Abstract

Is economic growth a sufficient condition for reducing poverty or should governments enact policies that fight poverty? As stressed by Kakwani and Son (forthcoming), in the 1950s and 1960s development economists believed in the idea of “trickle-down” which assumes that even if growth is beneficial mainly to the rich, the poor will ultimately also profit from growth, once the wealthy spend their gains.
