abstract: 'Rising income inequality from the mid-1990s to the present was

  characterized by rapid income growth among top earners and new patterns

  of employment and income pooling across families and households.

  Research on economic inequality expanded from a more narrow focus on

  wage inequalities and labor markets to other domains including incentive

  pay, corporate governance, income pooling and family formation, social

  and economic policy, and political institutions. We review and provide a

  critical discussion of recent research in these new domains and suggest

  areas where sociological research may provide new insight into the

  character and causes of contemporary income inequality.'
