Income inequality in terms of a Gini coefficient: a Kaleckian perspective
从卡莱茨基视角构建理论框架,研究加成率和利率变化如何通过工人议价能力影响基尼系数衡量的收入不平等。
Abstract This study presents a theoretical framework that connects functional income distribution and personal income distribution from the Kaleckian perspective and investigates the effects of changes in mark-up rate and interest rate on income inequality in terms of the Gini coefficient. The results demonstrate that a rise in the mark-up rate with weak bargaining power of workers raises the Gini coefficient irrespective of a profit-led or wage-led demand regime. The analyses also demonstrate that a decline in the interest rate negatively affects the Gini coefficient if and only if the bargaining power of workers is sufficiently strong.
