Income Distribution in the Harris-Todaro Model
1999
Social Science Research Network
This paper uses the Harris-Todaro model of rural-urban migration to explore how inequality is likely to evolve during the course of various kinds of economic development. It is shown that development in agriculture is likely to be reduce inequality. The paper also shows that the Kuznets curve is unlikely to be a general result, and clari¿es the reasons for the observed link between dualism and inequality. (J.E.L.: O15)
