摘要

有大量文献记录了金融服务对收入不平等的非共识性影响。尽管有这些广泛的文献，而且撒哈拉以南非洲国家（SSA）普遍存在种族分裂现象，但人们对其对上述关系的中介效应知之甚少。本文重点评估种族分化对金融获取收入不平等关系的影响。基于 Kripfganz 和 Schwarz（2019 年）在 1990-2019 年期间对三十七（37）个撒哈拉以南非洲国家样本中的时间不变变量进行的动态面板估计，发现种族分裂阻碍了金融获取，从而减少了撒哈拉以南非洲国家的不平等。在进行了与腐败、城市化、金融知识普及和社会地理因素相关的若干敏感性测试后，结果保持稳定。此外，使用其他金融获取措施和改变估算技术也能使结果保持稳定。

Financial Access and Income Inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa: Does Ethnic Fragmentation Give New Evidence?

There is a large body of work documenting the non-consensual effects of financial access on income inequality. Despite this extensive literature and the predominance of ethnic fragmentation in Sub Saharan Africa countries (SSA), little is known about its mediating effect on the above relation. This paper focuses on assessing the effect of ethnic fragmentation on financial access income inequality nexus. Based on Kripfganz and Schwarz's (2019) dynamic panel estimator of time-invariant variables in a sample of thirty-seven (37) SSA countries over the period of 1990-2019, it is observed that ethnic fragmentation hinders financial access to reduce inequality in SSA. The results remain stable following several sensitivity tests related to corruption, urbanization, financial literacy and socio-geographic factors. They are also robust to the use of alternative measures of financial access and to change estimation technique.

期刊介绍： Economic Systems is a refereed journal for the analysis of causes and consequences of the significant institutional variety prevailing among developed, developing, and emerging economies, as well as attempts at and proposals for their reform. The journal is open to micro and macro contributions, theoretical as well as empirical, the latter to analyze related topics against the background of country or region-specific experiences. In this respect, Economic Systems retains its long standing interest in the emerging economies of Central and Eastern Europe and other former transition economies, but also encourages contributions that cover any part of the world, including Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, or Africa.
