Income Inequality and Economic Freedom Revisited: Are Freedom and Equality Conflicting Values? Evidence from the twenty-first Century
This empirical research addressed the short – and long-run relationship between economic freedom (and its subcomponents) and income inequality using a panel of 102 countries between 2000 and 2018. The results of employing an autoregressive distributed lag model showed that economic freedom has a detrimental impact on income inequality measured by any of the main inequality indicators. However, the results point to a relatively inelastic relationship. Additionally, the study explored the interactions between the subcomponents of economic freedom and income inequality, again pointing to a rigid relationship. While the size of the government and legal property rights increase income inequality, deregulation exerts the opposite effect. This paper closes with future guidelines for research.
期刊介绍:
International Economic Journal is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal devoted to publishing high-quality papers and sharing original economics research worldwide. We invite theoretical and empirical papers in the broadly-defined development and international economics areas. Papers in other sub-disciplines of economics (e.g., labor, public, money, macro, industrial organizations, health, environment and history) are also welcome if they contain international or cross-national dimensions in their scope and/or implications.
