abstract: 'This paper studies the evolution of income concentration in Japan from
|
||||
|
||||
1886 to 2005 by constructing long-run series of top income shares and
|
||||
|
||||
top wage income shares, using income tax statistics. We find that (i)
|
||||
|
||||
income concentration was extremely high throughout the pre-WWII period
|
||||
|
||||
during which the nation underwent rapid industrialization; (ii) a
|
||||
|
||||
drastic de-concentration of income at the top took place in 1938-1945;
|
||||
|
||||
(iii) income concentration remained low during the rest of the century
|
||||
|
||||
but shows some sign of increase in the last decade; and (iv) top income
|
||||
|
||||
composition in Japan has shifted dramatically from capital income to
|
||||
|
||||
employment income over the course of the twentieth century. We attribute
|
||||
|
||||
the precipitous fall in income concentration during WWII primarily to
|
||||
|
||||
the collapse of capital income due to wartime regulations and inflation.
|
||||
|
||||
We argue that the change in the institutional structure under the
|
||||
|
||||
occupational reforms made the one-time income de-concentration difficult
|
||||
|
||||
to reverse. In contrast to the sharp increase in wage income inequality
|
||||
|
||||
observed in the United States since 1970, the top wage income shares in
|
||||
|
||||
Japan have remained relatively stable over the last thirty years. We
|
||||
|
||||
show that the change in technology or tax policies alone cannot account
|
||||
|
||||
for the comparative experience of Japan and the United States. Instead
|
||||
|
||||
we suggest that institutional factors such as internal labor markets and
|
||||
|
||||
union structure are important determinants of wage income concentration.'
