In this paper we analyze the effect of within-country income inequality on economic outcomes. We develop a new model of international trade with non-homothetic preferences whereby within-country income distribution affects firm location decisions. In a two-country, three-sector framework with increasing returns to scale and positive trade costs we show that increases in income inequality generates firm movement to countries with more equal income distributions.
