构建了一个均衡发展模型,研究财富分布、信贷约束与企业家技能分布的相互作用如何驱动经济发展,并解释收入不平等如何呈现库兹涅茨曲线或长期分配周期。

Abstract

We characterize an equilibrium development process driven by the interaction of the distribution of wealth with credit constraints and the distribution of entrepreneurial skills. When efficient entrepreneurs are relatively abundant, a "traditional" development process emerges in which the evolution of macroeconomic variables accord with empirical regularities and income inequality traces out a Kuznets curve. If, instead, efficient entrepreneurs are relatively scarce, the model generates long-run "distributional cycles" driven by the endogenous interaction between credit constraints, entrepreneurial efficiency and equilibrium wages.
