Thesis

Inequality and Long-term economic growth in China

The purpose of my thesis: (1) the effect of wealth inequality and economic growth  (2) the effect of tax redistribution policy on the inequality. 

A brief summary of my research: We apply the heterogenous-agent growth model to simulate the China economy using annual data from 1978 to 2019 due to data availability. Wealth and income inequality are quantified by the share of allocations to the affluent. This research methodology can be readily adapted to other countries.we employ the indirect inference (Id-If) methodology with Wald test to test the fitness between simulated data and actual data based on the VAR-X model.

Key Word: DSGE model, Indirect Inference, VAR
