The relationship between income inequality and polarization is an empirical fact: a change in equality might occur … together with a change in polarization. At the same time, polarization might emerge while inequality remains constant. The … disposable income distributions evolved over time. The results indicate that polarization increased in all the considered …

This study examines empirically the impact of income polarization on economic growth in an unbalanced panel of more … than 70 countries during the 1960-2005 period. We calculate various polarization indices using existing micro …-level datasets, as well as datasets reconstructed from grouped data on income distribution taken from the World Income Inequality …
