The presentation will shed light on how core macroeconomic and structural policies affect growth and income distribution in developing countries and the channels through which growth-equity tradeoffs tend to be generated. It will show that growth-inducing macro-structural policies could worsen income inequality in developing countries with the effect depending on both, the design of policies and country-specific circumstances. However, policy packages can be designed to ameliorate the adverse distributional effects such that reforms can become both, pro-growth and pro-inclusion.
