reconciled and combined data provide more comparable estimates of UK-US inequality trends than the top incomes literature to date. …Estimates of UK income inequality trends differ substantially according to whether estimates are based on household … survey data (used for official statistics) or tax return data (used in the top incomes literature).

I focus on one of the most-commonly-cited 'facts'; about UK income inequality - that it has changed little over the … last 30 years - and reflect on how robust that description is.

Using income … tax record data in combination with survey data is a potential approach to address the problem; we consider here the UK … annually in Households Below Average Income) has been based on household survey data in which the incomes of a small number of …

I determine UK income inequality levels and trends by combining inequality estimates from tax return data (for the … 'rich') and household survey data (for the 'non-rich'), taking advantage of the better coverage of top incomes in tax return … data (which I demonstrate) and creating income variables in the survey data with the same definitions as in the tax data to …
