Abstract

Differential growth rates of both national product and population among countries lead over time to changing patterns of relative affluence and poverty. In this chapter the consequences of these differential growth rates are investigated by examining their implications for the world distribution of income over the period from 1950 to 1975. The results reported here are preliminary to a more comprehensive effort in progress which takes account of intra-country as well as inter-country income inequality.
