Preference for redistribution during structural change with labor mobility frictions

No 69, GRAPE Working Papers from GRAPE Group for Research in Applied Economics

Abstract: Thorough structural change occurs periodically across world economies. In a parsimonious overlapping generation setup with political economy, we present a novel result: structural change not only exacerbates the rise in inequality but also strengthens the preference for redistribution. Labor mobility frictions are instrumental in this mechanism.
