Social exclusion, capital accumulation and inequality

Abstract

We construct a four-good, four-factor general equilibrium model with trade to show that, under certain conditions, capital accumulation results in: (a) the immiserization of socially excluded groups; (b) an increase in the rate of return on capital; and (c) a decrease in the wage rate of socially excluded groups. Our analysis shows why social exclusion increases inequality.
