We examine how inequality and openness interact in shaping the long-run growth prospects of developing countries. To …. We show that inequality affects growth very differently in an open economy as opposed to a closed economy: If the economy … is close to the technological frontier, the positive demand effect of inequality on growth found in closed-economy models …
