, such a conclusion would firstly require overcoming prejudice against religion and non-conventional fields of enquiry.

“…Ostry, Berg, and Tsangarides (2014) and Ostry, Berg, and Kothari (2016) have explored trade-offs between income inequality and economic growth. A recent research note by the International Monetary Fund compiled by Fabrizio et al (2017) stressed that macrostructural policies can have important consequences in terms of income for developing countries. The impact of the reforms can be contingent on the reform design as well as country specific characteristics.…”

We investigate the relationship between women's economic, social, and political rights with the level of income inequality. We use dynamic panel estimation to check our hypothesis that that strong rights for women translate into higher participation in economic productive activities, improve income and education and support for future generations, thus reducing the overall income inequality in the economy. We further look at how a country's overall economic performance and the status of women's education alter the relationship. The relationship is strengthened if countries are either in the higher‐income spectrum or have higher levels of female educational attainment. (JEL O1, I00, H00)
