  abstract = {{W}e analyse the relationship between income volatility and inequality and the conditional role played by aid and remittances. {U}sing a panel of 142 countries for the period 1973-2012, we confirm a well-established finding among the literature that income volatility has an adverse impact on inequality, and that the poorest people are the most exposed to these fluctuations. {H}owever, while aid and remittances do not seem to have a clear direct impact on inequality, we uncover robust evidence that suggests that aid helps dampen the negative effects of volatility on the distribution of income, while remittances do not.},
