所得不均度與物價膨脹率之門檻效果分析

Thresholds in the inflation-inequality nexus.

指導教授 : 林淑琴

摘要


本研究旨在探討不同經濟發展程度與金融發展程度之下,物價膨脹率對所得不均度的影響;同時也討論在不同經濟發展程度與物價膨脹程度之下,所得不均度對物價膨脹率的影響。利用1960年至2005年包含60國之跨國橫斷面資料,並以門檻迴歸模型進行實證分析,本文發現,物價膨脹率對所得不均度之正向影響,顯著存在於低所得國家與高度金融發展國家中,在低所得國家中,物價膨脹率的提高,會對資產多為貨幣的貧者造成負面衝擊,但對於將資產轉為非貨幣性資產來規避風險的富者影響不大,導致所得不均度擴大;在高度金融發展國家中,金融風險相對提高,導致當物價膨脹率升高時,擴大了市場之不對稱性,進而擴大貧富之間的差距。此外,所得不均度對物價膨脹成長率的影響,則在高所得國家與高物價膨脹國家中具有顯著性。可能是因為通常所得愈高之國家,也為民主程度愈高之國家,著重資本家而必須維持低物價膨脹率,當所得不均度惡化,相對增加的貧窮者會向政府施壓,因此政府採取財政政策對貧窮者進行補貼以提高其所得,使得物價膨脹成長率獲得舒緩;而在高物價膨脹國家中,富有者處於較優勢之地位,向政府遊說以創造貨幣方式來融通對貧窮者的補貼,導致物價膨脹成長率攀升。倘若政府想藉由物價膨脹率來縮小貧富間差距,或是由所得不均度來減緩物價膨脹率,首要的課題在於區別出該國所處之經濟狀態,針對其狀態進行各種不同政策之調整,才能更有效率地達到預期目標。

並列摘要


This paper empirically investigates the threshold effects of inflation on income inequality, also examine the threshold effects of inequality on inflation . Applying to 60 countries during the period of 1960-2005, our threshold regression results show that the low-income and high-financial development countries tend to have greater inequality as inflation increases. the data also reveal that high-income countries appear to have lower inflation as inequality increases, and high-inflation countries seem to have higher inflation rate as inequality worsens. Our analysis thus implies the governments need to consider economic and financial conditions to fight against inequality or inflation.
