This paper re-examines the link between globalization and income inequality. We use data for 140 countries over the … period 1970-2014 and employ an IV approach to deal with the endogeneity of globalization measures. We find that the link … between globalization and income inequality differs across different groups of countries. There is a robust positive …

create a "simulated tax redistribution index", which captures the mechanical impact of the changes in tax policy on the gini … coefficient, but is exogenous to any behavioral response. Analyzing the effect of this redistribution index on inequality, I find … process further, I create a new class of tax redistribution measures, based on the S-Gini, which differentially weight effects …

We introduce a skewness-based approach to measure tax progression and demand for redistribution. We provide a political … redistribution (Meltzer and Richard, 1981) and the Prospect Of Upward Mobility (POUM) mechanism (Benabou and Ok, 2001), as well as … enough that the observed redistribution (or lack thereof) could be consistent with the POUM hypothesis, more recent periods …
