This paper analyzes the interplay of growth, (re-)distribution and policies when the latter are set exogenously or when … the latter depend on economically important fundamentals. A redistribution policy generally causes lower growth, but less … growth. The paper shows that the long-run cross-country relationship between growth and endogenous policy is generally not …

division of land led to a more equal distribution of land; other potential drivers of growth are smooth at the boundary and …What are the long-term economic effects of a more equal distribution of wealth? We exploit variation in historical … right-shifted skill, income, and wealth distribution. Higher top incomes and top wealth in equal division areas coincide …

We analyze the association between inequality and growth across 72 labor market regions in Sweden 1990-2006. Highly … accurate measures of growth and inequality (gini, Q3, p9075, p5010) are derived from population register data. The regional set …th and 75th percentiles enhances regional growth.
