Inequality and Fiscal Policy

Benedict Clements, Ruud de Mooij, Sanjeev Gupta, and

Michael Keen

“This collection of articles adds greatly to our understanding of the

link between economic performance and inequality, combining theory, econometrics,

and case studies, and looking at both taxes and expenditures. The questions are investigated

in a huge range of circumstances—both developed and developing countries, at the national

and subnational levels. The IMF recognizes that its policies can have huge distributive

consequences and so this book will be important not only for guiding its own work, but

for scholars and policymakers seeking to further enhance our understanding of the

determinants of inequality and devising policies that might reduce it.”

—Joseph E. Stiglitz, Profess or, Columbia University
