The structure of the earnings distribution: how are households and individuals related?
Article Abstract:
The relationship of individual earnings distributions with household earnings distributions is studied by analyzing data taken from the UK in 1991. The data revealed a high degree of complexity in the household earnings distribution's structure. The earners' heterogeneity and positive 'clustering' within households are responsible for the data's complexity. Results show that clustering has a reduction effect on inequality, but the mean-adjusted individual earnings distribution does not deviate much from the household earnings distribution.

How trade hurt unskilled workers
Article Abstract:
Trade with developing countries results in relative wages of unskilled workers lower than without trade, in a developed country having a small share of unskilled workers. This is in cases where a model's outcome is varied or specialized. This can occur due to falls in relative domestic prices which is evident in shifts of the demand curve against unskilled labor. The study includes autarky and specialized trade, which has become a recurring phenomena.

Wage protection systems, segregation and gender pay inequalities: West Germany, the Netherlands and Great Britain
Article Abstract:
Earnings analysis indicates that an increasing number of gender pay inequalities existed in the Netherlands, West Germany and Great Britain. Evidence suggests that gender pay inequalities are in part caused by gender segregation. The level of discrimination depends upon the geographical location of the female workforce. Pay inequality comparison figures are illustrated.
