In this context, our article contributes to examine the link between inequality and economic growth by taking into account the international economic relations of three panels of countries grouped according to their income levels during the period 1990 to 2020. The study used an econometric quantile regression model (Method of moments quantile regression) to examine these variables at different levels of inequality. The estimates for quantiles 0.05 to 0.95 in 135 countries yielded the following findings: The empirical results showed heterogeneous effects of the international economy, economic growth and financial development on inequalities between different quantiles in each country of the three panels (HIC, MIC, LIC).Our findings have several implications and offer valuable insights for policy makers to address inequality based on financial development or/and economic growth or/and international economic variables inequality economic growth international economy quantile regression Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.
