Spatial Inequality and Development - Is there an Inverted-U Relationship?
Lessmann, Christian - CESifo - 2011
This paper studies the hypothesis of an inverted-U-shaped relationship between spatial inequality and economic development. The theory of Kuznets (1955) and Williamson (1965) suggests that (spatial) inequality first increases in the process of development, then peaks, and then decreases. To test...

Funke, Michael; Ruhwedel, Ralf - CESifo - 2000
Utilizing panel data for 19 OECD countries we find suppor t for the hypothesis that a greater degree of product variety relative to the US helps to explain relative per capita GDP levels. The empirical work relies upon some direct measures of product variety calculated from 6-digit OECD export...

Distribution and Growth in an Economy with Limited Needs
Saint-Paul, Gilles - CESifo - 2001
This paper studies a model of the distribution of income under bounded needs. Utility derived from any given good reaches a bliss point at a finite consumption level of that good. On the other hand, introducing new varieties always increases utility. It is assumed that each variety is owned by a...
