收入分配和社会福利之间的关系进行了实证分析,同时明确允许个人福利功能的相互依赖性。社会福利函数被认为是个人收入福利函数(WFIs)的加性函数。根据荷兰的数据,人们发现,在某些条件下(如收入再分配对生产力没有影响),收入的平等分配是次优的。世界金融机构之间的相互依赖性似乎对关于收入再分配相对于经济增长的可取性的政策结论有明显的影响。
The relationship between income distribution and social welfare is empirically analyzed, while explicitly allowing for the interdependence of individual welfare functions. The social welfare function is taken to be an additive function of individual welfare functions of income (WFIs). On the basis of Dutch data it is found that under certain conditions (such as absence of effects of income redistribution on productivity) an equal distribution of incomes is suboptimal. The interdependence of WFIs appears to have a pronounced effect on policy conclusions concerning the desirability of income redistributionvis-à-viseconomic growth.
