Income inequality and economic growth: Panel data in South East Asia

By Nguyen Le Phuong Linh (VNP 20)

Supervisor: Dr. Tran Tien Khai

Abstract

This study has examined the impact of different levels of economic growth toward income inequality, applying the Kuznets reverted U-shape model and the Tribble S-curve model by employing the annual panel dataset from 1990 to 2012 at the country-level in the Southeast Asia. New econometric technique Driscoll and Kraay is handled with the panel regression technique to correct for the autocorellation, heteroskedasticity and cross-section dependence. The analysis finding reveals the significant relationship between income inequality and economic growth. Furthermore, the empirical evidence also provides support for the existence of Kuznets inverted-U as well as inverted S-shaped curve in eight countries in Southeast Asia.
