Early starts, reversals and catchup in the process of economic development
Chanda, Areendam; Putterman, Louis - 2004

Harms, Philipp; Zink, Stefan - 2002
We present a model of growth and distributional conflict that implies a non-monotonic relationship between average wealth and the likelihood of radical redistribution: while the net benefits of redistribution for members of the poor class are small at low stages of development, a shift towards...
