Earnings mobility, family income and low pay

Article Abstract:

The transitory feature of low pay and the correlation of low income to poverty are analyzed using multinomial logistic regression. The model, which considers British Household Panel Survey data, indicates that low pay is a temporary phase for most workers who move to high paying jobs after only 2 years. About three-fourths of those who remained in low paying jobs are women who are willing to trade high pay for working conveniences such as flexible working hours. This implies that low pay does not necessarily relate to poverty.

How much inequality can we explain? A methodology and an application to the United States

Article Abstract:

The R2-statistic of regression analysis is evaluated based on an income inequality approach using US PSID data. The analysis attempted to quantify the theory that personal characteristics and labor market status conditioned income inequality and its variations. It is shown that such population characteristics exhibited minimal support for inequality. Gender, age and employment factors are instead considered more substantial in explaining income differences.

The distribution of self-employment income in the United kingdom, 1976-1991

Article Abstract:

A model designed to analyze the distribution of self-employment income shows that the progressive increase in income inequality between 1976 and 1991 was due mainly to the increasing heterogeneity of the self-employed. Inequality measured through parameters of the income distribution, however, is not affected by the rise in the number of self-employed.
