Income Inequality and Current Account Imbalances

Kumhof, Michael,  Lebarz, Claire,  Ranciere, Romain,  Richter, Alexander , & Throckmorton, Nathaniel.

This paper studies the empirical and theoretical link between increases in income inequality and increases in current account deficits. Cross-sectional econometric evidence shows that higher top income shares, and also financial liberalization, which is a common policy response to increases in income inequality, are associated with substantially larger external deficits.
