{"product_id":"9789814518536","title":"Income Inequality In Oecd Countries: What Are The Drivers And Policy Options?: What are the Drivers and Policy Options?","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive review of income inequality issues in the OECD in a cross-country setting. It presents a wealth of data and analysis on the formation of inequality and identifies groups of countries that share similar inequality patterns. It also reviews developments at the extremes of the income distribution, namely poverty, top incomes as well as the distribution of wealth. An important contribution of the book is the careful examination of the determinants of the income distribution, such as globalisation and technical progress as well as the effect of a wide range of economic policies that shape the distribution of income. These include in particular labour market regulations, household taxes and transfers as well as in-kind public services. It also sheds light on an under-researched issue: do policies aimed at boosting economic growth raise or reduce income inequality?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErrata(s)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErrata (18 KB)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction \u003ci\u003e(Peter Hoeller and Mauro Pisu)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMapping Income Inequality Across the OECD \u003ci\u003e(Peter Hoeller, Isabelle Joumard, Mauro Pisu, and Debbie Bloch)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Distribution of Labor Income \u003ci\u003e(Isabell Koske, Jean-Marc Fournier and Isabelle Wanner)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncome Redistribution via Taxes and Transfers \u003ci\u003e(Isabelle Joumard, Mauro Pisu and Debbie Bloch)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoverty \u003ci\u003e(Mauro Pisu)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Incomes \u003ci\u003e(Peter Hoeller)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Distribution of Wealth \u003ci\u003e(Kaja Bonesmo Fredriksen)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion: Growth-Enhancing Policies and Inequality \u003ci\u003e(Isabelle Joumard and Isabell Koske)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Graduate students and  academic researchers, financial analysts and experts interested in income inequality, bureaucrats and policy makers working in the finance ministries, especially in OECD countries.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140080845040,"sku":"9789814518536","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814518536_p0.jpg?v=1763691381","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814518536","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
