Economic growth, poverty and inequality

Does digitalisation help achieve (selected) socio‐economic SDGs ? Evidence from emerging economies

“…The literature survey also reveals the dominance of economic dimensions in sustainability featuring it as ‘strong sustainability’ for its significant role in maintaining natural and social capital. The interlinkages between growth, poverty and inequality and the (possible) trickle‐down effect of growth on other social agendas of reducing poverty and inequality (for example, Adams, 2004; Bourguignon, 2004, 2019; Dhrifi, 2015; Fosu, 2009; Goudie & Ladd, 1999; Hassan et al, 2015; Marrero & Servén, 2022; Ravallion, 2012), as well as the growing nexus between sustainability and digital technology (discussed earlier), helped us to develop hypotheses and design the empirical methodology.…”

“…The neoclassical growth models and new growth theory (by Paul Romer) strongly assert the significance of technology in promoting growth. Kuznets (1955) registered a pioneer work on income and inequality, and later many research studies (for example, see Goudie & Ladd, 1999; Laursen & Mahajan, 2005; Breen & García‐Peñalosa, 2005; Calderón & Levy‐Yeyati, 2009; Huang et al, 2015; Stiglitz, 2015) concluded that volatility in growth leaves a negative impact on poverty and income inequality (i.e., recessions increase inequality). There exists a body of literature that exhibits a triangular nexus between poverty, inequality, and economic growth (for example, Adams, 2004; Bourguignon, 2004, 2019; Dhrifi, 2015; Fosu, 2009; Goudie & Ladd, 1999; Hassan et al, 2015; Marrero & Servén, 2022; Ravallion, 2012).…”

The technology is deemed important for enduring growth which ripples through various sectors and thus diffuses in an economy, resulting in spillovers (development effects), that is, reducing poverty and inequality.…”

Współzależność nierówności płac ze wzrostem gospodarczym w Polsce

“…Wzrost gospodarczy sprzyja zwiększaniu nierówności. Ze stanowiskiem tym polemizował Bruno (za: Goudie, Ladd, 1999). Niejednoznaczność wpływu wzrostu PKB na nierówności tłumaczył efektami istnienia otwartej gospodarki.…”

Economic Poverty: Does the Break-Up of Families Matter?

“…The economic literature has focused on the relationships between family composition and a range of socioeconomic variables such as child outcomes (Thomson et al 1994;Iacovou 2001;Mackay 2005;Björklund et al 2007;Menaghan 2009;Zill 2009;Åslund and Grönqvistet 2010;LaFave and Thomas 2017;Lee and McLanahan 2015;Chen et al 2019), income inequality (Lerman 1996;Burtless 1999;Jędrzejczak and Pekasiewicz 2020) and poverty. While the economic literature on poverty is extensive with a particular emphasis on economic growth, redistribution and poverty (Kakwani 1993;Sen 1996;Goudie and Ladd 1999;Ferreira et al 2010;Amarante and Brun 2018), the economic analyses on poverty and family composition are not very numerous-unlike sociological ones-and mainly deal with sectoral analyses considering particular countries and type of families. The latter has been the subject of mainly sectoral analyses considering particular countries and households' composition.…”
