We examine the (potentially nonlinear) relationship between inequality and growth using a method which does not require … used (nonlinear) parametric approaches - the economy first expands rapidly with a large decline in inequality, plateaus … when inequality remains relatively stable, and then decreases rapidly with a large increase in inequality. This novel …

We investigate the relationship between remittances inflow and economic growth in a sample of 65 emerging countries … over the period 1988-2018 using the semi-parametric panel data model with fixed effects as proposed by Baltagi and Li (2002 …). Our empirical results show that the effect of remittances inflow on economic growth exhibits a highly nonlinear pattern …
