The relationship between inequality and growth is an important and controversial relationship in economic theory. In this paper, besides a short overview of the economic literature, we present selected models used to verify the relationship between growth and inequality. Our findings appear contrary to our expectations and literature, showing a significant positive relation between growth and inequality. Our findings suggest the need for further investigation into this relationship, before policy decisions can be made.
