英文摘要:
We study the distributional features and inequality of consumption expenditure across India, for different states, castes, religion and urban-rural divide. We find that even though the aggregate measures of inequality are fairly diversified across states, the consumption distributions show near identical statistics, once properly normalized. This feature is seen to be robust with respect to variations in sociological and economic factors. We also show that state-wise inequality seems to be positively correlated with growth which is in accord with the traditional idea of Kuznets\' curve. We present a brief model to account for the invariance found empirically and show that better but riskier technology draws can create a positive correlation between inequality and growth.

中文摘要:
我們研究了印度不同州、種姓、宗教和城鄉(xiāng)差距的消費支出的分布特征和不平等性。我們發(fā)現(xiàn),盡管衡量不平等的總體指標在各州之間相當多樣化,但消費分布顯示出幾乎相同的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù),一旦適當規(guī)范化。在社會學和經(jīng)濟因素的變化方面,這一特征被認為是強有力的。我們還發(fā)現(xiàn),國家層面的不平等似乎與增長呈正相關,這符合庫茲涅茨曲線的傳統(tǒng)觀點。我們提出了一個簡單的模型來解釋經(jīng)驗性發(fā)現(xiàn)的不變性,并表明更好但風險更高的技術吸引可以在不平等性和增長之間建立正相關關系。
