No 295351, WIDER Working Papers from United Nations University, World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: Contrary to a widespread belief, prior to the transition, income distribution in the former centrally planned economies of Europe varied substantially across countries and over time. Assessment of the degree of income inequality in these nations therefore largely depended on the choice of a specific year and country.
