Abstract: We find strong patterns of income inequality comovement in the eurozone over the past 40 years. The acceleration of this comovement largely echoes with the development of the eurozone and the further economic and political integration among its member economies. Comparison between the eurozone and non-eurozone economies suggests that the economic and political integration may contribute to the synchronization of income inequality fluctuations.
