These factors are: Kuznets' hypothesis, rate of economic growth, intersectoral shifts, international trade, government, education and demographic changes. The effects of these factors are analysed under a well structured theoretical framework. Appropriate econometric techniques are used for empirical analysis. With knowledge of the influence of factors such as education or economic growth on income distribution, policy makers can design a better set of development policies. In Chapter 2 a review of selected studies on income inequality is presented. These studies analyse the relationship between income distribution and several factors of the development process. Among those factors reviewed are: economic growth, education and international trade. Chapter 3 contains a discussion of Korea's development experience in which the Korean economy in historical perspective is analysed. Similarly, Korea's development experience is examined and Korea's position in the world economy is discussed. In the last section, trends in Korea's income distribution are analysed. In Chapter 4, the details of the empirical model are given. These include, among other things, conceptual framework of the study, a description of the empirical model, full details of the handling and compilation of data, and techniques used to estimate the parameters of the model. Chapter 5 presents the empirical results. Finally, in Chapter 6 a summary of what has been achieved is provided and some conclusions are mentioned. This Chapter culminates by looking at implications of our findings for policy making and future research. | Publication Type: | Thesis Masters Research | Rights Statement: | Copyright 1996 - Jose Tomas Zurita Cabrales | HERDC Category Description: | T1 Thesis - Masters Degree by Research |
