Are Broad-Based Vouchers an Effective Way to Support Life-Long Learning? Evidence from an Australian Reform
Top incomes and the gender divide
Skilled migrants and labour market integration
Although many OECD countries use skilled migration to boost economic performance, there is surprisingly little direct empirical evidence concerning what effects historical initiatives in this area have had. This study estimates the effects of Australia's recent shift toward a 'hybrid approach' for managing economic migration, which increased the requirements for (supply-driven) independent skilled migrants at the same time that (demand-driven) em…
Occupational Downgrading and Wages of New Member States Immigrants to Ireland
This paper explores the importance of occupational downgrading in explaining the pay gap of New Member States (NMS) immigrants to Ireland by taking advantage of two data sources, the Census and the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC). The study identifies biases in the coverage of NMS immigrants in SILC that dampen their estimated earnings disadvantage. Corrections to population weights are suggested. These adjustments have a significan…
Inequality and Economic Growth
Relative to the empirical literature on this topic, theoretical arguments have a longer history and suggest numerous transmission channels through which inequality may affect aggregate production. Moreover, the alternative channels considered by the theoretical literature tend to imply different influences of inequality on growth. Perhaps unsurprisingly therefore, recent empirical efforts to capture the overall effect of inequality on growth usin…
The Distribution of Top Earnings in the UK since the Second World War
Much of the change in individual earnings has occurred at the top. This paper provides new evidence about the earnings distribution in the UK. The evidence is new in that it provides detail about what has happened within the top 10%, covering groups such as the top 1% and the top 0.5%. The aim is to set the recent rise in top earnings in historical perspective, and to make international comparisons. The evidence is new in that it covers the whole…
