The BHPS net household income definition is modelled on that used in Britain's official personal … income distribution statistics (Households Below Average Income, HBAI). I show that cross-sectional BHPS distributions track …

Although the vast majority of US research on trends in the inequality of family income is based on public-use March … substantially higher levels of inequality and faster growing trends. We show that these apparently inconsistent estimates can … largely be reconciled once one uses internal CPS data (which better captures the top of the income distribution than public …

Using internal and public use March Current Population Survey (CPS) data, we analyze trends in US income inequality … (1975-2004). We find that the upward trend in income inequality prior to 1993 significantly slowed thereafter once we …, we find income inequality trends similar to those derived from unadjusted internal data. Our trend results are generally …
