As a result of the regressions, some indicators of economic growth have a positive impact on income distribution and... (More)

As a result of the regressions, some indicators of economic growth have a positive impact on income distribution and several of them has affected positively. And one of the main variables results also controversial. Although, inward FDI played an important role in an increase in income inequality in 7 Asian miracle economies, its effect on income distribution was positive in China and resulted in a decrease in the Gini coefficient which means a decrease in income inequality.
