Changes in Earnings Inequality -- an International Perspective

Peter Gottschalk and Mary Joyce ()

No 66, LIS Working papers from LIS Cross-National Data Center in Luxembourg

Abstract: This paper investigates earnings and wage inequality trends in several LIS countries in the 1980s. It finds a trend toward greater wage inequality in virtually all LIS countries, thus providing some evidence that technological change may explain a larger fraction of earnings and wage inequality than does changing patterns of international trade.
