Abstract
Evidences from nonparametric and semiparametric unbalanced panel data models with fixed effects show that Kuznets’ inverted-U relationship is confirmed when economic development reaches a threshold. The model tests justify semiparametric specification. The integrated net contribution of control variables to inequality reduction is significant.
