The NARDL approach was utilized in the analysis for the period 1987-2021. It is found that there is a long-run relationship between the variables.Furthermore, the augmented ARDL procedure confirms the strength and stability of the relationship. Long-run elasticities show that the inequality-enhancing effect of negative shocksin electricity consumption is greater than the equalizing effect of positive shocksin electricity consumption. According to these results, increasing electricity consumption is a useful tool to reduce income inequality.To this end, it must be ensured that the use of and access to electricity is not interruptedeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessIncome InequalityElectricity ConsumptionEnergyNon-Linear ARDLArticle191292315WOS:001221242100001123095310.17153/oguiibf.1316142N/A
