abstract: 'During the late 20th century, income inequality rose in most countries
|
|
|
|
around the world, and by a substantial amount in some cases. By
|
|
|
|
contrast, income disparities have stabilized during the post-2000 era,
|
|
|
|
and have even begun to decline in a small majority of states. What
|
|
|
|
accounts for this recent change? Unfortunately, existing work is not
|
|
|
|
well-positioned to address this question. Researchers commonly restrict
|
|
|
|
their attention to affluent nations or use empirical models that have
|
|
|
|
not kept pace with either the changing landscape or the availability of
|
|
|
|
newer measures, all of which suggests a path forward in this area of
|
|
|
|
research. This article focuses on the post-2000 era, drawing from a
|
|
|
|
large global sample (1284 observations across 129 states), while
|
|
|
|
utilizing novel measures that better reflect the contemporary period.
|
|
|
|
The study reports results from Prais-Winsten regression with
|
|
|
|
panel-corrected standard errors and two-way fixed effects. The models
|
|
|
|
show that income inequality is shaped by the major employment sectors
|
|
|
|
(agriculture, industry, and services), the relative supply of
|
|
|
|
unskilled/skilled labor (as indicated by population growth and tertiary
|
|
|
|
school enrollment, respectively), globalization (international trade and
|
|
|
|
migration), state characteristics (the size of government and regulation
|
|
|
|
of labor), gender dynamics (female participation in paid work and
|
|
|
|
government), and the unemployment rate. In sum, the results reveal a set
|
|
|
|
of equalizing and disequalizing factors that shape each country''s income
|
|
|
|
distribution.'
