"Human Development, Income, Inequality, and Democracy"

First of all, we would like to greet you on behalf of the research team and also present the preliminary article entitled: “Human Development, Income, Inequality, and Democracy” prepared by Luis Varona and Jorge R. Gonzales. Our greatest contribution would be to find evidence with annual data for the Peruvian that there is a positive relationship between economic growth and human development. Income distribution and the style of democracy have a statistically significant negative and positive impact on human development, respectively. Second, this work uses an Error Correction Econometric Model (ARDL-ECM) to test the hypotheses, where we can see how the causal relationships behave and whether the model cointegrates, demonstrating a long-term relationship between the variables of the model: the endogenous variable with its exogenous variables. The information on the variables in the index is presented, such as: human development, GDP, Gini, electoral, liberal, participatory, and egalitarian democracy, and Covid19 event, in the file called: "Dataset_human_development".
