general-equilibrium mapping from tariffs to household inequality measures. This also yields predictions for linkages between … tariffs, development level, and observed household inequality. Working with a new dataset, we then examine crosscountry … variation in inequality with respect to import protection. Results are consistent with predictions of the factor-intensity model …

The evidence … difficult to gauge the magnitude of the contribution this makes to income inequality. Variation in exposure to health risks … inequality. If material advantage can be excercised within the domain of health, then economic inequality will generate health …
