We develop a quantitative framework in which income inequality arises endogenously in response to productivity shocks … inequality and welfare up to first- and second order. Inequality arises in equilibrium due to a combination of changes in income …-improving policies can have strong effects on both welfare and inequality, but the impact is both quantitatively and qualitatively …

Mobile workers involve flows of labor and human capital and contribute to a more efficient allocation of resources. However, migration also changes relative wages, alters the distribution of skills and affects equality in the receiving society. The paper suggests that skilled immigration...

This paper analyzes the effect of technical change on income distribution and profitability by comparing the long-run outcomes defined by a uniform profit rate in a multisector linear economy. We study three scenarios with (i) fixed real wage; (ii) fixed profit rate; or (iii) fixed wage-profit...
