Online resources: Summary: This book contributes to the empirical literature on economic and human development from five different perspectives: the first chapter provides a new statistical test for bimodality of densities with an application to income data. The second chapter analyzes the worlds cross-country distribution of income and challenges the so called Twin Peaks-claim. The third chapter focuses on the world income distribution and resulting implications for poverty reduction, pro-poor growth and the evolution of global inequality.

Finally, the fifth chapter investigates whether democracy leads to higher levels of health and educationPPN: PPN: 1778542034Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
