Irene Becker and Richard Hauser "Bringing Income Distribution in
From The Cold" was the title Anthony B. Atkinson gave his
Presidential Address to the Royal Economic Society in 1996. This
provocative formulation was intended to draw attention to the way
in which the subject of income distribution long has been
marginalised in the field of economics (Atkinson 1997). In recent
years, however, scientific interest in matters of personal income
distribution has been growing. One reason for this recent concern
stems from the political sphere: The factors of reinforced
competition between countries due to the globalisation of markets
and European integration, high unemployment rates and demographic
changes necessitate reforms of labour markets, tax systems and
social security systems. These reforms will affect both allocation
and distribution, so that reliable information on both areas is
needed to devise balanced political programs. Another reason for
the burgeoning literature on personal income distribution is the
improved availability of data on individual income, which are a
major prerequisite for detailed analyses of distribution topics.
Last but not least, the development of powerful computers, advanced
statistics, econometric packages and extended micro-simulation
models enables researchers both to work with huge individual data
sets to describe and explain the personal distribution of income
and to simulate the effects of political (social and economic)
programs. The volume at hand is based on some of the research
advances in this field during the last decade.
