  abstract  = {The contribution of this dissertation is to empirically analyze the link between income distribution, sectoral financial balances, and the current account. Firstly, it examines the relationship between the personal and the functional income distribution which may have rather different implications for aggregate demand and the current account. Secondly, it analyzes the importance of different sectors of the economy for current account balances and tests whether households are able to fully pierce the institutional veils of the corporate and the government sector. Thirdly, it investigates how changes in the personal and the functional income distribution affect the saving and investment decisions of the household and the corporate sector, and hence the current account. Finally, it shows how different growth regimes are linked to different patterns of personal and functional income distribution, and how differences in wage bargaining institutions contribute to explaining these different patterns of income distribution.},
