GUARIN G., Arlen Yahir; CARDENAS M., Jonathan  y  CUARTAS R., Daniel. Kuznets curve: an analysis of panel data for the period 1989-2006. Perf. de Coyunt. Econ. [online]. 2012, n.20, pp.41-55. ISSN 1657-4214.

The paper contrasts the Kuznets inverted U hypothesis between output growth and inequality levels, using data from 40 countries for the period 1989-2006. This is achieved by performing a dynamic panel data estimation, using as an instrument the first lag of the variables. The results validated the hypothesis of the existence of a Kuznets curve for the period and the countries studied.

Palabras clave : Kuznets Curve; inequality; dynamic panel data.
