Tytuł artykułu: Rosnące nierówności dochodu – przyczyny i wpływ na długookresowy wzrost
Cel: Celem artykułu jest określenie kanałów, poprzez które nierówności dochodu wpływają na krótkookresową sytuację gospodarczą oraz wzrost w długim okresie.
Metodyka badań: Artykuł jest wstępem do dalszych badań. Stanowi przegląd istniejącej literatury przedmiotu, co pozwala poddać weryfikacji hipotezę, że nierówności niekorzystnie oddziałują na stopy wzrostu oraz stabilność gospodarki.
Wyniki badań: Przedstawiono mechanizmy, poprzez które nierówności dochodu oddziałują na popyt globalny, produkcję i akumulację kapitału (rzeczowego i ludzkiego), kładąc nacisk na zagrożenia z tym związane, takie jak wzrost zadłużenia prywatnego i publicznego oraz deficyty na rachunkach obrotów bieżących.
Wnioski: Zaproponowano alternatywną strategię wzrostu opartego na płacach (wage-led growth strategy) – polega ona na wzmocnieniu pozycji pracowników w gospodarce, dzięki czemu płace rosną co najmniej w tempie odpowiadającym przyrostom wydajności.
Wkład w rozwój dyscypliny: Koncepcja wzrostu opartego na płacach rzadko dyskutowana jest w literaturze głównego nurtu, zwłaszcza polskojęzycznej.
