It is found out that relative inequality has been highest on … 1971, but the changes in relative inequality during period 1976-1990 have been almost negligible. Using a generalised …

The relationship between income inequality and polarization is an empirical fact: a change in equality might occur … together with a change in polarization. At the same time, polarization might emerge while inequality remains constant. The …

Our results suggest that several … circumstances, importantly both parental income and own IQ, are important for long-run income inequality, but that variations in … individual effort account for the most part of that inequality. …
