Education, Globalization, and Income Inequality in Asia
(Asian Development Bank Institute, 2017-05)

However, when more variables are integrated into the model, the consistency of the inverse U-shaped curve becomes weaker.

Equality of What?
(Cambridge: Cambridge University Press., 1979)
Well-being is not just a question of the wealth or pleasure that a person has; it is a question of how people manage to live their lives and the ability they have to do certain things that are important to them. This was the argument put forward by Professor Amartya Sen in 1979.
