Abstract:

The concept of inclusive growth is one of the important issues in

the urban economics literature and has been considered in empirical

studies recently. For this purpose, the main aim of this paper is to

investigate the relationship between income inequality and GDP

growth in Iranian provinces over the period of 2000-2012. To

conduct this study, the econometric model has been estimated by

applying seemingly unrelated regression in panel data for 30 Iranian

provinces.

The empirical findings of this paper shows that the Gini

coefficient as a proxy for income inequality and unemployment rate

have negative and the initial level of Gini coefficient has positive

and significant effect on the growth of GDP respectively.

The overall conclusion of this study suggests that inequality of

Iranian provinces can be decreased by improving employment and

growth of per capita income.
