Includes bibliographical references (p. 64-70).
In this study I specify econometric models that test the hypothesis that income distribution affects innovation. The econometric results suggest that countries with more equal income distribution spend more on innovative activity, produce more innovative outputs, and are more productive in producing innovations than those with less equal income distribution. Other significant determinants of innovation include income level, the size of economic activity, and population density. However, my findings indicate that the effects of income distribution on innovation are limited to developing countries. Income distribution, the size of economic activity, and population density significantly affect innovation expenditures only in developing countries. Income level affects R&D expenditures in both developed and developing countries. Regarding the determinants of innovation output level, income distribution affects only developing countries, whereas the size of economic activity affects both developed and developing countries. Income level is not a significant factor in determining the level of innovation output. As for innovation productivity, income level is significant for both developed and developed countries, while income distribution and population density affect only developing countries. The size of economic activity is not a significant determinant of innovation productivity. Income distribution has an effect only on developing countries, because knowledge and information, the essence of innovation, have the properties of increasing returns to scale due to externalities, and increasing marginal productivity. Income distribution affects innovation expenditure, innovation output, and innovation productivity by affecting the aggregate demand composition and human-capital accumulation. Because the market size and the stock of human capital are relatively small in developing countries, income distribution has significant effects on the size of market, the stock of human capital, and therefore innovation.

COVERI, ANDREA. "Structural change, Technology and Income Distribution." Doctoral thesis, Università Politecnica delle Marche, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/11566/263520.
Our dissertation proposes an integrated approach to structural change and distributional dynamics combining a Neo-Schumpeterian perspective on technological change and a Post-Keynesian view on demand and income distribution. We build on evolutionary literature and distinguish between the input and output of innovation and between product and process innovation, proxying a technology-driven and cost-based competitiveness strategy, respectively. In line with Post-Keynesian theory, we account for the specific demand structures of industries and the conflictual nature of income distribution, investigating the structural and institutional factors which shape the balance of power between capital and labour and therefore the dynamics of wages and profits. In addition, we account for the modern process of global fragmentation of production spurred by the worldwide liberalization of trade and capital markets and the strong reductions of communication and transport costs. Accordingly, we investigate the relationships between offshoring strategies of industries – focusing on their technological dimension – and their growth performance and inquire the impact that the former have on the wage and profit dynamics. On the empirical ground, we use the Sectoral Innovation Database (SID), which has been developed at the University of Urbino and including data for 21 manufacturing and 17 service sectors for six major European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the United Kindgom) from 1994 to 2014. This dataset provides a comprehensive view of industries’ dynamics, allowing to properly investigate the changing composition of the economies and the structural transformations related to the internationalization of production. Moreover, our analysis properly accounts for the role of sectoral systems of innovation allowing to assess the dominant competitiveness strategy pursued by industries and shed light on their different distributive outcomes.

This thesis contains four independent essays in heterogeneous agent macroeconomics. They explore the sources of income inequality and income risk and study the optimal design of public redistribution and insurance. The first chapter, joint with Filip Rozsypal, studies the origins of idiosyncratic earnings risk in frictional labor markets, with a particular focus on the role of firms for worker earnings risk. First, using administrative matched employer-employee data from Denmark, we document key properties of the worker earnings growth distribution, the firm revenue growth distribution, and their joint distribution. The worker earnings and firm revenue growth distributions exhibit strong deviations from normality, in particular excess kurtosis, with many workers and firms experiencing very small changes to their earnings/revenues, but a significant minority experiencing very large changes. Large earnings losses are more likely for workers in firms with negative revenue growth, driven both by separations to unemployment and earnings losses on the job. Second, we develop a model framework consistent with the data, with four key features: i) frictional labor markets and on the job search to capture unemployment risk and wage growth through a job ladder, ii) multi-worker firms to capture gross and net worker flows, iii) risk averse workers such that earnings risk matters, and iv) contracting with two-sided limited commitment because earnings of job stayers are changing infrequently in the data. Third, we use the model to explore policies designed to mitigate earnings fluctuations. The second chapter, joint with Annika Bacher and Lukas Nord, studies one particular private insurance margin against individual income risk only available to couples, which is the so called added worker effect. Specifically, we study how this intra-household insurance against individual job loss through increased spousal labor market participation varies over the life cycle. We show in U.S. data that the added worker effect is much stronger for young than for old households. A stochastic life cycle model of two-member households with job search in a frictional labor market is capable of replicating this finding. The model suggests that a lower added worker effect for the old is driven primarily by better insurance through asset holdings. Human capital differences between employed young and old contribute to the difference but are quantitatively less important, while differences in job arrival rates play a limited role. In the third chapter, joint with Axelle Ferriere, Gaston Navarro, and Oliko Vardishvili, we study optimal redistribution, taking into account not just the large income and wealth inequality in the data, but also the distribution of income risk that is key in the first two chapters. The U.S. fiscal system redistributes through a rich set of taxes and transfers, the latter accounting for a large part of the income of the poor. Motivated by this, we study the optimal joint design of transfers and income taxes. Within a simple heterogeneous-household framework, we derive analytical results on the optimal relationship between transfers and tax progressivity. Higher transfers are associated with lower optimal income tax progressivity. Redistribution is achieved with generous transfers while efficiency is preserved via a lower progressivity of income taxes. As such, the optimal tax-and-transfer system features larger progressivity of average than of marginal tax rates. We then quantify the optimal tax-and-transfer system in a rich incomplete-market model with realistic distributions of income, wealth, and income risk. The model features a novel flexible functional form for progressive income taxes and means-tested transfers. Relative to the current U.S. fiscal system, the optimal policy consists of more generous means-tested transfers, which phase-out at a slower rate. These larger transfers are financed with higher tax rates, but the taxes are not more progressive than the current system. The fourth chapter, joint with Axelle Ferriere and Dominik Sachs, also studies optimal redistribution, but instead of considering a stationary environment it analyzes the dynamics of the equity-efficiency trade-off along the growth path. To do so, we incorporate the optimal income taxation problem into a state-of-the-art multi-sector structural change general equilibrium model with non-homothetic preferences. We identify two key opposing forces. First, long-run productivity growth allows households to shift their consumption expenditures away from necessities. This implies a reduction in the dispersion of marginal utilities, and therefore calls for a welfare state that declines along the growth path. Yet, economic growth is also systematically associated with an increase in the skill premium, which raises inequality and the desire to redistribute. We quantitatively analyze these opposing forces for two countries: the U.S. from 1950 to 2010, and China from 1989 to 2009. Optimal redistribution decreases at early stages of development, as the role of non-homotheticities prevails. At later stages of development the rising income inequality dominates and the welfare state should become more generous.

This paper seeks to measure the distributive impact of fiscal interventions in Chile,applyingthe “Commitmentto Equity”(CEQ) methodology,astandardized fiscal incidence analysis.As a method-ological innovation ,we incorporated income accrued and not received by Chilean taxpayers through their companies and corporations into the distribution of pre-fiscal income .We find that the differ-ence between the distribution of accrued and received income turns out to be important,around 6 Gini percentage points for each main concept of income .In addition, when moving from the distri- bution of market income to the distribution of final income (after taxes and transfers)the distribution of income improves by 7 Gini percentage points.To assign the improvement in the distribution of in- come between the different fiscal interventions, we apply the Shapley value and it is observed that half of the improvement in the distribution of income is due to transfers in education, while direct taxes on ly explain 20% of the reduction of the Gini coefficient. Finally,based on the simulation of the impact of the 2014 tax reform carried out by the World Bank, we estimate that the reform would produce an additional reduction of 2.4 Gini percentage points when going from market income to final income.

The paper studies the Swedish income distribution during the 1990’s using panel data set on the county level. County specific effects have been controlled with a fixed effects model. The measures used as indicators of inequality are the Gini-Coefficient and a 90/10 income share quota. The results show that a change in unemployment has a negligible affect on the income distribution. An increased share of college educated people increases the income distribution and an increase in the age groups 30-39 and 50-64 also had the same effect. The age group of 65+ seemed to decrease the difference between the share of income that the poorest and the richest had.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this study was to verify the extent to which income distribution among the population groups in South Africa has changed since the 199! population census. These were the findings: It was established in this study that, at October 1996 the income share of Whites had dropped from 71.2 percent (1970) to 51.9 percent. The White population constitute 12.6 percent of South Africa population in 1996 but they received more than 50 percent of personal income in the country. At October 1996 the per capita income of Whites was 8.8 times that of Africans, 4.5 times that of Coloureds and 2.3 times that of Indians. The study found that income disparities between the population groups have narrowed, but there are a lot left to be done to remove income inequalities in the country. The study found that the income which accrued to each population group was not uniformly distributed within the group. In all population groups, the poorest 40%, and the next 41-70% household income classes suffered losses in household income shares between 1991 and 1996. In all population groups it was the richest 10% households who received the lion's share of income which accrued to the group, between 1991 and 1996. The study further found a shift in African employees from elementary occupations to artisan and machine operators. Between 1995 and 1999 the proportion of Coloureds in elementary jobs declined in favour of artisans, machine operators, managers and professionals. Indians and Whites had the smallest proportion of their workforce engaged in elementary occupations Only 5.4 percent of Africans aged 20 and above were found to possess degrees, diplomas and certificates in 1999, compared to 6.5 percent Coloureds, 14.3 percent Indians, 31.5 percent Whites. As high as 15.5 percent of Africans had not received any formal education at October 1999 compared to 7.9 percent Coloureds, 3.5 percent Indians and 0.3 percent Whites. Unemployment in all population groups has increased since the 1996 South African population census.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die primêre doelwit van hierdie studie was om die verandering in die omvang van die inkomsteverdeling tussen die bevolkingsgroepe sedert die 1991 bevolkingsopname te bevestig. Daar is bevind dat die inkomste aandeel van Blankes vanaf 71.2 persent in 1970 na 51.9 persent in 1996 afgeneem het. Die Blanke bevolking het 12.6 persent van die Suid-Afrikaanse bevolking in 1996 uitgemaak, maar hulle ontvang meer as 50 persent van persoonlike inkomste in die land. In Oktober 1996 was die per capita inkomste van Blankes 8.8 keer meer as dié van Swart Suid-Afrikaners en 6.8 keer meer as dié van Kleurlinge. Die studie het gevind dat inkomsteverskille tussen die bevolkingsgroepe verminder het, maar dat daar nog groot inkomste ongelykhede is. Die studie het verder bevind dat die verdeling van inkomste binne elke bevolkingsgroep ongelyk verdeel is. Tussen 1991 en 1996 het in alle bevolkingsgroepe, die armste 40%, en die volgende 41-70% huishoudelike inkomsteklasse 'n daling in hul aandeel van huishoudelike inkomste ondervind. In alle bevolkingsgroepe was dit die rykste 10% huishoudings wat die grootste aandeel aan inkomste ontvang het tussen 1991 en 1996. Die studie het ook gevind dat daar 'n verskuiwing van swart Suid-Afrikaanse werknemers van elementêre beroepe na ambagsmanne en masjienoperateurs plaasgevind het. Tussen 1995 en 1999 het die verhouding van anderskleuriges in elementêre beroepe afgeneem ten gunste van ambagsmanne, masjienoperateurs, bestuurders en professionele beroepe. Asiate en Blankes het die kleinste verhouding van hulle werksmag in elementêre beroepe gehad. In 1999 was slegs 5.4 persent van swart Suid-Afrikaners, ouderdom 20 en ouer, in besit van grade, diplomas en sertifikate, in vergelyking met 6.5 persent Kleurlinge, 14.3 persent Asiate en 31.5 persent Blankes. Tot en met Oktober 1999 het 15.5 persent van swart Suid-Afrikaners geen formele opleiding ontvang in vergelyking met 7.9% Kleurlinge, 3.5% Asiate en 0.3% Blankes. Werkloosheid het sedert 1996 in alle bevolkingsgroepe toegeneem sedert die 1996 Suid-Afrikaanse bevolkingsopname.

Subject of the thesis is the study of the relationship between income distribution and economic growth. The thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter is a review of the theoretical and empirical literature. In the second chapter an analytical model is proposed. The purpose is to extend the Post-Keynesian model distinguishing the workers in two groups: the qualified ones and the unqualified ones. While the former enjoy an increase in productivity thanks to the accumulation of knowledge and succeed in bargaining higher wages, the latter are not able to benefit from it. The result of the model is that a faster accumulation of knowledge, financed through an increase in the taxation, can generate different effects on the growth and on the inequality within the working class depending on the model parameters relationship. In the third chapter the meaning of income distribution goes from the functional sense to the personal one. The methodology used is Agent-based modelling enriched by compliance with the constraints of the "Stock- Flow consistent" modelling. Peculiarities of the model are its intergenerational nature and the division of the population into three possible social classes: skilled workers, unskilled ones and pure capitalist with the possibility for each individual to move from a class to another during the simulation. Among the other results already known in the literature, main result is a low mobility between generations both considering income level and the social class of belonging. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis shows that greater progressivity of the taxation system generates an increase in the level of production.
