EXPORTS AND INEQUALITY: EVIDENCE FROM THE BRAZILIAN FRONTIER, 1870–1937
估计了巴西马托格罗索州的人均收入、出口等指标,分析收入、总财富和土地持有三种不平等,发现出口和外资对不平等的贡献远小于依附理论的想象。
In order to examine the relation between exports and inequality, this article first estimates per-capita income, exports, and other indicators of economic development in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Manuscript data are analyzed to measure and interpret three kinds of inequality: of income, of total wealth, and of landholding. The results suggest that exports and foreign ownership contributed far less to inequality than is imagined in dependency theory.
