This pattern is a concern as high levels of inequality can impair the sustainability of growth and macroeconomic stability, thereby also limiting countries’ ability to reach the Sustainable Development Goals. This underscores the importance of understanding how policies aimed at boosting economic growth affect income inequality. Using empirical and modeling techniques, the note confirms that macro-structural policies aimed at raising growth payoffs in low-income developing countries can have important distributional consequences, with the impact dependent on both the design of reforms and on country-specific economic characteristics. While there is no one-size-fits-all recipe, the note explores how governments can address adverse distributional consequences of reforms by designing reform packages to make pro-growth policies also more inclusive.Staff Discussion Notes; Staff Discussion Notes ;No. 2017/001Birth controlDeveloping countriesAggregate Factor Income DistributionimfAgribusinessimfAgricultural economicsimfAgricultural industriesimfAgricultural sectorimfAgriculture: GeneralimfBusiness Taxes and SubsidiesimfEconomic sectorsimfIncome distributionimfIncome inequalityimfIncomeimfMacroeconomicsimfNational accountsimfPublic finance & taxationimfSpendings taximfTaxationimfTaxesimfValue-added taximfDeveloping countriesHondurasimfBirth controlAggregate Factor Income DistributionAgribusinessAgricultural economicsAgricultural industriesAgricultural sectorAgriculture: GeneralBusiness Taxes and SubsidiesEconomic sectorsIncome distributionIncome inequalityIncomeMacroeconomicsNational accountsPublic finance & taxationSpendings taxTaxationTaxesValue-added tax363.96091724Fabrizio Stefania1103907Furceri Davide1157580Garcia-Verdu Rodrigo1770002Li Grace1770003Lizarazo Ruiz Sandra1770004Mendes Tavares Marina1770005Narita Futoshi1770006DcWaIMFBOOK9910162944403321Macro-Structural Policies and Income Inequality in Low-Income Developing Countries4246857UNINA
