    This study aims to analyze the distributional effects of carbon pricing in Brazil. The subject has gained importance with initiatives such as the PMR Brazil Project and RenovaBio, but discussions have been limited to the possible loss of competitiveness of national products. Thus, scenarios built from a computable general equilibrium model were analyzed to assess the impacts of different forms of taxation. The results showed that mechanisms considering taxes without distinction between more or less emitter sectors have little impact on income distribution. In any case, compensation measures are needed to further mitigate the effects on the lower income classes.

    This paper examines the impact of an export market expansion created by the US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) on competition among manufacturing firms in Vietnam's local labor markets. Using a nonparametric production function approach, we measure distortionary wedges between equilibrium marginal revenue products of labor (MRPL) and wages. We find that the median manufacturing firm pays workers 59% of their MRPL. Following the BTA, which significantly reduced US import tariffs for Vietnamese products, firms in industries exposed more to the tariff reductions saw faster employment growth and faster declines in their MRPL-wage wedge. We find that the BTA permanently decreases labor market distortion in manufacturing by 3.4%, and the effect concentrates on domestic private firms with a magnitude of 4.9%. We exploit information on the gender composition to estimate the MRPL-wage wedges separately for men and women. We find that the median distortion is 26% higher for women relative to men, and the decline in distortion for women, amounting to more than 12%, is the driver of the overall reduction in labor market distortion attributable to the BTA. Our theory and empirics suggest that the entry of FDI firms combined with differential aggregate labor supply elasticities explains these results.

    Recent evidence from developing countries shows that the bottom of the income distribution pays more taxes relative to their income than the top 1%, highlighting a lack of tax progressivity in these societies. Current measures of tax progressivity fail to indicate which part of the income distribution explains this. Following the Palma Ratio intuition, this paper introduces the concept of vertical progressivity and a new index, the Progressive Vertical Index (PVI), which assesses the relationship between the tax burdens of the top 1% and the bottom 50% of the population. Using a novel dataset on tax rates in 10 Latin American countries from 2000 to 2020, the paper tests the PVI by comparing the results with the Kakwani index. The PVI is shown to offer an intuitive and transparent instrument for measuring the comparative tax burdens of the richest and poorest groups, thereby indicating that the problem of achieving tax progressivity in developing countries lies in correctly assessing the relationship between the effective tax rates paid by the rich and poor.

    This paper presents estimates of income concentration and inequality for Norway using a new comprehensive measure of income, which identifies business income as it is earned by companies rather than when it is paid out as dividends to owners. We assemble several sources of high quality register data that allow us to account for multiple layers of business ownership across all companies between 2001 and 2018. Compared to official statistics, the new measure implies that the share of income attributable to the top 1% of the distribution more than doubles and the Gini coefficient estimates increase by about 40%. Our new measure identifies substantial tax regressivity for individuals in the top percentile, a feature that cannot be detected by standard income measures. For instance, while the share of gross income paid in taxes by individuals at the 99th percentile is about 36% in 2016, the corresponding share paid by individuals in the top 1% is 19%.

    This paper analyzes the evolution of global interpersonal income inequality in the last decades. While some authors emphasize that global inequality fell significantly between 2000 and 2020 (Milanovic, 2024), others argue that global inequality has remained constant (Chancel & Pikey, 2021) or even increased (Hickel, 2017). This paper contributes to the interpretation of this period by showing that while global inequality did fall between 2000 and 2020, this trend was not the result of a truly global convergence process involving all countries, as it was mainly driven by high growth rates in Asia. Combining data from the World Income Inequality Database (WIID) with population forecasts from the United Nations, an upward trend in global income inequality is projected, even if the economic shocks of COVID-19 and the invasion of Ukraine are not taken into account. The present study shows that a significant share of the Chinese population has reached such high-income levels that further increases in these incomes will contribute to a rise in inequality. Moreover, a further reduction in global inequality will require faster income growth in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, whereas sustained high growth rates in East Asia will contribute to higher inequality. In diesem Beitrag wird die Entwicklung der globalen interpersonellen Einkommensungleichheit in den letzten Jahrzehnten analysiert. Während einige Autoren betonen, dass die globale Ungleichheit zwischen 2000 und 2020 deutlich gesunken ist (Milanovic, 2024), argumentieren andere, dass die globale Ungleichheit konstant geblieben ist (Chancel & Pikey, 2021) oder sogar zugenommen hat (Hickel, 2017). Das vorliegende Papier trägt zur Interpretation dieses Zeitraums bei, indem es zeigt, dass die globale Ungleichheit zwischen 2000 und 2020 zwar gesunken ist, dieser Trend aber nicht das Ergebnis eines wirklich globalen Konvergenzprozesses war, der alle Länder einbezog, da er hauptsächlich durch hohe Wachstumsraten in Asien angetrieben wurde. Kombiniert man die Daten der World Income Inequality Database (WIID) mit den Bevölkerungsprognosen der Vereinten Nationen, so wird ein Aufwärtstrend der globalen Einkommensungleichheit prognostiziert, selbst wenn die wirtschaftlichen Schocks von COVID-19 und die Invasion in der Ukraine nicht berücksichtigt werden. Die vorliegende Studie zeigt, dass ein erheblicher Teil der chinesischen Bevölkerung ein so hohes Einkommensniveau erreicht hat, dass ein weiterer Anstieg dieser Einkommen zu einem Anstieg der Ungleichheit beitragen wird. Darüber hinaus erfordert eine weitere Verringerung der globalen Ungleichheit ein schnelleres Einkommenswachstum in Afrika südlich der Sahara und in Südasien, während anhaltend hohe Wachstumsraten in Ostasien zu einer höheren Ungleichheit beitragen werden.

    Proponents of a basic income (BI) claim that it could bring significant reductions in financial poverty, on top of many other benefits, including greatly reduced administrative complexity and cost. Using microsimulation analysis in a comparative two-country setting, we show that the potential poverty-reducing impact of BI strongly depends on exactly how and where it is implemented. Implementing a BI requires far more choices than advocates seem to realize. The level at which the BI is set matters, but its exact specification matters even more. Which parts of the existing tax-benefit system are maintained, and which parts are abolished, modified or replaced? The impact of a BI, be it a low or a high one, thus strongly depends on the characteristics of the system that it is (partially) replacing or complementing, as well as the socio-economic context in which it is introduced. Some versions of BI could potentially help to reduce poverty but always at a significant cost and with substantial sections of the population incurring significant losses, which matters for political feasibility. A partial basic income complementing existing provisions appears to make more potential sense than a full basic income replacing them. The simplicity of BI, however, tends to be vastly overstated.

    Concerns about widening inequality have increased attention on the topic of equality of opportunities and intergenerational mobility. We use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to analyse how educational and income mobility has evolved in the United States of America. We show that since the 1980s the probability of moving from the bottom to the top of the education and income distribution (upward mobility) has increased. On the other hand, for children whose parents graduated from college, downward educational and income mobility has decreased. High parental income enables parents to insure against intergenerational income falling, generating a correlation between parents' and children's income. We conclude that American society, by increasing the number of university places, has created opportunities for students from low-income families to achieve higher educational attainments, which have pushed them out of the immobility trap. However, society has also developed an elite, which is wealthy and well educated. For those born to this elite, their family's status has a strong impact on their welfare and that of future generations.

    Are excessively concentrated markets inequitable as well as inefficient? We explore this issue by analyzing the degree of market concentration in the industries where Australia's wealthiest made their fortunes. Compared with the economy at large, we find that top wealth holders have tended to make their fortunes in industries with a higher-than-average degree of market concentration. Top wealth shares have grown substantially, and from 1990 to 2020, there appears to have been an increase in the propensity of top wealth holders to make their fortunes in highly concentrated industries.

    This paper analyzes the evolution of global interpersonal income inequality in the last decades. While some authors characterize the period 2000-2020 as an "age of convergence" (Milanovic, 2022), others argue that global inequality has remained constant (Chancel & Piketty, 2021) or even increased (Hickel, 2017). Nevertheless, all datasets used in the literature point to a decline in standard measures of relative inequality, meaning that the difference in narratives stems from the way these data are interpreted. This paper contributes to the interpretation of this period by showing that while global inequality did fall between 2000 and 2020, this trend was not the result of a truly global convergence process involving all countries, as it was mainly driven by high growth rates in Asia. Combining data from the World Income Inequality Database (WIID) with population forecasts from the United Nations, an upward trend in global income inequality is projected for the coming years. The present study shows that a significant share of the Chinese population has reached such high-income levels that further increases in these incomes will contribute to a rise in inequality. Moreover, a further reduction in global inequality will require faster income growth in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, whereas sustained high growth rates in East Asia will contribute to higher inequality.

    Basic income advocates see a universal income grant, no questions asked, as bringing many potential benefits, not in the least as an ironclad protection against poverty, if set high enough. It is hard to know with any certainty what a world with a sizeable basic income would look like but we can make theoretically and empirically informed guesses about its likely first-round impacts. Neither the insights we get from (quasi-)experimental research nor those from (micro-)simulation modelling are very encouraging. The estimated first-round effects on poverty are for the most part disappointing, especially in countries with comparatively well-functioning social protection systems. Aggregate employment is likely to fall, especially affecting women. It requires an enormous leap of faith to assume that the effects further down the road would be miraculously better. Moreover, there seems to be a vast gap between what people think a basic income would bring them and how it would actually impact them. Under any plausible scenario there would be many net losers. In short, there are few sound reasons at this time to argue for replacing the better performing social protection systems currently in place with a basic income, especially if a more adequate social floor is the main concern.

    Are excessively concentrated markets inequitable as well as inefficient? We explore this issue by analyzing the degree of market concentration in the industries where Australia's wealthiest made their fortunes. Compared with the economy at large, we find that top wealth holders have tended to make their fortunes in industries with a higher-than-average degree of market concentration. Top wealth shares have grown substantially, and from 1990 to 2020, there appears to have been an increase in the propensity of top wealth holders to make their fortunes in highly concentrated industries.

    There has not been much progress on the poverty front in Europe over recent decades, at least if we take it as a relative phenomenon in affluent societies. There is a lot of pessimism about the possibility of making any real progress at all. Some argue that adequate poverty relief is simply too expensive or that it would put too much of a redistributive burden on the electorally powerful, making it politically difficult, if not infeasible. Another prominent argument is that wage floors and thus out-of-work benefit levels are inexorably under pressure, making poverty relief both harder to achieve and more expensive in budgetary terms. This paper sets out these accounts and focuses on what has been happening to statutory, absolute and effective wage floors in Europe over the past decades. We ask whether progress on the poverty front through pushing up wage floors and subsequently out-of-work benefits is a realistic prospect. We see reasons for optimism.

    This study provides an introduction to major discussions and core findings on inequalities in Viet Nam, drawing on a review of recent research, consideration of how inequality is discussed in legal documents, and an analysis of inequality using household survey data from Viet Nam. Inequality is widely mentioned in legal documents. As of May 2024, there are 443 legal documents that mention the term 'gap between the poor and the rich' and 2,200 legal documents mentioning the term 'social equity'. The term 'gender equality' is mentioned in 6,744 legal documents. Regarding academic studies, most focus on expenditure and income inequality using household surveys. Using VHLSS data, we measure inequality in different welfare indicators, including consumption expenditure, income, electricity spending, and durable and housing value. Although relative inequality remained stable from 2010 to 2022, absolute inequality, as measured by the absolute Gini coefficient, increased, indicating a widening absolute gap in living standards between the poor and the rich.
