This dissertation studies the effects of inequality on macroeconomic policies. Inequality has become a very important issue, but there are few studies about the effects of inequality on monetary and fiscal policies. This dissertation attempts to fill this gap. The dissertation consists of three chapters. Chapter 1, “Inequality and the Interwar Gold Standard” studies the relationship between inequality and the interwar gold standard. Many economic historians have argued that adherence to the gold standard was an important obstacle to recovery from the Great Depression. It is therefore important to understand the factors that affected a country’s determination to remain on gold. Many proximate determinants of adherence have been identified, including democracy, creditor status, sterling bloc membership and the structure of a country’s trade network. Here I explore a neglected but fundamental determinant: inequality. I find that countries with higher inequality at the start of the Great Depression remained on gold longer than countries with lower inequality. I conduct a survival analysis using two discrete time hazard models to test the effect of inequality on the probability of exiting gold for each country. The paper lays out the econometric evidence for this relationship and analyzes the underlying political economy that explains the relationship between inequality and adherence to the gold standard. Four detailed case studies of the relationship are provided: Australia, New Zealand, France and the U.S., four cases that illustrate the general proposition. Chapter 2, “The Short-Run and Long-Run Effects of Inequality on Inflation in the United States” studies effects of inequality on inflation in the in the United States. It uses a wide range of inequality measures. The cointegration test provides evidence that there exists a long-run relationship between inequality and inflation in the United States. The Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and impulse response function indicate that inequality has a negative effect on inflation in the long run, however, the short-run effect is not significant. Chapter 3, “The Short-Run and Long-Run Effects of Inequality on Inflation- Panel Data Analysis” expands the dataset to several panels and studies the effects of inequality on inflation. It uses several panels of international data covering different periods and monetary regimes. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model shows a negative long-run relationship between inequality and inflation, and the Arellano-Bond GMM estimator reveals a negative causal effect running from inequality to inflation in the short run. The paper lays out the econometric evidence for these relationships and analyzes the underlying political economy that explains the relationships between inequality and inflation.

▼ This study was about the reaction of disadvantaged groups and persons to inequality and deprivation. Set in Badia, a low income community in Lagos, Nigeria, it investigates the main effects of community members’ attributions of causes of poverty in motivating or impeding their reaction to inequality. Relative Deprivation (RD) theory proposed that dissatisfaction with social outcomes depend on subjective feelings rather than objective criteria. However scholars found empirical difficulties in predicting collective action on the basis of RD. Resource Mobilization proponents argued on the contrary that feelings are not salient within the framework of action. The infusion of Social Identity Theory (SIT) into RD research however resolved the paradox of action with SIT’s argument that action was contingent upon the perception of permeability and legitimacy of inter-group structures. However, despite successes of SIT, scholars found that it was unable to predict the type of actions group members will take in response to injustice and the nature of possible actions. Propositions of RD and SIT were therefore suitable for integration into the proposition of Taylor & McKirnan’s (1984) Five Stage Model (FSM) of inter-group relations that reactions to RD feelings were predicated upon the dynamics of the social philosophy guiding stratification. Using an integrated RD, SIT and FSM framework, this study shows how disadvantaged group members’ responses to deprivation proceeded as predicted by the FSM from mutual acceptance to collective action mediated by their perception of causes of poverty. This complements the trend in the literature on reaction to inequality and it's almost ii exclusive focus on instrumental and affective concerns while neglecting the role of consensually shared beliefs in motivating or impeding action and willingness to act in response to injustice. The study hypothesized that the pattern of causal attributions of poverty of respondents will shape their ‘predisposition to act’ and the type of action they would engage in. The main hypothesis of the study therefore was that poverty attribution mediates the relationship between ‘feelings of injustice’ and ‘reaction to inequality’. For instance where respondents attribute poverty to individual or fatalistic factors they will adopt individual action whereas where attributions are structural, responses will be collective, where feelings of injustice were present. A survey was conducted using a five-level Likert scale to decipher respondents’ perceptions of feelings of injustice, their causal attribution of poverty, their levels of willingness to embark on collective action and actions taken in the preceding year. In the first stage of analysis, responses (n = 383) were reduced using Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to determine how questionnaire items contributed to variables under consideration. Subsequently, variables extracted were correlated and regressed. While bivariate correlation was used to test simple relationships between variables, a stepwise… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. F.H.

▼ The income distribution of a region is a summary measure of many social processes and is directly associated with a region's level of welfare. This notwithstanding, regional welfare has been conventionally measured only with regard to a region's income. The primary objective of this study is to construct a theoretically consistent social welfare index that takes into account the level and distribution of income as well as the basic needs requirement of the population of a region. Using data obtained from a Kenyan household survey, we use a probit model to estimate parameters of an abbreviated social welfare function. Since welfare is not observable, it is proxied by a measurable variable, child survival at the household level. Regional child survival probabilities are computed and analyzed. The probit index for child survival turns out to be a good approximation to an abbreviated social welfare index at the household level. This index, once computed, can be used to compare levels of well being enjoyed by households and regions, given a certain income level, the distribution of that income, and the extent to which basic needs in a region are being met. The study also investigates the pattern of income distribution across regions. We use data from an integrated labour force survey to estimate the gini coefficients. To complement this, we use the same data set to compute income shares of different ordinal groups by rural and urban areas. The results indicate that income inequality in Kenya is more pronounced in rural than in urban areas. For the rural areas, Rift Valley Province registers the highest and Coast, the lowest inequality measure, while for the urban areas, Nairobi has the highest inequality measure. Child survival probabilities are estimated and reported for each of the eight regions. Results show that the urban areas have higher overall survival probabilities, than the rural areas. Further, Nairobi has the highest survival probabilities, and North Eastern, the lowest. Coincidentally, North Eastern also has the lowest income inequality, and Nairobi, the highest urban inequality. However, whenever these two indices are combined to measure welfare, Nairobi ranks the first on the welfare ladder while North Eastern ranks the last. The approach to the measurement of welfare developed in this thesis is new in the sense that the weights of its arguments are determined by household preferences and are consistent with utility theory. These weights are unique because they prevail only when the household welfare is maximum. The empirical results reported in this thesis should help policy makers gain insights into the patterns of regional income distribution in Kenya, and provide guidance on how regional welfare differences may be addressed. With this information, it is possible for the government to design policies that can be implemented to improve welfare of regions that have lagged behind for decades.

This dissertation explores three questions related to empirical estimation of the relationship between aggregate demand and the functional distribution of income—i.e. the share of income going to labor (the wage share) vs. the share going to capital (the proﬁt share). Previous studies exploring this relationship tend to ﬁnd diﬀerent results depending on the methodological approach that they follow. Aggregative studies, which estimate a bi-directional system of the wage share and demand, tend to ﬁnd evidence of proﬁt-led demand and a proﬁt squeeze. Structural studies, which separately estimate the eﬀects of the wage share on the components of aggregate demand while treating distribution as exogenous, more often ﬁnd that demand is wage-led. Chapter 1 tests whether aggregative estimates are biased if they omit key variables or fail to account for the cyclical eﬀects of demand on productivity—one of the two main components of the wage share. It ﬁnds no evidence of omitted variable bias. However, when the cyclical eﬀects of demand on productivity are accounted for, the short-run relationship between the wage share and demand is found to be characterized by wage-led demand and cyclical productivity eﬀects, rather than proﬁt-led demand and a proﬁt squeeze. Chapter 2 testswhether structural studies are biased if they do not account for endogenous eﬀects of demand on the wage share or the systemic relationships between the diﬀerent components of aggregate demand. Overall, no evidence of such bias is found. In fact, estimates of systems with endogenous distribution for the two models for which valid instruments could be found indicate that demand is wage-led. Furthermore, the results indicate that demand becomes more wage-led when the models are estimated in this way. Chapter 3 set out to test whether the eﬀects of the wage share on demand diﬀer in the short and long run. However, its ﬁndings suggest that the wage share is not a strong predictor of long-run output growth. It argues that more attention should be paid to the main components of the wage share—labor productivity and the real wage—which appear to be stronger determinants of growth.

▼ In this thesis, theoretically sound and empirically tractable solutions are provided to problems inherent in the traditional practice of measuring inequality in the distribution of annual income. Inequality is taken throughout to mean the extent to which society falls short of a situation in which everyone is equally well-off. The measurement of annual income inequality is inappropriate in this regard because it is consumption, not income, that produces welfare. Furthermore, individual, and therefore social, welfare depends on consumption over the lifecycle, not just in a single year. There are also problems of a less theoretical nature. Measured annual inequality includes an age-related component attributable to the shape of lifecycle income profiles. Annual inequality indices also fail to account for the effects of income mobility. In response to these problems, two new approaches to the measurement of inequality are proposed. In the welfare approach, an improved index of inequality is sought by replacing annual income with a summary statistic of lifecycle consumption. Lifecycle inequality is then decomposed within and among age-cohorts. Intercohort inequality captures the contribution of economic growth to total inequality, while intracohort inequality is an index of pure interpersonal inequality. The decomposition approach is a compromise between the inadequacy of measuring annual income inequality and the impossibility of measuring lifecycle consumption inequality. Total inequality is measured in panel consumption data treated as a single distribution, and then decomposed into indices of age-related, mobility-related, and pure interpersonal inequality. Empirical implementation of the decomposition approach indicates that age-, and especially mobility-related, inequality account for substantial portions of total measured inequality. Sensitivity tests of the decomposition approach indicate that it is a robust method of measuring inequality. Finally, the decomposition approach is applied to the problem of measuring the trend of inequality, widely observed to have been remarkably constant in the post-War period. Although the trend of measured annual inequality is constant, lifecycle inequality as measured using the decomposition approach declines over the sample period. The principal finding of this thesis is that the decomposition approach to the measurement of inequality is essential for an accurate assessment of the level and trend of pure interpersonal inequality.

Thesis (MComm)—Stellenbosch University, 2015.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In recent decades, economists and sociologists have taken an increasing interest in the study of income attainment and income inequality. Many of these studies have used census data, but social surveys have also increasingly been utilised as sources for these analyses. In these surveys, respondents’ incomes are most often not measured in true amounts, but in categories of which the last category is open-ended. The reason is that income is seen as sensitive data and/or is sometimes difficult to reveal. Continuous data divided into categories is often more difficult to work with than ungrouped data. In this study, we compare different methods to convert grouped data to data where each observation has a specific value or point. For some methods, all the observations in an interval receive the same value; an example is the midpoint method, where all the observations in an interval are assigned the midpoint. Other methods include random methods, where each observation receives a random point between the lower and upper bound of the interval. For some methods, random and non-random, a distribution is fitted to the data and a value is calculated according to the distribution. The non-random methods that we use are the midpoint-, Pareto means- and lognormal means methods; the random methods are the random midpoint-, random Pareto- and random lognormal methods. Since our focus falls on income data, which usually follows a heavy-tailed distribution, we use the Pareto and lognormal distributions in our methods. The above-mentioned methods are applied to simulated and real datasets. The raw values of these datasets are known, and are categorised into intervals. These methods are then applied to the interval data to reconvert the interval data to point data. To test the effectiveness of these methods, we calculate some measures of inequality. The measures considered are the Gini coefficient, quintile share ratio (QSR), the Theil measure and the Atkinson measure. The estimated measures of inequality, calculated from each dataset obtained through these methods, are then compared to the true measures of inequality.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Oor die afgelope dekades het ekonome en sosioloë ŉ toenemende belangstelling getoon in studies aangaande inkomsteverkryging en inkomste-ongelykheid. Baie van die studies maak gebruik van sensus data, maar die gebruik van sosiale opnames as bronne vir die ontledings het ook merkbaar toegeneem. In die opnames word die inkomste van ŉ persoon meestal in kategorieë aangedui waar die laaste interval oop is, in plaas van numeriese waardes. Die rede vir die kategorieë is dat inkomste data as sensitief beskou word en soms is dit ook moeilik om aan te dui. Kontinue data wat in kategorieë opgedeel is, is meeste van die tyd moeiliker om mee te werk as ongegroepeerde data. In dié studie word verskeie metodes vergelyk om gegroepeerde data om te skakel na data waar elke waarneming ŉ numeriese waarde het. Vir van…

▼ This dissertation studies the progress and impacts of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) reforms in China. The primary interests center on impacts of non-ownershipchange reforms and privatization on Chinese SOEs’ productivity and efficiency. The research comprises of three major sections. Section one briefly reviews the history of SOEs’ reform in China and examines the changes in some selected performance indicators with help of a comprehensive dataset on 863 Chinese firms from 1995 to 2001. In addition, causes of Chinese SOEs’ privatization and determinants of firms’ inefficiency are also studied. Section two examines the effects of privatization and non-ownership-change reforms on firms’ productivity in China. As one of the most prominent empirical challenges in China privatization studies, the endogeneity problems are addressed with a first-difference instrumental variable GMM estimation. The estimation results show that privatization does not improve firms’ productivity immediately. Instead, its effects become significantly positive in the year after conversion. In addition, partial privatization fails to lead to improved efficiency whereas insider privatization boosts firms’ productivity shortly after the first year of privatization but the effects quickly fade after two years of privatization. Lastly, all non-ownership-change reforms, except leasing, are proved to be ineffective even when issues like social burdens, worker redundancy, management incentives and soft-budget constraint are tackled before the restructuring. To shed light on impacts of privatization on firms’ technical efficiency, Section three proposes a two-step stochastic frontier model. The first step addresses the endogeneity issue by estimating the probability of privatization with a random effects probit model. The second step estimation investigates the causes of Chinese manufacturing’s inefficiency with a random-effects stochastic frontier model. The estimation results suggest that privatization, hardening budget constraint and reducing firms’ social obligations have significantly contributed to the improvements of firms’ efficiency. However, no evidence is found that more autonomy for managers and lower debt asset ratio may help improve firms’ efficiency. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Wei-Chiao Huang.

▼ This dissertation is an econometric analysis of the earnings trends and instability for less-skilled workers during the 1970s through the 1990s. The study is divided into two major sections, dealing, respectively, with a longitudinal study of earnings instability and a time-series analysis of the trends in less-skilled wages. In the first section, the empirical autocovariance structure of earnings is parameterized and estimated using the generalized method o f moments (GMM). The analysis of longitudinal earnings data indicates that unskilled earnings had become unstable during most o f the sample period particularly during the 1980s, despite the long economic expansion that took place during the same period. The decline in average job tenure among less-skilled workers, and, to a lesser extent, de-unionization and the shift to non-manufacturing jobs contributed to these results. The second section proposes a structurally defined vector autoregressive framework to identify the response of unskilled wages to changes in trade and technology. Impulse response analysis is employed to chart out the response of unskilled wages to structural shocks in the international trading equilibrium and domestic technology. A benchmark specification of the model indicates that production wages are significantly related to movements in the price ratio. On the other hand, the rate of investment in information technology is shown to have a wage-depressing effect, at least in the long run. In most specifications, shocks to relative prices as well as trade flows have a relatively lasting and stronger effect on wages. While the influence of technology remains to be significant in some specifications, the results are indicative of a larger wage-effect of trade than was previously thought. The overall implication of these findings is that policy options to improve the economic status of unskilled workers are limited. While demand side policies such as trade restrictions seem to be unwarranted, education and training policies that can affect the supply of unskilled workers can be effective, albeit under overwhelming odds.

▼ This thesis aims at explaining over-time and cross-country variations in functional income distribution. The methodology used is based on cross-country panel data econometric analysis on the determinants of the labour share of income. The results, contributing to the general understanding of the causes of income inequality, are particularly relevant for developing countries and useful to device adequate pro-poor and pro-labour policies. The three main contributions are summarised below.1. The Labour Share of Income around the World. Evidence from a Panel Dataset: Two fundamental reasons can be identified as to why factor shares have been downplayed in the economic literature: first, because of their nature, they are difficult to define and measure; second, they have for a long time been perceived as constant across time and space. An adjustment to the usual approaches of measurement is suggested in order to compile an extensive dataset of the labour share across 89 countries - both developing and developed - for all or part of the period 1970-2009. Results show that the measure, when compared to other five measures previously used in the literature, is correlated but non-redundant. Contrary to the traditional assumption of stability of factor shares, the data present evidence of considerable variability. Specifically, there seems to be a general reduction in the labour share around the world, in particular from the mid-1980s onwards.2. Revisiting the Evidence on International Trade, Technological Change and Labour: Fixed effects regression methods are used to examine the short-run mechanisms underlying the variability in the labour share. In particular, the focus is on the relationships between the labour share and measures of international trade and technological change. The results are robust across different specifications, for yearly data as well as 3- and 5- year averages, and after performing instrumental variable estimation. They suggest that trade openness and technological innovation have a positive and significant effect on the labour share. However, Foreign Direct Investments inflows and mechanisation seem to be negative drivers. Moreover, other factors, such as the level of economic development, education, and the strength of the regulations in the labour market, seem to also significantly influence functional distribution of income. Much of the variation in the labour share, however, remains unknown.3. How Does Democracy Promote the Labour Share of Income? Summary statistics on the labour share show that between-variation is much greater than within-variation: functional income distribution is determined by factors which change substantially across countries but tend to be relatively stable within countries. The thesis tries to shed some light on the long-run and political economy determinants of the labour share of income. The core of the empirical analysis consists of a set of cross sectional (5-year averages) regressions in which the labour share is regressed on democracy measures: robust evidence… Advisors/Committee Members: SAVOIA, ANTONIO A, Sen, Kunal, Savoia, Antonio.

▼ How important are the distributional effects of international trade? This has been one of the most central questions pursued by international economists, particularly because much of the public opposition towards increased openness is due to the belief that welfare changes are unevenly distributed. In this dissertation, I rely on counterfactual analysis and natural experiments to study topics of international trade, welfare and inequality in the context of both developing and developed economies. In particular, I combine theoretical modeling and empirical analysis to examine the effects of international trade on (1) real wages of individuals within and across countries; (2) within-sector wage dispersion caused by heterogeneous responses of firms with different productivity levels to cheaper imported inputs. In each of the three chapters, I contribute to the existing literature by relaxing simplifying assumptions that have proved to be inconsistent with data and exploring new mechanisms that link international trade to inequality. Chapter 1, “Trade and Real Wages with Demand and Productivity Heterogeneity,” presents a general equilibrium model that incorporates the effects of trade liberalization on both an individual’s nominal wage and consumer price index. A vast majority of the literature focuses on the income channel, which is its effect on the distribution of nominal wages across workers. A small number of studies consider the expenditure channel, which is its differential impact on consumer price indices. It is well known that the consumption baskets of high-income and low-income consumers look very different. To our knowledge, there are only three case studies that have looked at these two channels jointly for individual countries, Argentina, Mexico and India. We provide a unified framework incorporating both channels by allowing for non-homothetic preferences and worker heterogeneity across jobs. In spite of its many dimensions of heterogeneity at the individual level, the model remains tractable enough that allows us to estimate its key parameters and perform counterfactuals. Chapter 2, “Trade and Real Wage Inequality: Cross-Country Evidence,” addresses the following question: what is the impact of trade liberalization on the distribution of real wages in a large cross-section of countries? Trade liberalization affects real-wage inequality through two channels: the distribution of nominal wages across workers and, if the rich and the poor consume different bundles of goods, the distribution of price indices across consumers. Prior work has focused mostly on one or the other of these channels, but no paper has studied both jointly for a large set of countries. Based on the theoretical framework in Chapter 1, I measure the distributional effects of trade liberalization incorporating both channels for a sample of 40 countries. More specifically, I parametrize the model using sector-level trade and production data. Because skill-intensive goods are also high-income elastic in the data, I…

▼ This dissertation investigates the factors that firms take into consideration when they decide in which manner to expand internationally (i.e. foreign direct investment and international trade). Another component of the investigation focuses on what types of firms benefit the most and what are the associated benefits with expanding internationally. I investigate self-selection and learning-by-exporting hypothesis by applying matched sampling techniques and non-structural econometric models. Using a Chinese firm-level dataset, I find that firms that start exporting are more productive than non-exporting ones. Additionally, in most industries exporters become more productive in time. I then investigate how income inequality leads firms to make different choices on how they expand internationally. I develop a simple theoretical model by carefully choosing a mean-preserving income distribution. I find that changing the mean-preserving parameter of the income distribution affects market demand for firms' products and firms' choosing of strategies for international expansion. Some, but not all firms gain market shares due to larger market size caused by the more concentrated income distribution around the mean. Using Gini coefficient as the proxy for income distribution, I demonstrate empirically that some firms gain market shares and benefit from more consumers becoming part of the middle class due to the corresponding change in income distribution. I also study the aggregate implication of opening the economy in a two-country Dynamic Stochastic Equilibrium in which firms have heterogeneous productivity in the spirit of Melitz (2003). I show that benefits incurred by international engagement are not equally distributed among firms. I separate firms into four categories based on their productivity levels. The highest productivity firms gain the most by breaking into a new market as multinationals. The second highest productivity firms become exporters and obtain the second largest market share. The third highest productivity firms only serve the domestic market, while the lowest productivity firms exit the market.

▼ Many budget measures have been introduced by governments with the stated aim of transferring resources to particular groups - in general, the groups which are seen to receive lower incomes. An evaluative method is required to assess the extent to which resources are actually redistributed to households by the budget. This thesis suggests a taxonomy for assessing whether a measure of household income that takes account of central government budget activities is distributed differently from household earnings (market income). The taxonomy for evaluating the budget's distributive influence has four stages. Each stage progresses from observable household market income data to a more comprehensive income measure. Stage One is basically an accounting concept. Household market income is compared with an income measure which takes account of those central government budget transactions which have an obvious or direct effect on the sources and uses of household income. Stage Two is similar to studies of the influence of the budget on income distribution, such as those by Gillespie and Musgrave, which are referred to as quantitative studies. Quantitative studies are not based on structured models of economic activity, but use the results of other incidence analysis to approximate the economic effects of budget receipts and expenditures on household incomes. Stages Three and Four require structured general equilibrium models to take consistent account of the behavioural relationships important to the analysis of the economic effects of the budget by household income. The Harberger-Mieskowki-McLure (HMM) two-sector general equilibrium models specify both factor and product price changes, incorporating theories about the short-run macroeconomic effects of budget measures. Conclusions about budget incidence based on the HMM approach, however, relate to aggregate factor (capital and labour) income. Multi-sector models pioneered by Shoven, Whalley and Fullerton focus on the analysis of tax incidence by household income groups. Given the current state of the art, it is not possible to analyse the distributional effects of the entire budget on household income distribution using general equilibrium models. This thesis provides a clearer definition of some of the issues involved. A quantitative study of the money-income effects of the 1981/82 government budget is carried out as part of this thesis. The government budget is defined as the national income account of the central government's current income and outlays. Work by the New Zealand Department of Statistics based on a tax modelling system called ASSET provides the foundation for manipulating the massive data requirements of this thesis topic. The results are expressed by 10 household income groups (deciles) and 10 household types and represents the entire population residing in private dwellings. A major contribution of this thesis is that it analyses the distribution of government expenditures by household income and household type. It is found that the 1981/82 budget… Advisors/Committee Members: Castle, Len, Wells, Graham, Hawke, Gary.

▼ Billions of dollars in development aid are sent to developing countries every year. Weak institutions in recipient countries are the main impediments often discussed to prevent aid from reaching the intended targets. At the same time, they also hinder aid effectiveness in improving the lives of the people. This dissertation argues that the impact of aid on income distribution and human welfare in recipient countries differs by their institutional quality. Institutions encompass many different dimensions. This dissertation focuses on: corruption in government, quality of bureaucracy, and the rule of law. This study explores the impact in two essays. The first essay investigates the role of institutions in aid distribution. In particular, we examine the interplay between aid and institutions on income shares of different population groups (measured by income quintiles), and on the gap between the rich and the poor (measured by the Gini coefficient). The study uses Principal Component Analysis to construct an institutional index from the three components: corruption, bureaucratic quality, and the rule of law. Employing Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) methodology on a panel data of 85 countries from 1960 to 2004, this study finds that an increase in aid as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) decreases the income shares of the poor (quintile 1 and quintile 2), but increases that of the rich (quintile 5), thereby widening the gap between the rich and the poor (Gini coefficient). Contrary to our main hypothesis, though, recipient countries’ institutions do not play any role in aid distribution. Similarly, the second essay also focuses on the importance of recipient institutions, but it assesses aid effectiveness in improving human welfare. The study considers five human development indicators: the Human Development Index (HDI), the health index, the infant mortality rate, the education index, and the average years of schooling. The study empirically tests the hypothesis by utilizing the same methodology as in the first essay, but on a panel of 80 countries from 1980 to 2004. The findings suggest that human welfare in recipient countries improves as aid increases. The improvement appears to be driven more by the health than the education sector. Furthermore, aid is more effective in countries with poorer institutional quality, which is contrary to the hypothesis. However, the results are not consistent when taking into account government’s pro-poor public expenditure. Advisors/Committee Members: Rioja, Felix K. (advisor), Cozzens, Susan E.

Cette thèse comprend quatre chapitres sur la répartition des revenus. Tous les chapitres sont interdépendants et leur objectif commun est de discuter le concept d’inégalité dans la composition du revenu. Ce concept est étudié de manière approfondie du point de vue conceptuel, mathématique et économique. Le chapitre 1 présente cette thèse et ses principales conclusions. Le chapitre 2 présente le concept d’inégalité dans la composition du revenu, ainsi qu’un résumé statistique pour son évaluation technique. Le chapitre 3 analyse les déterminants de la variation de l’inégalité des revenus à la lumière de la nouvelle dimension de l’inégalité précédemment introduite. Le chapitre 4 étudie l’évolution de l’inégalité dans la composition du revenu en Italie entre 1989 et 2016. Le chapitre 5 propose une méthode pour analyser conjointement les répartitions du capital et du travail et de l’épargne et de la consommation. Cette méthode repose sur le concept d’inégalité dans composition du revenu. Enfin, le chapitre 6 conclut cette thèse et jette les bases de futures recherches en la matière.

This thesis consists of four chapters on income distribution. All chapters are interrelated, and cohesively they serve the sole purpose of discussing the concept of income composition inequality. This concept is thoroughly explored from a conceptual, mathematical, as well as political economy perspective. Chapter 1 introduces this dissertation and its main findings. Chapter 2 presents the concept of income composition inequality, together with a summary statistics for its technical assessment. Chapter 3 analyzes the determinants of income inequality variation in light of the novel inequality dimension previously introduced. Chapter 4 studies the evolution of income composition inequality in Italy between 1989 and 2016. Chapter 5 proposes a method to jointly analyze the distributions of capital and labor and of saving and consumption across the population. This method hinges on the concept of income composition inequality. Finally, Chapter 6 concludes this dissertation and lays the ground for future research on the matter.
