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)差距的消費支出分布特征和不平等。我們發(fā)現(xiàn),盡管各州之間的不平等總體測度相當多樣化,但一旦適當規(guī)范化,消費分布顯示出幾乎相同的統(tǒng)計數據。就社會學和經濟因素的變化而言,這一特征被視為穩(wěn)健的。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驗發(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和增長之間建立正相關關系。
