“…11 Both employment indicators that we constructed are amended for the person weight as provided by LIS. Mean earnings are growing wider apart within countries over time (OECD, 2008;2011a;Brandolini and Smeeding, 2008;Immervoll and Richardson, 2011;Caminada et al, 2012 Fuchs-Schündeln et al, 2010).…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractCurrent studies addressing the rise in inequality confine themselves to country-level developments. This paper delineates trends in earnings inequality and employment at the sectoral level for eight LIS countries between 1985-2005. Earnings inequality mainly manifests itself within rather than between sectors. Yet, there is significant variation in the level of inequality across sectors whilst the differences between countries in intrasectoral inequality are much less pronounced. A general rise in intrasectoral earnings dispersion and a shift from the manufacturing industry towards the financial sector are perceptible. Crosssectional pooled time-series analyses indicate significant associations between the exposure to import and decreased employment within sectors, whilst no evidence is found for relations between earnings inequality and international trade or skill-biased technological change.

“…Other studies by Prasad (2008), Okner (1975) and Caminada et al (2012) also noted that the impact of tax policies and transfers on income redistribution are significant. For example, Joumard et al (2012) hinted that in OECD countries, poverty measured after taxes and transfers was 55% lower than before taxes and transfers for the OECD average.…”
