This book provides a comprehensive review of income inequality
issues in the OECD in a cross-country setting. It presents a wealth
of data and analysis on the formation of inequality and identifies
groups of countries that share similar inequality patterns. It also
reviews developments at the extremes of the income distribution,
namely poverty, top incomes as well as the distribution of wealth.
An important contribution of the book is the careful examination of
the determinants of the income distribution, such as globalisation
and technical progress as well as the effect of a wide range of
economic policies that shape the distribution of income. These
include in particular labour market regulations, household taxes
and transfers as well as in-kind public services. It also sheds
light on an under-researched issue: do policies aimed at boosting
economic growth raise or reduce income inequality?
