The dynamics of personal income distribution and inequality in the United States
Kitov, Ivan; Kitov, Oleg - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
We model the evolution of age-dependent personal income distribution and inequality as expressed by the Gini ratio. In …) and to compute the Gini ratios. The latter are predicted very accurately - up to 3 decimal places. We show that Gini for … of people with income between 1947 and 1999, the overall Gini reveals a tendency to decline slightly with time. The age …

Permanent Income Inequality: Australia, Britain, Germany, and the United States Compared
Leigh, Andrew - Research School of Economics, College of Business and … - 2009
A common critique of most measures of income inequality, which are based on a single year's income, is that they fail to take account of income mobility. If income fluctuations are large, and individuals can smooth consumption, then high inequality and high mobility may be no worse than low...

The distribution of top incomes in five Anglo-Saxon countries over the twentieth century
Atkinson, Anthony B.; Leigh, Andrew - 2010
Taxation data have been used to create long-run series for the distribution of top incomes in quite a number of countries. Most of these studies have focused on the national experience of individual countries, but we can also learn from cross-country comparisons. Comparative analysis is...

Intergenerational Mobility in Australia
Leigh, Andrew - In: Contributions to Economic Analysis & Policy 7 (2007) 2, pp. 1781-1781
Combining four surveys conducted over a forty year period, I calculate intergenerational earnings elasticities for Australia, using predicted earnings in parents' occupations as a proxy for actual parental earnings. In the most recent survey, the elasticity of sons' wages with respect to...

Modelling the Overall Personal Income Distribution in the USA from 1994 to 2002
Kitov, Ivan - 2006
Numerical modelling of the personal income distribution (PID) in the USA from 1950 to 2003 is accomplished based on a microeconomic model for the personal income evolution. It is shown that the overall PID demonstrates the existence of some fixed hierarchical income distribution structure in the...

Evolution of the Personal Income Distribution in the USA : High Incomes
Kitov, Ivan - 2006
The personal income distribution (PID) above the Pareto threshold is studied and modeled. A microeconomic model is proposed to simulate the PID and its evolution below and above the Pareto income threshold. The model balances processes of income production and dissipation for any person above 15...
