| Özet |
| This study examines the Kuznets hypothesis in high and upper-middle-income countries from 1990 to 2018 using panel data analysis. Income inequality dynamics are analysed with two economic development indicators: the Human Development Index (HDI) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. Two models are built to conduct cointegration analysis and estimate long-run coefficients. The Westerlund and Edgerton (2007) test assesses cointegration, while the Augmented Mean Group (AMG) approach estimates long-term coefficients. Findings indicate a pronounced U-shaped relationship in both country groups and suggest that HDI explains income inequality more effectively than GDP per capita. |
