Earnings dynamics and inequality among men across 14 EU countries, 1994 - 2001 : evidence from ECHP

Sologon, Denisa Maria; O'Donoghue, Cathal - 2009

This paper analyses the dynamic structure of individual earnings across 14 EU countries over the period 1994-2001 using ECHP. Understanding wage mobility and its link with the evolution of cross-sectional earnings inequality is important from a welfare perspective, particularly given the large...
