Comparing Inequalities Using Earnings Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
We unify the decomposition methodologies of Juhn, Murphy, and Pierce (1993) and Fields (1999) for differences in inequalities across countries/groups/times using earnings equations. We demonstrate the unified methodology in a study of changes in earnings inequality in America during the late 1990s. JEL codes: D30, J30

متن کاملRandom differential inequalities and comparison principles for nonlinear hybrid random differential equations
In this paper, some basic results concerning strict, nonstrict inequalities, local existence theorem and differential inequalities have been proved for an IVP of first order hybrid random differential equations with the linear perturbation of second type. A comparison theorem is proved and applied to prove the uniqueness of random solution for the considered perturbed random differential eq...
متن کاملImmigrant/Native Labor Market Inequalities: A Portrait of Patterns and Trends in France and the United Kingdom, 1990-2007
