At the same time, in addition to the Gini coefficient, the project will also include the shares of lower, middle, and upper income groups from national income as dependent variables in the analysis and investigate the effects of financial development on different income groups. In line with the results obtained from the project, it is aimed to propose solutions to institutions and policy makers and to have an impact with these solution proposals.
