Özet
Bu çalışma, için finansal gelişme ve gelir eşitsizliği arasındaki ilişkiyi 2000-2014 döneminde 52 ülke için araştırmaktadır. Demirgüç-Kunt ve Levine (2001) tarafından yapılan sınıflandırmaya göre 32 ülke finansal olarak az gelişmiş, 20 ülke ise finansal olarak gelişmiş olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlara göre, finansal olarak gelişmemiş ülkelerde Greenwood ve Jovanovic (1990) tarafından ortaya konulan ters-U hipotezi doğrulanırken, finansal olarak gelişmiş ülkelerde ise U-biçimli ilişkiye ulaşılmıştır.
