ECONOMIC GROWTH AND ECONOMIC INEQUALITY IN VISEGRÁD COUNTRIES: EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
Abstract
Budući da ekonomska nejednakost trenutno predstavlja sve izraženiji problem, veoma je značajno ispitivanje njene povezanosti sa dinamikom privrednog rasta. Primena ekonometrijske metodologije u modeliranju zavisnosti između privrednog rasta i ekonomske nejednakosti postaje sve rasprostranjenija. U ovom radu se ispituje uticaj privrednog rasta na kretanje ekonomske nejednakosti u zemljama Višegradske grupe u periodu od 2005. do 2015. godine, primenom ekonometrijske metodologije u oblasti analize regresionih panel modela. Rezultati pokazuju da privredni rast nije generator smanjenja ekonomske nejednakosti. Preciznije, povećanje privrednog rasta za 1% dovodi do rasta GINI koeficijenta za 0,19%. U kontekstu smanjenja ekonomske nejednakosti, nosioci ekonomske politike bi trebalo da posebnu pažnju posvete sociodemografskim faktorima nejednakosti, kao i poreskoj (redistributivnoj) politici.
