DOES LIBERTE` EGALITE ? A SURVEY OF. THE EMPIRICAL LINKS between . democracy AND inequality with . SOME EVIDENCE ON THE TRANSITION. ECONOMIES. Mark Gradstein Ben Gurion University Branko Milanovic The World Bank Abstract. The effect of the distribution of political rights on income inequality has been studied both theoretically and empirically. This paper reviews the existing literature and, in particular, the available EMPIRICAL evidence. Our reading of the literature suggests that formal exclusion from the political process through restrictions on the voting franchise appears to have caused a high degree of economic inequality , and democratization in the form of franchise expansion especially for women, has more often than not led to an expansion in redistribu- tion, at least in the small sample of episodes studied. In a less pronounced way, albeit more emphatically compared to the ambiguous results of the earlier research, the recent evidence indicates an inverse relationship between other measures of democracy , based on civil liberties and political rights, and inequal- ity.
