Does globalization drive long-run inequality within OECD countries? A guide to policy making

We analyse around four decades of annual time-series data revisiting the long-run relationship between globalization and income inequality for 24 OECD member countries across different geographical regions, applying the Yamamoto-Kurozumi multivariate vector autoregression (VAR) framework. We observe that rapid globalization is not the key cause of rising long-run intra country inequality. This result is obtained by controlling for growth, terms of trade, minimum wage legislation, and unionization and found robust by further controlling education. Most of the countries in our study with a long-run relationship reveal the robust reverse causal impact of rising globalization on reducing inequality. Our impulse response breakdown across various sub-components of globalization suggests that economic globalization is not a primary contributor to long-run inequality for developed industrialized countries. Our framework guides future research to concentrate more on country-specific relationships, with policy guidance tailored for each country based on their level of economic development and institutional quality.

世界经济一体化与通货紧缩效应

20世纪90年代以来,全球出现了经济一体化潮流,这股潮流在推动经济进步和社会发展的同时,也相应带来了负效应。文章以马克思主义经济理论为指导,借鉴西方经济学理论与方法,分析了世界经济一体化与通货紧缩之间的因果关系,并指出在世界经济一体化趋势下,传统反危机措施的作用在弱化和失灵。在这样的情势下,如何既顺应潮流,同时又规避掉其负效应,作者提出了对策。
