TI  - AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACTS OF FINANCIAL INCLUSION ON INCOME INEQUALITY IN THE FRAGILE FIVE COUNTRIES
AB  - The equitable distribution of income is a very important problem in the economies of the past and present. Inthis sense, this study aims to investigate the relationship between financial inclusion and income inequalityin the fragile five countries (Colombia, Mexico, South Africa, Turkey, Indonesia). For this purpose, acomprehensive index of financial inclusion was constructed for the Fragile Five Countries. A panel dataset from 2005 to 2008 was used for the study. The econometric methods used are Principal ComponentAnalysis (PCA), Parks-Kmenta Estimator and Dumitrescu and Hurlin Panel Granger Causality test. Theresults show that there is a negative relationship between financial inclusion and income inequality. Thereis a statistically significant “inverse-U” shaped relationship between GDP per capita and income inequalityin the fragile five countries. However, there is a statistically significant and negative relationship betweeninternet usage and income inequality. In this regard, the findings of this study imply that fair growth andfinancial inclusion together help to reduce income inequality
