The global
wealth has increased considerably and decreases in income inequality and
poverty have been experienced in the recent years. However, both income
inequality and poverty have still stayed at critical dimensions. This study
investigated the causal interaction among corruption, income inequality, and
poverty in Central and Eastern European Union transition economies during
2005-2016 period by employing panel causality test of Dumistrescu and Hurlin
(2012). The results revealed a one-way causality from poverty to corruption and
also a one-way causality from income inequality to poverty.
