Causal Link between Technological Innovation and Inequality Moderated by Public Spending, Manufacturing, Agricultural Employment, and Export Diversification

Sustainable Development Goal 10 (SDG10) proposes the reduction of inequalities. This research highlights importance considering short- and long-term mechanisms for designing applying policies to reduce income inequality. Specifically, we test causal link between technological innovation inequality using a balanced panel data sample from 73 countries worldwide. The inequality–technological relationship is moderated by public spending, manufacturing, employment in agriculture, export diversification. We use quantile regression techniques impact on results offer robust empirical evidence that most quantiles, positive. result suggests dark side it increases Furthermore, find government spending reduces across all while effect agriculture diversification inconclusive.
