The claim of globalization critics that the income gap to industrial countries is bound to widen for essentially all developing countries as a consequence of economic globalization is in conflict with empirical evidence. Economic performance differs tremendously across developing countries. We...

The globalisation is supposed to reduce regional inequality, poverty and promote sustainability and improve overall human quality. Several studies have provided contradictory results in regard to the effect of globalisation, either in case of growth of GDP, or reduction in inequality and poverty...

The paper presents an index of globalization covering its three main dimensions: Economic integration, social integration, and political integration. Using panel data for 123 countries in 1970-2000 the effects of the overall index of globalization as well as sub-indexes constructed to measure...

The debate that rapid globalization over the past decades is a leading cause of increased income inequality within developed economies has been far from conclusive, including Dorn et al. (2018). We depart from existing studies by extending an earlier empirical framework by Gaston and Rajaguru...

The present study examines the relationship between openness (trade-GDP ratio) and growth. Our cross-country and panel regression analysis of World Bank data for 51 less-developed countries (LDCs) during shows that for only 11 rich and highly trade-dependent LDCs a higher real growth is...

Rodrik (2016) pointed out that late industrializing countries are experiencing a lower peak at lower income levels in the manufacturing employment share hump-shaped path. The present study develops a theoretical model to analyze the dynamics of industrialization and deindustrialization in...

We introduce two separate datasets (The Global Consumption Dataset (GCD) and The Global Income Dataset (GID)) containing an unprecedented portrait of consumption and income of persons over time, within and across countries, around the world. The benchmark version of the dataset presents...
