Cross-National Comparisons of Earnings and Income Inequality
回顾了OECD国家收入与收入不平等跨国比较的证据,总结了若干典型事实,并分析了经济、人口、制度和政策对收入分配的影响,呼吁更多关于家庭收入分配结构模型的实证研究。
This article reviews the evidence on cross-national comparisons of earnings and income inequality in OECD countries. It begins with a series of stylized facts which are then examined and supported by recent studies in the field. Economic, demographic, institutional and policy-related influences on earnings and income distribution are reviewed. The paper concludes with a call for more work on empirically testable structural models of household income distribution.
