The Role of Fiscal Policy in Affecting Income Inequality
Original language description
The aim of this paper is to discuss the role of fiscal policy in affecting income inequality. Many authors consider its role irreplaceable in this process, but it is really so. Over recent decades income inequality has increased in many advanced and not only European countries. Why, when fiscal policy and its tools - taxation and public expenditure are powerful instruments of public authority which could affect the changes in disposal income and wealth. To demonstrate the trends in income inequality and the impact of fiscal policy in European countries selected from 34 OECD members in the period 2000 - 2013 we use Gini coefficient before and after taxation and transfers. To demonstrate the impact of fiscal policy on different oncome groups we use the sample of V4 plus countries.
