Income distribution in macroeconomic models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors look at the distribution of income and wealth and the effects that this has on the macroeconomy, and vice versa, taking stock of results and methods developed in the context of the 1990s revival of growth theory, the authors focus on capital accumulation and long-run growth.

Income Distribution and Demand-Induced Innovations
Reto Foellmi,Josef Zweimüller +1 more
