We study the contribution of supply and demand shocks to income inequality in a panel setting. In particular, we exploit the newly created Global Repository of Income Dynamics to study how unanticipated supply and demand shocks identified using long-run restrictions affect income inequality as measured by Gini. We find that demand shocks originating in the United States, on average, increase income dispersion, which we interpret as the impact of changes to US consumption of foreign goods and services. Supply shocks also tend to increase income dispersion, but have a much weaker and short-lived impact. A comparison with responses to domestic shocks reveals that demand shocks exhibit a similar dynamic. Domestic supply shocks are linked to declines in income dispersion. More Related Content

Introduction
India¡¯s financial sector is on the brink of a digital revolution, with blockchain technology emerging as a key disruptor. Once considered a buzzword linked only to cryptocurrencies, blockchain has now evolved into a powerful tool with real-world applications in banking, finance, and even government services. But what does this mean for India¡¯s economy and its people?
Let¡¯s explore how blockchain is reshaping India¡¯s financial landscape and what the future might hold.Business sentiment stabilized in May, but exporters¡¯ anxiety and labor shorta...

Key points:
? The highest uncertainty in the 3-month perspective was recorded among exporters, 20.7%
? The share of enterprises planning to scale down operations over a 2-year horizon rose to 5%, but 95% do not expect a decline or foresee growth
? Labor shortages remain the main obstacle ¡ª 63% of businesses noted this issue
? The second most common obstacles were safety risks and rising prices
? Power outages remain a relatively minor issue ¡ª only 7% mentioned it
Most key indicators of business sentiment remained stable in May. The Business Activity Recovery Index remained unchanged from April at 0.13. The aggregated indicator of industrial prospects, which reflects short-term expectations, slightly declined to 0.11 from 0.12 in March¨CApril.
These are the findings of the 37th monthly survey conducted by the IER among 474 industrial enterprises.
Uncertainty in the three-month outlook remained unchanged primarily for key production indicators.
¡°However, we recorded the highest level of three-month uncertainty among exporters. Every fifth exporter ¡ª 20.7% ¡ª currently does not know what their export dynamics will be over the next 3¨C4 months,¡± said IER Executive Director Oksana Kuziakiv.
Uncertainty decreased over longer horizons ¡ª 6-month and 2-year periods. Currently, only 28.7% of respondents find it difficult to predict their activities two years in advance. This is the lowest share since at least October 2022, when 42.3% of businesses reported uncertainty.
¡°In May, the share of those planning to reduce their enterprise¡¯s activity over two years increased to 5%. This is still a small number, though higher than April¡¯s 1.4%. Nearly 80% don¡¯t foresee major changes. In fact, 95% of respondents indicate that they will either remain unchanged or experience slight growth. Considering the instability, security, and economic challenges Ukraine faces, this is a very good result,¡± said Oksana Kuziakiv.
The share of enterprises that increased production in May fell from 26.2% to 19.5%, while the share of those that reduced output grew from 10% to 13.5%. The share of businesses planning to increase production in the next 3¨C4 months slightly declined, from 40.8% to 39.9%.
The total share of enterprises operating at full or near-full production capacity slightly increased in May, from 62% to 63%.
¡°In January this year, the share of those operating at over 75% of capacity rose significantly. Since then, it has remained relatively unchanged. For example, in May, 53% of companies were in this category,¡± noted Oksana Kuziakiv.
Expectations for new orders remain cautious: the share of companies with order portfolios longer than a year slightly decreased, from 16% to 15%. On average, the duration of new orders increased from 4.9 to 5 months.
¡°This happened because the share of those with orders for just one to two months declined from 33% to 24%. Likely, these orders were redistributed: some now work ¡®on the fly,¡¯ others shifted into the three-to-five month category,Invoice Factoring Broker Training | Charter Capital

Shivsrushti, a cultural theme park near Pune dedicated to the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has received strong and consistent support from the Abhay Bhutada Foundation.
