1995年,美国经济学家库兹涅茨在《经济增长和收入不平等》一文中,提出关于收入差别的倒U假设理论。他认为:“收入分配不平等的长期趋势可以假设为:在前工业文明向工业文明过渡的经济增长早期阶段迅速扩大,尔后是短暂的稳定,然后在增长的后期阶段逐渐缩小。”即是说在资本主义私有制经济发展初期,收入分配不平等逐步恶化,一旦经济增长到一定水平之后,分配差距又会缩小。分配的长期趋势类似于一个倒写的U字(或抛物线型)。
In 1995, U.S. economist Kuznets proposed the inverted U hypothesis on income disparity in his article “Economic Growth and Income Inequality.” He argues that “the long-term trend toward inequality in income distribution can be assumed to have rapidly expanded in the early stages of economic growth in the transition from a former industrial civilization to an industrial civilization, then to a temporary stabilization, and then to a gradual decline in later stages of growth.” In the early days of the development of a private-owned capitalist economy, inequality in income distribution was gradually deteriorating. Once economic growth reached a certain level, the distribution gap narrowed. The long-term trend assigned is similar to an inverted U (or parabola).
