商品描述

This book aims to empirically and theoretically study how income inequality and demographic change affected fiscal policy and subsequent economic growth globally in the past decades from four perspectives. First, it briefly reviews the dynamic changes of income sources that contribute to inequality. Second, it distinguishes between income inequality induced by differences in labor productivity and income inequality induced by differences in capital income. Third, it briefly reviews the dynamic changes of tax composition in the age of demographic change. Last, it discusses the impacts of changes in age structure on the extent of taxes on income relative to expenditure. This book offers a comprehensive discussion to understand and analyze the reason, performance and challenge of fiscal policy and economic growth from the perspective of inequality and demographics.In addition to students, teachers and researchers in the areas of equity, demography, political economy and economic policy, this book is also of great interest to policy makers, planners and non-government agencies who are concerned with understanding and addressing poverty-related and aging-related issues in developed and developing countries.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書旨在從四個角度實證和理論研究收入不平等和人口變遷如何影響全球過去幾十年的財政策略及隨後的經濟增長。首先,簡要回顧了促成不平等的收入來源的動態變化。其次,區分了由勞動生產力差異引起的收入不平等與由資本收入差異引起的收入不平等。第三,簡要回顧了人口變遷時期稅收組成的動態變化。最後,討論了年齡結構變化對於收入稅相對於支出的影響程度。本書提供了全面的討論,以理解和分析從不平等和人口學的角度看財政策略和經濟增長的原因、表現及挑戰。除了對公平、人口學、政治經濟學和經濟政策領域的學生、教師和研究者感興趣外,本書對於關心理解和解決發達國家和發展中國家貧困相關及老齡化相關問題的政策制定者、規劃者和非政府機構也具有重要的參考價值。
