“…In developed countries with a high level of economic development, governments implement regulations and policies (governance) to reduce the income gap between the rich and the poor, thus narrowing income inequality. It is consistent with the findings in Matallah (2019). In contrast, governments in developing countries formulate and implement regulations and policies (governance) to promote economic growth.…”

“…For example, Herzer and Nunnenkamp (2013) show that FDI inflow reduces income inequality in 8 European countries from 1980 through 2000 using the two-step GMM estimator and panel cointegration techniques. Recently, Matallah (2019) indicated that FDI inflow narrowed income inequality in six South Asian countries between 1996 and 2012 via estimators of pooled OLS (Ordinary Least Squares), fixed-effects model (FEM), random-effects model (REM) and the one-step difference GMM. Teixeira and Loureiro (2019) support the negative effect of FDI inflow on income inequality in Portugal by using the vector error-correction models (VECM) for time series data from 1973 to 2016.…”

PurposeThe study aims to use individuals using the internet and fixed broadband subscriptions as a proxy for digitalization to empirically assess the effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), digitalization, their interaction on income inequality in developed and developing countries from 2002 to 2019.Design/methodology/approachThe paper used the system general method of moments (GMM) estimators for 30 developed and 35 developing countries.FindingsFDI increases income inequality in developed countries but decreases it in developing countries, digitalization reduces income inequality in both groups, interaction term narrows income inequality in developed countries but widens it in developing countries.Originality/valueThe paper is the first to introduce digitalization into the FDI – income inequality relationship. Furthermore, it provides empirical evidence to show the difference in the role of digitalization in this relationship between developed and developing countries.

Does Fdi Actually Affect Income Inequality? Insights From 25 Years of Research

While there are 25 years of empirical research on how FDI may affect income inequality, there is surprisingly no consensus on this issue. In this paper, we conduct a meta‐analysis on the effect of FDI on inequality using 543 empirical studies from 1995 to 2019. Among various factors, we find that the development level of the study country has the strongest influence on the direction in which FDI affects income inequality. When the primary studies are sorted into three groups based on the GDP per capita of their sample areas, the within‐group estimates on the effect of FDI on income inequality become strongly consistent with each other. Particularly, we find that FDI is associated with higher inequality for the low‐income group, has no statistically significant effect for the middle‐income group, and is associated with lower inequality for the high‐income group. This observation suggests that FDI may increase income inequality as a country initially develops, but reduce inequality as development deepens.

“…In particular, policies and regulations issued by the government are always publicly and transparently monitored (voice and accountability), thus ensuring a more equitable allocation of national resources in society, thus reducing the income gap between the rich and the poor, thus narrowing income inequality. The paper finds it in Richmond and Triplett (2018), Matallah (2019), and Law et al (2020). Furthermore, they use high levels of public spending on social protection (Ortiz-Ospina and Roser, 2016).…”

Global income inequality becomes one of the severe problems in most economies, while government spending financed by public debt can be a good instrument of fiscal policy to reduce this inequality in society. Does institutional quality affect the public debt -income inequality relationship in advanced economies? For the answer, the paper employs the system-GMM and PMG estimator to examine the effects of public debt, institutional quality, and their interaction on income inequality for a group of 30 advanced economies from 2002 through 2020. The paper finds some exciting results. Public debt and institutional quality narrow income inequality, but their interaction term widens. Furthermore, economic growth and unemployment increase income inequality, while education decreases it. The findings suggest some necessary policy implications to narrow income inequality through public debt and institutional quality.
