	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Simon Kuznets
		Kuznets, however, was neither a Keynesian nor an econometrician - he took his cues from Mitchell's Institutionalism - as exemplified in his 1930 methodological pieces.
		Kuznets was also one of the earliest workers on development economics, in particular collecting and analyzing the empirical characteristics of developing countries (1965, 1966, 1971, and 1979).
		Kuznets curve diagrams show an inverted U curve, although variables along the axes are often mixed and matched, with inequality or the Gini coefficent on the Y axis and economic development, time or per capita incomes on the X axis.

	Simon S. Kuznets, April 30, 1901 — July 9, 1985 \| By Robert W. Fogel \| Biographical Memoirs
		Simon S. Kuznets, recipient of the third Nobel Prize in economics, was a pivotal figure in the transformation of economics from a speculative and ideologically driven discipline into an empirically based social science.
		Kuznets probed the links between primary trends, secondary trends, and short-term cyclical fluctuations, considering the correlations between the rapidity of the primary growth rates and the tendency toward both secular and short-term cycles.
		Kuznets pointed out the economic significance of the fact that accelerated population growth was due primarily to a decline in death rates.

	Kuznets curve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Simon Kuznets' (1901 - 1985) theory that inequality increases over time, then at a critical point begins to decrease.
		Kuznets curve diagrams show an inverted U curve, although variables along the axes are often mixed and matched, with inequality or the Gini coefficent on the Y axis and economic development, time or per capita incomes on the X axis.
		Kuznets' conclusion that inequality must increases before decreasing, however, rests on shaky ground, because he used cross-sectional data of many countries during the same time period, rather than time series data that showed the progression of individual countries' development.

	Simon Kuznets
		The Russian-raised Simon Kuznets was a student of W.C. Mitchell's at Columbia and subsequently a researcher at Mitchell's NBER.
		It was no surprise, then, that Kuznets took his master's creed to heart: that the painstaking collection of empirical data was a priority.
		Kuznets work fit hand in glove with two other developments at the time: the emergence of econometrics and the Keynesian Revolution, both of which found in Kuznets's data an important resource for their advancement.

	Simon Kuznets - Wikipédia
		Simon Kuznets (1901 - 1985), économiste et statisticien américain d'origine russe et lauréat du Prix de la Banque de Suède en sciences économiques en mémoire d'Alfred Nobel en 1971.
		Kuznets s'est attaché à l'élaboration d'un appareil statistique en mesure de recueillir, de traiter et d'interpréter une série de grandeurs économiques, c'est-à-dire un système de comptabilité nationale susceptible de fournir des infomations précises sur l'économie dans son ensemble.
		Kuznets propose de retenir deux grands agrégats : d'une part, un produit net obtenu par l'opération « biens finaux produits-biens intermédiaires », et d'autre part il met au point un indicateur de richesse, le « taux de croissance annuel du produit national », permettant de comparer des pays entre eux.

		Simon first got a taste of those facts while studying the data amassed by the economic demographer Simon Kuznets (winner of the 1971 Nobel Prize in economics) and by economist Richard Easterlin, in the mid-1960s.
		Kuznets had followed population growth trends that went back 100 years and compared them against standard of living, while Easterlin analyzed the same data for selected countries since World War II.
		Simon acquired his habit of looking up the facts in early childhood, at the dinner table of the family home in Newark, New Jersey.

	PAPANEK - KYN: Kuznets Curve 2
		The Kuznets hypothesis, which applies to the secular process of development over several decades, has sometimes been cited as evidence that there is conflict between growth and equity.
		Indeed, the decline in the share of the poor was so great, Adelman and Morris [ 2] claimed that their absolute income would fall in the early stages of development.
		The political consequences were sometimes noted as well: worsening income distribution in an environment of rapid development required an authoritarian regime to maintain the pace of development until the reversal of the Kuznets Curve came to the rescue of the poor and of political stability and democracy.
