This paper investigates whether the relationship between income inequality and growth changes over time. Two time periods, covering 1970–1985 and 1985–1999, are analyzed and compared. A statistically significant relationship between inequality and growth in either time period fails to emerge. However, there are indications that effect of inequality on growth may be different in the nineties when compared to the seventies. In the literature, a consistent negative effect of inequality on growth is documented although the significance of the effect is open to debate. This paper also finds a negative effect of income inequality on growth in the seventies but, although statistically insignificant, a consistently positive effect in the nineties.

Research background: The globalization of the European countries within the EU and the Eurozone is primarily economic and is expressed by the free trade and the movement of capital and labour, which determines the incomes and the GDP. Globalization and its impact on inequality is becoming an essential and problematic issue, especially in the context of on-going economic integration processes between the countries in Europe, which seek to converge their economic, social and political systems in the Euro area. The process of inequality has become even more relevant in the context of globalization. Purpose of the article: The paper aims to examine the impact of globalization on the inequality in the developed and the emerging economies in Europe. Methods: On the basis of an econometric assessment, a comparative analysis of the effect of globalization on the inequality in the developed European countries and the emerging countries is carried out. Findings & Value added: The paper analyses the essential aspects and the effects of the income inequality dynamics, both horizontally and vertically. It also addresses the question of whether the effect of globalization on the economic growth and the inequality is the same for the developing and the developed countries, respectively. Based on the research, seven important conclusions are reached.

Some terminological inaccuracies have been identified in the article ?Income inequality in transition economies: a comparative analysis of Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia? by Jelena Zarkovic Rakic, Gorana Krstic, Nermin Oruc and Will Bartlett which appeared in Economic Annals, 2019, LXIV(223): 39-60. https:// doi.org/10.2298/EKA1923039Z. On pp. 43-45 of the article, the term ?market income? should read ?post-tax income? and the term ?tax and benefit? on p. 44- 45 should read ?benefit?. The Legend for Figure 1 on p 44 ?Redistributive effects of social transfers? in place of ?Redistributive effects reducing market inequality?. The Note should read ?? the post-tax Gini coefficient for total equivalised income before social transfers (including pensions) [ilc_di12b] ?in place of ?...the marketgenerated Gini coefficient for total equivalised income?.

This paper analyses the consequences of the economic downturn for employment, earnings and income inequality in Visegrad countries. It draws on both theoretical and practical evidence of the impact of the recession on earnings and income inequality, as presented in its second part. The third part gives an overview of the development of income inequality in Visegrad countries in the period prior to the global recession. The paper proceeds in its fourth part to a comparative analysis of the empirical data on employment, unemployment, income and income inequality in the Visegrad countries. In its sixth part, the paper summarizes key findings.

This paper investigates the relationship between income inequality and different welfare state trajectories that three countries of the former Yugoslavia ?south of the Alps? have taken over the three decades since the breakup of the country in 1990. It is remarkable that three countries emerging from a common (socialist) system have experienced diametrically opposing outcomes regarding inequality. Slovenia has one of the lowest levels of income inequality in Europe, Croatia an average level of inequality, and Serbia one of the highest levels. The paper first examines the extent and nature of income inequality in the three countries before examining the determining causes of inequality, rooted in the evaluation of labour markets, education systems, and tax-benefit systems. It concludes that the divergent transition paths have created the different inequality outcomes observed in the three countries. <br><br><font color="red"><b> This article has been corrected.

Les théories sociologiques sur l'inégalité des revenus nl'ont reposé jusqul'ici que sur un ou deux modèles. Dans cet article nous intégrons et nous vérifions certains aspects de quatre théories de la stratification des revenus. A l'aide de données sur le partage des revenus dans 37 pays nous démontrons que le niveau de démocratic est la variable la plus importante parmi celles reliées à une faible inégalité des revenus. Au surplus, notre analyse confirme le modèle de l'economie mondiale et la théorie d'Andreski, mais elle infirme la théorie du développement économique.
