Income Inequality and Per Capita Income: Equilibrium of Interactions

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
The formal theoretical model in this study provides general equilibrium evidence that a country's ranking with respect to either of income inequality (αr), or GDP Per Capita (Gr) each are better statistics for a country's `placement' in the cross-section of countries than either of actual realizations for Gini Coefficients (α) or GDP Per Capita (G).

HOUSEHOLD INCOME OR HOUSEHOLD INCOME PER CAPITA IN WELFARE COMPARISONS*

Review of Income and Wealth, 1980
In studies of income distribution household income is the common measure of household welfare, although household per capita income is better since it automatically “corrects” for household size. Perhaps the continued use of the former is a consequence of the belief that in practice the two give very similar results. This paper shows that in many cases

Per Capita Income and the Mystery of Missing Trade

Review of International Economics, 2015
AbstractThe literature on the Heckscher–Ohlin–Vanek (HOV) model has concentrated on the production side, particularly the unrealistic assumptions of identical techniques and factor price equalization. However, less is known about the demand side. In this paper, we compare the supply side assumptions versus the demand side assumptions as a cause of the ...

Adversary activities and per capita income growth

Per Capita Income, the Growth of Income and the Savings Ratio

1974
If the growth rate, and the level of per capita income, can be raised by government policies which induce capital formation and lower the capital-output ratio, the domestic savings ratio may rise independently of the inflation rate because of the dependence of the savings ratio on the level of per capita income and the growth of income itself. The time

Per Capita Income Convergence and the Role of International Trade. [PDF]

American Economic Review, 1997
The recent literature on cross-country convergence of per capita income has largely ignored international trade. The reason might be perspective. Most convergence papers frame the analysis in a `Solow world' in which countries exist independent of one another. But most international trade economists have a very different perspective of a world in which

The Effect of State Income Taxation on Per Capita Income Growth

Public Finance Review, 2004

The impact of institutions, culture, and religion on per capita income [PDF]

, 2009
Despite many approaches of neoclassical and endogenous growth theory, economists still face problems in explaining the reasons for income differences between countries.
