This analysis conducted by Professor William Greene at Stern School of Business explores the relationship between income distribution, measured by DALE, GINI coefficient, and per capita GDP (GDPC). Using regression analysis, we find that DALE correlates with GINI and GDPC. The regression equations provide insights into how income inequality (GINI) and economic productivity (GDPC) impact overall economic welfare (DALE). The findings highlight the importance of considering both income distribution and education expenditure in assessing economic performance.
