Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper explores the relationship between economic growth and income inequality by observing a set of 11 Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries during the period 1994 to 2020. We employ panel cointegration techniques in order to capture the common long-term dynamics of the CEE countries while not imposing equality on the short-run coefficients. Generally, it is found that there exists a monotonically decreasing growth-inequality link, contradicting Kuznets’ theory for emerging economies. However, in the short-run, several heterogeneities are found at the cross-country level, inferring the diffuse pattern of this association: inverted-U-shaped or linear (insignificant).
