Using 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. However, 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. specialized Volatility Inequality Aid Remittances 094 155 1 71-104 2019 1610-2878 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010075195 10.1007/s10290-018-0331-7 1610-2878 [F B010075195] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010075195 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2019/02/010075195.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2019-03-06 2025-02-24 fdi:010075195 fre
