Kuznets Hypothesis in a Panel of StatesDong-Hyeon KimSungshin Women's University; affiliation not provided to SSRN Ho-Chuan Huangaffiliation not provided to SSRN Shu-Chin LinTamkang University - Department of Economics Contemporary Economic Policy, Vol. 29, No. 2, pp. 250-260, 2011 Abstract: This paper uses a new comprehensive cross-state panel for the United States over the 1945-2004 period to reassess the relationship between income inequality and economic development. By employing the pooled mean group estimator of Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (1999), it detects a long-run cointegrating association between inequality and development (as well as its squared term). Moreover, their relationship is better characterized by a U shape rather than the inverted-U profile asserted by Kuznets (1955). The evidence is robust to a variety of sensitivity tests.
