Abstract

This review offers a comprehensive perspective on income inequality literature in Central–Eastern European (CEE) nations, with a specific focus on six countries: Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, and Slovakia. By thoroughly examining existing research, this review uncovers the underlying factors and root causes contributing to varying income inequality levels and trends across CEE countries. The investigation is conducted through a systematic literature review and network analysis, focusing on the literature published since 1990, mainly on recent studies. The review is structured around three thematic frameworks (concept and measures, evidence, and causes). These three strands of the literature review not only offer a comprehensive picture of income inequality in CEE countries but also identify critical research gaps for further studies. The review underscores several critical areas for improvement within CEE studies. These include addressing gaps in geographical and temporal coverage, utilizing alternative measurements of income inequality, and investigating the causes of diverging trends in income inequality among CEE countries. Moreover, there is a pressing need to expand the understanding of the determinants influencing income inequality in these nations, which presents a significant opportunity for future research.

中东欧国家收入不平等问题系统文献综述
这篇综述从一个全面的视角探讨了中东欧(CEE)国家的收入不平等问题,重点关注六个国家:保加利亚、罗马尼亚、波兰、匈牙利、捷克和斯洛伐克。通过深入研究现有研究,本综述揭示了造成中东欧国家不同收入不平等水平和趋势的潜在因素和根本原因。调查通过系统的文献综述和网络分析进行,重点关注 1990 年以来发表的文献,主要是近期的研究。文献综述围绕三个主题框架(概念和措施、证据和原因)展开。文献综述的这三个方面不仅提供了中欧和东欧国家收入不平等的全面情况,而且还确定了有待于进一步研究的关键研究缺口。审查强调了中欧和东欧研究中需要改进的几个关键领域。这些领域包括解决地域和时间覆盖方面的差距、利用其他收入不平等衡量方法以及调查中欧和东欧国家收入不平等趋势差异的原因。此外,迫切需要扩大对影响这些国家收入不平等的决定因素的了解,这为今后的研究提供了重要机会。

期刊介绍: Comparative Economic Studies is a journal of the Association for Comparative Economic Studies (ACES). It aims to publish papers that address several objectives: that provide original political economy analysis from a comparative perspective, that are an accessible source for state-of-the-art comparative economics thinking, that encourage cross-fertilization of ideas, that debate directions for future research in comparative economics, and that can provide materials and insights that are relevant for teaching, public policy debate and the media. Comparative Economic Studies welcome both submissions that are explicitly comparative and case studies of single countries or regions. The journal is interested in papers that investigate how economic systems respond to economic transitions, crises and to structural change, brought about by globalization, demographics, institutions, technology, politics, and the environment. While maintaining its position as an important outlet for work on Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union, the scope of Comparative Economic Studies encompasses other areas as well (European Union, Asia, Latin America, and Africa).
