Measuring Poverty around the World
The final book from a towering pioneer in the study of poverty and inequality?a critically important examination of poverty around the world In this, his final book, economist Anthony Atkinson, one of the world's great social scientists and a pioneer in the study of poverty and inequality, offers an inspiring analysis of a central question: What is poverty and how much of it is there around the globe? The persistence of poverty?in rich and poor c…
Tony Atkinson and His Legacy
Tony Atkinson and his Legacy
Tony Atkinson is universally celebrated for his outstanding contributions to the measurement and analysis of inequality, but he never saw the study of inequality as a separate branch of economics. He was an economist in the classical sense, rejecting any sub‐field labelling of his interests and expertise, and he made contributions right across economics. His death on 1 January 2017 deprived the world of both an intellectual giant and a deeply com…
A Feasible Unemployment‐Based Shock Absorber for the Euro Area
A bstract Based on theoretical insights, this article identifies the broad characteristics that a shock absorber based on unemployment should have in order to be incentive‐compatible and politically feasible. It then empirically derives the combination of activation thresholds, experience rating, eligibility criteria and benefit generosity which define the systems offering the highest stabilization for given levels of redistribution. The analysis…
Unveiling the Ethics behind Inequality Measurement
This article assesses the importance of Dalton's 1920 paper in the Economic Journal for subsequent developments in income distribution analysis. Dalton, H. (1920). 'The measurement of the inequality of incomes', Economic Journal, vol. 30(119), pp. 348–61
Great Recession and the Distribution of Household Income
"The so-called Great Recession that followed the global financial crisis at the end of 2007 was the largest economic downturn since the 1930s for most rich countries. To what extent were household incomes affected by this event, and how did the effects differ across countries? This is the first cross-national study of the impact of the Great Recession on the distribution of household incomes. Looking at real income levels, poverty rates, and inco…
The Great Recession and the Distribution of Household Income
This is a cross-national study of the impact of the Great Recession (GR) on the distribution of household incomes. Looking at real income levels, poverty rates, and income inequality, the book focuses on the period 2007–9, but also considers longer term impacts. Three contributions are made. First, the book reviews lessons from the past about the relationships between macroeconomic change and the household income distribution. Second, it consider…
The Great Recession and its consequences for household incomes in 21 countries
This chapter reviews the impact of the Great Recession (GR) on household incomes in 21 OECD countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA. It describes the nature of the macroeconomic changes that characterize the GR in these countries, and how these have worked through to household in…
Income Inequality in Richer and OECD Countries
Against Injustice
On Analyzing the World Distribution of Income
Consideration of world inequality should cause reexamination of the key concepts underlying the welfare approach to measuring income inequality and its relation to measuring poverty. This reexamination leads to exploration of a new measure that allows poverty and inequality to be considered in the same framework, incorporates different approaches to measuring inequality, and allows varied expressions of the cost of inequality. Applied to the worl…
Asset‐based measurement of poverty
Poverty is generally defined as income or expenditure insufficiency, but the economic condition of a household also depends on its real and financial asset holdings. This paper investigates measures of poverty that rely on indicators of household net worth. We review and assess two main approaches followed in the literature: income–net worth measures and asset‐poverty. We provide fresh cross‐national evidence based on data from the Luxembourg Wea…

Chapter Fourteen. The Panel-of-Countries Approach to Explaining Income Inequality
The Luxembourg Wealth Study – A cross-country comparable database for household wealth research
Patterns of Economic Inequality in Western Democracies
A large body of research has documented comparative levels of inequality among nations and also the substantial change in inequality across and within nations. Political scientists, sociologists, and economists have used these databases to make a number of claims about changes in inequality and their interrelations with economic and political life, patterns of redistribution, social institutions, and social and individual wellbeing more generally
Promise and Pitfalls in the Use of “Secondary” Data-Sets
This paper examines the role of secondary data-sets in empirical economic research, taking the field of income distribution as a case study. We illustrate problems faced by users of “secondary” statistics, showing how both cross-country comparisons and time-series analysis can depend sensitively on the choice of data. After describing the genealogy of secondary data-sets on income inequality, we consider the main methodological issues and discuss…
