Consumption, Income and Earnings Inequality in Britain

Richard Blundell () and Ben Etheridge

Review of Economic Dynamics, 2010, vol. 13, issue 1, 76-102

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the trends in inequality across income, earnings and consumption in Britain since 1978. It documents the episodic nature of inequality growth over this period largely dominated by the inequality 'boom' in earnings inequality of the 1980s. It builds a consistent picture across these key measures of inequality to provide a coherent link between the microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis of the evolution of inequality.
