Abstract
This paper aims at investigating the polynomial relationship between income and
income inequality as described by Kuznets (1955, 1963). In order to investigate this relationship, data for 35 European countries are used for the period 1980-2017 and a long-run relationship between these two variables is found, as the initial Kuznets curve hypothesis is. The results indicate, the existence of the Kuznets curve for the countries that the long-run equilibrium relationship does not fail.
