  3. 2. Income Inequality and Household Debt : A panel data study of 17 OECD-countries from 1995-2015

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Författare :Niclas Hvalgren; Linnea Englund Davidsson; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Household debt; Income inequality; Reference consumption; Relative income hypothesis of consumption; Panel data analysis; OECD; Advanced economies;

    Sammanfattning : This study explores the relationship between income inequality and household indebtedness using panel data on 17 OECD-countries over the time period 1995-2015. Motivated by relative income theory of consumption and previous empirical research we anticipate a non-monotonic relationship between changes in household debt and income inequality (measured by the Gini- coefficient), as dynamics between different groups of households in the income spread is expected to vary at different levels of inequality.

  5. 4. The Effect of Relative Cohort Size on Fertility: Assessing the Importance of the Easterlin Hypothesis Today

    Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Författare :Milja Norberg; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Easterlin hypothesis; relative income; fertility; Social Sciences; Business and Economics;

    Sammanfattning : Although Easterlin’s hypothesis of relative income has been widely supported by the majority of researchers that have tested it, these researchers have aimed to find a relationship between relative cohort size and fertility in the same time period that Easterlin examined. In this paper I argue that for the Easterlin hypothesis to be supported, it has to hold across nations as well as across time. LÄS MER
