Abstract

The highly skilled-biased technological changes brought by innovation have changed the employment market greatly. This paper presents the impact of changes in labor demand and entrepreneurship on income inequality under innovation in the form of literature overviews and finds out that innovation is positively correlated with the income inequality from two points of view, labor demand and entrepreneurship. Firstly, innovations can change the demand for high skilled and low skilled labor and thereby change the skill premia and wage structure, which would influence the income inequality. Secondly, the rising entrepreneurship allows entrepreneurs to accumulate more wealth due to higher financial returns from innovations as well as higher incentive to save more money. Different from traditional papers which analyze the relationship between innovation and income inequality from one single aspect, this review paper intends to show both the effect of labor demand and entrepreneurship on the income inequality from the perspective of innovations through summarizing the related existing theoretical and empirical research studies. The study also points out the research gaps in the current studies and future research directions about the effect of innovations on the income inequality.
