A collection of twenty-three studies that explore the latest
developments in the analysis of income and wealth distribution and
mobility. Economic research is increasingly focused on inequality
in the distribution of personal resources and outcomes. One aspect
of inequality is mobility: are individuals locked into their
respective places in this distribution? To what extent do
circumstances change, either over the lifecycle or across
generations? Research not only measures inequality and mobility,
but also analyzes the historical, economic, and social determinants
of these outcomes and the effect of public policies. This volume
explores the latest developments in the analysis of income and
wealth distribution and mobility. The collection of twenty-three
studies is divided into five sections. The first examines observed
patterns of income inequality and shifts in the distribution of
earnings and in other factors that contribute to it. The next
examines wealth inequality, including a substantial discussion of
the difficulties of defining and measuring wealth. The third
section presents new evidence on the intergenerational transmission
of inequality and the mechanisms that underlie it. The next section
considers the impact of various policy interventions that are
directed at reducing inequality. The final section addresses the
challenges of combining household-level data, potentially from
multiple sources such as surveys and administrative records, and
aggregate data to study inequality, and explores ways to make
survey data more comparable with national income accounts data.
