本文使用日本都道府县的面板数据，分析收入分配对经济增长的影响。在固定效应和广义矩估计中，第三个五分位数的收入份额对五年经济增长率具有积极的统计显著影响。另一方面，基尼系数在固定效应估计中对5年和10年经济增长率都有统计显著的正效应，在广义矩估计中对5年经济增长率有一次负效应。这些结果可以用修正的中间选民理论来解释。
This paper uses Japanese prefectural panel data to analyze how income distribution affects economic growth. In the fixed effects and the GMM estimations, the income share of the third quintile has positive and statistically significant effects on five-year economic growth rates. On the other hand, the Gini indices have positive and statistically significant effects on both of the five-year and ten-year economic growth rates in the fixed effects estimations, and negative effect on the five-year growth rate in the GMM once. These results can be explained with the modified median voter theory.
