Robust Correlates of Growth Spells: Do Inequality and Redistribution Matter?
使用模型平均方法处理模型不确定性，发现较低净不平等与更长增长期相关，但再分配与增长期持续时间无关，且不存在非线性关系。
This article investigates the relationship between inequality, redistribution, and the duration of growth spells in the presence of a rich set of alternative determinants, by explicitly accounting for model uncertainty using model averaging for duration models. We find that lower net inequality is associated with longer growth spells. Redistribution does not appear to be correlated with the duration of growth spells. In addition, there is no evidence of nonlinearities in the inequality–redistribution–growth spell relationship. Finally, lower initial income, higher secondary education, and higher FDI are associated with longer spell duration.
