Finance and inequality: channels and evidence

Article Abstract:

A framework for interpreting studies on financial development and inequality is presented. Studies show that poor access to funding and financial services reflect economic constraints. Inequality, on the other hand, affects the distribution of political influence, and financial regulation is easily captured by established interests. It is concluded that financial reforms will succeed if matched by a buildup in oversight institutions.
