Abstract: The author looks at the trends in the growth of inequality in developing countries using longitudinal data to assess the impact of internal natural resource dependency, nation-state institutions, and indigenous population dynamics on local wealth distributions. Being resource-dependent and having democratic governance were positively associated with increasing inequality, with population growth rates being the most significant factor affecting income inequality.
