Our results suggest that both types of (endogenized) market-oriented reforms increase income inequality, but the effects are small. Consistent with this finding is that counter-reforms lead to less income inequality. Our results also indicate that the inequality-increasing effect of market-oriented reforms is mostly a result of more income going to the top of the income distribution.181472727engEconomics and EconometricsSDG 10 - Reduced Inequalitiesjournal article10.1093/oep/gpae002https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85199365633
