In contrast to other research, lower corruption is associated with higher income inequality. This result is consistent with the idea that the corruption-inequality relationship may be different where there is a large informal sector, as in Latin Amer...

Redistributive effects of transfer programmes in the United Kingdom (2009)
Journal Article
Bhattarai, K., & Whalley, J. (2009). Redistributive effects of transfer programmes in the United Kingdom. Economica, 76(303), 413-431. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1468-0335.2008.00686.x

We discuss the redistribution effects of transfer using a conditional-choice general equilibrium model. We calibrate it to UK data for the early 2000s. Results indicate that a money-metric measure of the welfare value of transfer received by the bott... Read More about Redistributive effects of transfer programmes in the United Kingdom.

A panel data analysis of locational determinants of Chinese and Indian outward foreign direct investment (2009)

The upsurge of Chinese and Indian outward foreign direct investment (FDI) raises an unanswered question about locational determinants of direct investment from the two countries. Using an unbalanced bilateral FDI database, we find that Chinese and In... Read More about A panel data analysis of locational determinants of Chinese and Indian outward foreign direct investment.

Is there a North-South divide in self-employment in England? (2009)
Journal Article
Burke, A. E., Fitzroy, F. R., & Nolan, M. A. (2009). Is there a North-South divide in self-employment in England?. Regional studies, 43(4), 529-544. https://doi.org/10.1080/00343400701827360

Using decomposition analysis, the paper investigates why Northern England has fewer but higher performing self-employed individuals than the South. It is found that the causes are mainly structural differences rather than regional variation in indivi... Read More about Is there a North-South divide in self-employment in England?.

One of the key features of research on income inequality is the search for a Kuznets curve. Two curvilinear relationships in particular have been documented in the literature: one between inequality and income and the other between inequality and env...
