This paper is the first to compare global trends in income and wealth inequality this century. It is based on large … coefficient, inequality between countries accounts for about two-thirds of global income inequality, but noticeably less - around … one half - of wealth inequality. Broadly similar results are found for different years and different inequality indices …

Skill differentials in wages declined in the 1970's and rose in the 1980's, but aggregate wage inequality grew … throughout the period. This divergence remains a puzzle in recent studies of U.S. wage inequality. In this paper the sometimes … divergent paths of intergroup and intra-group inequality are explained by the human capital approach. …
