Inequality and economic growth

该项目旨在找出推动不平等的因素。皮凯蒂颇具影响力的著作《21世纪的资本》激发了对不平等的研究，以解决公众对不平等及其副作用(如增长放缓)日益增长的担忧。Piketty提出了三个定律来解释和预测随时间推移的不平等路径，但这些定律没有经验证据或理论基础。这个项目将研究皮凯蒂定律，并调查形成不平等的因素及其与增长的关系。这一知识应该使澳大利亚政府能够减少不平等，有利于经济增长，从而减少不利因素，建立更强大、更具弹性的社区。

This project aims to identify forces driving inequality. Piketty’s influential book, Capital in the 21st Century, stimulated research on inequality to address the increased public concern about inequality and its side-effects such as reduced growth. Piketty proposes three laws that explain and predict inequality paths over time, but there is no empirical evidence or theoretical foundations for these laws. This project will examine Piketty’s laws and investigate factors that shape inequality and its relation to growth. This knowledge should enable Australian governments to reduce inequality and benefit economic growth, thereby reducing disadvantage and building stronger, more resilient communities.
