The Employment and Distributional Impacts of Nationwide Minimum Wage Changes
We assess the impact of nationwide minimum wages on employment throughout the whole wage distribution by exploiting geographical variation in the level of wages. We find a substantial increase in wages at the bottom of the wage distribution, while we detect a small, statistically insignificant negative effect on employment. Combining the estimated change in the wage distribution with a tax and benefit microsimulation model, we show that the minim…
Hours of work and the long‐run effects of in‐work transfers
Policymakers have increasingly turned to ‘in‐work transfers’ to boost incomes among poorer workers and strengthen work incentives. One attraction of these is that labour supply elasticities are typically greatest at the extensive margin. Because in‐work transfers are normally subject to earnings‐related phase‐outs, they tend to most strongly incentivize part‐time work, weakening incentives to increase hours beyond that. But if part‐time work gene…
A qualitative investigation of reasoning behind decisions to decline participation in a research intervention: A study-within-a-trial
The current study-within-a-trial explored individuals' decisions to decline participation in research trialling a chronic illness-focused therapy (i.e. multiple sclerosis). This study-within-a-trial extends research on trial recruitment and participation decline; while also suggesting that PPI can be utilised in both a practical and impactful manner
Covid‐19 and Inequalities
This paper brings together evidence from various data sources and the most recent studies to describe what we know so far about the impacts of the COVID‐19 crisis on inequalities across several key domains of life, including employment and ability to earn, family life and health. We show how these new fissures interact with existing inequalities along various key dimensions, including socio‐economic status, education, age, gender, ethnicity and g…

The curious incidence of rent subsidies: Evidence of heterogeneity from administrative data
This paper provides new evidence on the incidence of rent subsidies. We use administrative panel data on subsidy recipients in the UK and exploit a natural experiment in which entitlements were cut for about a million households. In the short-run, about 90% of the incidence of the cuts is found to be on tenants. We also uncover an important dimension of heterogeneity in the balance of incidence between tenants and their landlords. We find that th…
Two Decades of Income Inequality in Britain: The Role of Wages, Household Earnings and Redistribution
We study earnings and income inequality in Britain over the past two decades, including the period of relatively ‘inclusive’ growth from 1997 to 2004, and the Great Recession. We focus on the middle 90%, where trends have contrasted strongly with the ‘new inequality’ at the very top. Household earnings inequality has risen, driven by male earnings—although a ‘catch‐up’ of female earnings did hold down individual earnings inequality and reduce wit…

The long shadow cast by childhood physical and mental problems on adult life
In this article we assess and compare long-term adult socioeconomic status impacts from having experienced psychological and physical health problems in childhood. To do so, we use unique prospective data from the British National Child Development Study, a continuing panel study of a cohort of 17,634 children born in Great Britain during a single week in March 1958. To date there have been nine waves for this birth cohort to monitor their physic…

Art and Socialist Realism: Replies to Marc Schleifer: Art and Society; Help Stamp Out "Aesthetics"; The Future is Late
Sometimes we receive so many responses to an article in MR that we cannot answer them all. This was the case with Marc Schleifer's article "Art and Socialist Realism" in the November, 1963, issue. We print below three of these replies selected to cover most adequately the opinions expressed by readers. Some readers were surprised that we ran an article which, in their view, was non-Marxist. We take this opportunity to point out that articles in M…
