Title: Innovation and Income Inequality.
Abstract: The paper articulates and tests the hypothesis that innovation is a major factor in the reduction of income inequalities. 
The relationship between the pace of technological change and the dynamics of income inequalities has been first 
suggested by Kuznets (1955), but found little elaboration and empirical investigation in the subsequent literature.
The evidence of a large data set including advanced countries, such as the US, Canada and the members of the European 
Union, as well as the newly industrializing BRIC members, in the years 1995-2011, confirms the virtuous circle 
between technological change and income inequalities.
