Accounting for Inequality in India: Evidence from Household Expenditures
Cain, J. Salcedo; Hasan, Rana; Magsombol, Rhoda; Tandon, Ajay | June 2008
Abstract
J. Salcedo Cain, Rana Hasan, Rhoda Magsombol, and Ajay Tandon examine the
evolution of inequality in India between 1983 and 2004. Inequality levels were
relatively stable between 1983 and 1993, but increased between 1993 and 2004,
a period of relatively fast economic growth. While the increases in inequality have
not precluded reductions in poverty, decompositions of inequality and its change
suggest that for the benefits of economic growth to be spread wider, greater
dynamism in Indian agriculture and manufacturing will be essential.
