Government Revenue and Expenditure Impact on U.S. Income Inequality vs Europe and Asia

This paper examines income inequality in the United States compared to Europe and Asia using a comparative economic model that incorporates real GDP, government expenditure, population growth, and trade openness as a percentage of GDP. By analyzing how these macroeconomic factors relate to income outcomes across countries, the study aims to highlight structural and policy-related differences that may help explain observed disparities in income inequality between the two economies. The model provides a framework for understanding how economic growth, public spending priorities, demographic trends, and integration into global trade can influence income distribution. The findings contribute to a broader discussion of how national economic conditions and policy environments shape labor market outcomes in advanced economies.

Abstract

This paper examines income inequality in the United States compared to Europe and Asia using a comparative economic model that incorporates real GDP, government expenditure, population growth, and trade openness as a percentage of GDP. By analyzing how these macroeconomic factors relate to income outcomes across countries, the study aims to highlight structural and policy-related differences that may help explain observed disparities in income inequality between the two economies. The model provides a framework for understanding how economic growth, public spending priorities, demographic trends, and integration into global trade can influence income distribution. The findings contribute to a broader discussion of how national economic conditions and policy environments shape labor market outcomes in advanced economies.
