abstract: 'This study examines the impact of agrarian structures on income
inequality over the long run. First, it exhibits the relationship
between land and income distribution by developing a theoretical model
based on Harris and Todaro (1970) and Lewis (1954). High land inequality
increases income Gini coefficients in the urban sector as well as the
rural sector, not only by creating congestion in the urban subsistence
sector, but also by feeding the growth of the urban reserve army of
labor, which pulls down the wages in the urban capitalist sector.
Next, the study investigates the empirical relationship between land
inequality, level of urbanization and income inequality using
cross-country datasets. The estimation results support the theoretical
model and indicate that the level of land inequality has a significant
impact on determining the level of urbanization, and urban and overall
income inequalities. Moreover, the analysis finds that overurbanization
increases income inequality. The empirical analysis controls for
institutional factors like education inequality and the level of
democracy. The results present a stronger evidence on the land
inequality''s influence through urbanization than through education and
democracy.
These results suggest that policymakers should have a broader view as to
the importance of agrarian policies. A progressive land reform or/and
subsidies protecting small peasantry can also reduce urban income
inequality and poverty over the long run. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All
