Abstract(s)
É factual que a desigualdade na distribuição dos rendimentos tem aumentado nos países desenvolvidos nas últimas décadas, em particular após a crise financeira internacional de 2007 e a subsequente recessão. Os países europeus acompanharam esta tendência, nomeadamente os Estados Membros da Zona Euro. Qual será, então, a relação entre o Produto Interno Bruto per capita (PIBpc) e a desigualdade dos rendimentos na Zona Euro, a partir do início da crise financeira? Ou de outro modo, qual a forma da curva de Kuznets, na Zona Euro, no período a seguir ao início da crise financeira?Para responder a esta pergunta, o presente trabalho final de mestrado (TFM) estimou uma curva de Kuznets para os Estados-membros da Zona Euro no período de 2007-2012. Contrariamente ao formato em U invertido da curva de Kuznets normal, o resultado obtido foi uma curva de Kuznets em U. No período analisado, a desigualdade dos rendimentos nos Estados membros da Zona Euro aumentou com o PIBpc.
It is factual that inequality in income distribution has increased in developed countries in the last decades, particularly after the 2007 international financial crisis and the subsequent recession. The European countries followed this trend, namely the Member States of the Eurozone. What is, then, the relationship between GDP per capita and income inequality in the Eurozone, from the beginning of the financial crisis? Or otherwise, what is the shape of the Kuznets curve in the Eurozone for the period after the beginning financial crisis until nowadays? To answer this question, this research paper estimated a Kuznets curve for the Member States of the Eurozone in the period 2007-2012. Contrary to the inverted U shape normal Kuznets curve, the obtained result was a U-shaped Kuznets curve. In the period under analysis, income inequality increased with GDP per capita in the Euroz Zone Member States.
