Development goals in an era of demographic change (2015, background): “That in turn affects the ability of countries to sustainably climb the income ladder (Banerjee and Duflo 2003; Forbes 2000; Li and Zou 1998; Marrero and Rodriguez 2012, 2013; van der Weide and Milanovic 2014; Voitchovsky 2005).”
Agglomeration, inequality and economic growth (2014, methodology): “Inequality in different parts of the distribution is associated with different channels and, therefore, it has different implications for growth; top-end inequality fosters growth, while bottom-end inequality retards it (Voitchovsky 2005).”
Redistribution, inequality, and growth: new evidence (2018, background): “…policies may be benign or harmful depending on 1 See for example Perotti (1996), Forbes (2000), Barro (2000), Panizza (2002), Banerjee and Duflo (2003) and Voitchovsky (2005). how extensive they are, and the idea that the growth–inequality relation may itself depend on the extent of inequality.”
Inequality and growth: evidence from panel cointegration (2011, background): “Voitchovsky [39] points out that for the countries in the Luxembourg Income Study, inequality at the top end of the distribution is positively correlated with growth, while inequality at the bottom of the distribution is negatively correlated with subsequent growth.”
Ending Extreme Poverty and Sharing Prosperity: Progress and Policies (2015, background): “That in turn affects the ability of countries to sustainably climb the income ladder (Banerjee and Duflo 2003; Forbes 2000; Li and Zou 1998; Marrero and Rodriguez 2012, 2013; van der Weide and Milanovic 2014; Voitchovsky 2005).”
