Abstract

This study makes a comparative analysis on the spread of ownership and capital ownership by associating it with income distribution. The spread of property and capital ownership to the base diversifies the type of income individuals receive from the functional income distribution. When these two elements spread to the base, inequality in the functional income distribution will affect the interpersonal income distribution less, and diversity TThis study makes a comparative analysis on the spread of ownership and capital ownership by associating it with income distribution. The spread of property and capital ownership to the base diversifies the type of income individuals receive from the functional income distribution. When these two elements spread to the base, inequality in the functional income distribution will affect the interpersonal income distribution less, and diversity in individuals’ income will contribute to social peace. The study emphasizes within its scope the distinction between income distribution and wealth distribution and numerically explains the relationship income distribution as a flow variable has with wealth distribution as a stock variable. In order to test the study’s theoretical discourse, it conducts a panel data analysis using the annual frequency data from 15 countries covering the 2003-2018 period. The analysis uses the ratio of market value to revenue from publicly offered shares traded in countries’ stock exchanges to represent the spread of ownership and capital to the base. According to the obtained results, an increase in the ratio of publicly traded stocks improves income distribution; in other words, the GINI coefficient decreases. This result was determined to be more intense in the Turkish economy with the dummy variables that were used. An increase in the consumption rate, which was used as a control variable in the model, results in income distribution deteriorating. The study will fill an important gap in the literature with its conclusions, determinations, and policy recommendations.
