摘要：Increases in income inequality levels for many developed and developing countries inevitably arise due to the inadequate and inefficient intervention of the public in the economy through taxes, transfer payments and the provision of public goods and services. From the public expenditure perspective, it can be asserted that especially transfer payments to low-income groups play a key role in reducing income inequality. In many studies, it has been concluded that the Gini coefficient, which is the most widely used criterion in analyzing the total income inequality, is the most reactive to transfer expenditures among the public redistribution policies. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between social transfer expenditures and income inequality by including the discrepancies in income levels of the countries. In this framework, 60 countries subject to the analysis have been separated according to the classification of the World Bank and Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality analysis has been implemented to determine the relationship between social transfer expenditures and income inequality in the period of 1996-2018. The findings point that there is a two-way causality relationship between social transfer expenditures and income inequality in high-income countries and high-middle and low-middle income countries. However, this relationship emerges relatively robust in high-income countries.
