abstract: 'Relationship between income inequality and economic growth is ambiguous
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
one but most mainstream economists view real income increase as a drag
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
of economic growth as it leads to higher labor cost, lower
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
competitiveness and reduction of employment. In this study we provide an
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
alternative view and show that labor income increase may have also
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
positive effect on growth. Which of these two effects dominates in a
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
particular country depends on institutional and legal environment of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
that country, its macroeconomic conditions and also its economic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
policies. We test empirically two distinct economies - a small, very
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
open economy of Slovakia and a large, closed economy of the Euro area.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We find that in equilibrium, both economies are wage-led on average in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the period 1993 - 2017 and hence it appears to be beneficial to pursue
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
policies that would reduce income inequality.'
