Inequality and economic growth: the role of initial income (2018, positive): “A number of recent papers (Castelló-Climent (2010), Halter et al. (2014), Ostry et al. (2014), and Dabla-Norris et al. (2015) have estimated effects of inequality on GDP per capita using lags as instruments.”
The effects of Labour Market Reforms upon Unemployment and Income Inequalities: an agent based model (2018, positive): “More recently, Ostry et al. (2014) highlight that there is no actual trade-off between equity and efﬁciency: measuring the Gini coefﬁcient before and after taxes and transfers, 4 they ﬁnd that inequality reduction does not hinder growth.”
Inequality, poverty and economic growth (2020, methodology): “Ostry et al. (2014) use newly compiled data by Solt (2009) to find that lower net inequality is correlated with faster and more durable growth.”
Complexity and the Art of Public Policy: Solving Society’s Problems from the Bottom Up (2015, background): “idea that egalitarian redistribution has a negative effect on economic growth is no longer taken for granted, even by the IMF (see Ostry et al. 2014).”
The Aggregate and Distributional Effects of Financial Globalization: Evidence from Macro and Sectoral Data (2018, background): “Fiscal redistribution can also help to mitigate the adverse distributional consequences of financial globalization without exerting much of an effect on economic efficiency unless such redistribution is extreme (Ostry et al. 2014).”
CENTRAL BANK POLICIES AND INCOME AND WEALTH INEQUALITY: A SURVEY (2019, positive): “Although some degree of inequality could promote growth by strengthening incentives to work and invest, recent research suggests that inequality is associated with lower growth in the medium run (Berg and Ostry, 2011; Ostry et al. , 2014).”
Globalization, Inequality, and Redistribution: Theory and Evidence (2017, positive): “This may be due to the fact "that many presumptively redistributive transfers may not be so in particular cases" (Ostry et al. 2014).”
IMF conditionality and development policy space, 1985–2014 (2016, methodology): “In addition, the organization’s Research Department has also published new research as ‘Staff Discussion Notes’ (Dabla-Norris et al. 2013; 2015; Ostry, Berg, and Tsangarides 2014) that often go beyond official IMF line, as expressed in press releases, policy statements, or factsheets.”
DOES GOVERNMENT SPENDING AFFECT INCOME INEQUALITY? A META‐REGRESSION ANALYSIS (2017, neutral): “…(1974), Williams (1984), Alesina and Perotti (1996), Ravallion (1997), Barber (2001), Luttmer (2005), Eibner and William (2005), Veenstra (2005), Subramanian and Kakawi (2006), Clark et al (2008), Gravelle and Sutton (2009), Wilkinson and Pickett (2009), Stiglitz (2013) and Ostry et al (2014).”
Inequality in China – Trends, Drivers and Policy Remedies (2018, background): “This is especially of concern as the recent literature has found that elevated levels of inequality are harmful for the pace and sustainability of growth (e.g., Easterly, 2007; Berg and Ostry, 2011; Berg et al., 2012; Ostry et al., 2014; Ostry et al. 2018; Dabla-Norris et al., 2015).”
