Abstract:

The debate of economic inequality is long-lived and have in the recent years come to be reignited. Although there is little research that supports fully eradicating wealth inequality, the subject of appropriate levels of inequality is an extensively discussed matter. This paper uses a model based upon the board game Monopoly to discuss the drivers of wealth inequality, and study the effect of introducing georgistic, income and wealth taxation respectively in the game. Using iterated simulations the results yielded display evidence of wealth and georgistic taxation having a noteworthy impact on

Cette thèse de doctorat s’intéresse aux inégalités de patrimoine à travers le prisme de deux marchés : le marché du mariage (chapitre 1) et celui du travail (chapitres 2 et 3). Dans le premier chapitre, nous analysons, Normann Rion et moi, le rôle du mariage et plus particulièrement de l’endogamie financière dans la formation des inégalités fortes de patrimoine constatée aux États-Unis. Nous nous appuyons sur un modèle dynamique de cycle de vie où chaque agent choisit de manière rationnelle son (sa) conjoint(e). Ce modèle prédit qu’une baisse du taux de mariage réduit les inégalités alors qu’u

Abstract:

The paper investigates how including the distribution of wealth changes the demand effects of redistributing functional income. It develops a model with an endogenous wealth distribution and shows that the endogenous rise in wealth inequality resulting from a redistribution towards profits weakens the growth effects of this redistribution. Consequently, a wage-led regime becomes more strongly wage-led. A profit-led regime on the other hand becomes less profit-led and there may even be a regime switch - in this case the short-run profit-led economy becomes wage-led in the long run due to the en

Abstract:

On November 25, 2008, the Federal Reserve initiated what came to be the largest Asset Purchase Program in history1, the Large-Scale Asset Purchase Program, widely known a quantitative easing (QE). When the Federal Reserve in October 29, 2014, announced the end of the program, they held $4.5 trillion worth of assets. This rather unconventional monetary policy came in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and since its implementation, critics have argued that the policy increases inequality in terms of income and wealth. Studies on the impact of QE on income inequality lead to divergent con

Abstract:

This thesis investigates how asset markets affect macroeconomic outcomes and inequality. In the first chapter, I study the contribution of return heterogeneity for wealth inequality. First, I document that wealthier U.S. households earn, on average, higher returns on their wealth: moving from the 20th to the 99th percentile of the wealth distribution raises the average return on wealth from 3.6% to 8.3% a year. Second, I find that considering both earnings and return heterogeneity in a model of household wealth accumulation can fully account for the top 10% wealth share observed in the d

Labour income taxation is a central policy topic because labour income makes up the majority of national income and most taxes are in the end taxes on labour.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to show how the unconventional monetary policy rounds of Quantitative Easing introduced in the United States between 2008 and 2014 have led to an increase in wealth inequality. The need for the thesis arises due to the uncharted nature of QE and because of more and more information is surfacing to light which points to this connection. By analysing the distribution of these funds and adding it to the then base distribution of money supply, this study was able to determine a significant 10 % increase in the Gini Index.

The aim of this thesis is to examine how wealth inequality alters when macroeconomic factors such as housing price index, inflation rate, and minimum wage change.

In the empirical part, we analyze the development of wealth inequality in 21 countries from the European Union from 2004 to 2015.

Thesis advisor: James F. Keenan<br>This dissertation argues that both wealth and poverty function as moral luck to impede the pursuit of virtue and that economic inequality worsens the problem. I begin with a chapter describing the state of economic inequality today, asking whether economic inequality is a problem distinct from poverty. I conclude that it is, for three reasons: inequality causes many social ills traditionally associated with poverty; it self-perpetuates; and—the argument I advance throughout the dissertation—inequality functions as moral luck to harm virtue.

Abstract:

China has been experiencing a great transition from a socialist collective economy to a market economy since 1978. Before the transition started, the Communist Party had established a socialist collective system with very low levels of income and wealth inequality. With the deepening of the rural reform and the development of rural industry, a large number of people were lifted out of poverty. However, as the people's living standards are rising, disparities in income and wealth are also being accentuated.

This paper analyses the process of wealth accumulation with regard to the path dependence theory.

These mechanisms, which are understood as direct and indirect network effects, are formalized using the statistical computing software R. A base model without any mechanisms of wealth accumulation is developed, which makes it possible to include the analyzed mechanisms step by step and observe their effects on the process of wealth accumulation and social

Abstract:

The aim of the study is to answer what governments can do to work against increasing wealth and income inequalities. In a theoretical part I describe how inheritance and income inequality are important driving factors to wealth inequality and the potential role of the government to counteract increasing monetary inequalities. The empirical part narrows the scope to income inequalities and how the governments of Sweden, Germany and the UK have conducted their redistribution policies between the 80’s and the mid 00’s. The most interesting results from the empirical part indicate that income ineq

Abstract:

Based on the political economy of the media perspective, this paper explores the media coverage of wealth and inheritance taxation over the early 21st century (2000 to 2018) based on a large-scale corpus of seven German daily and weekly newspapers. Germany is a useful case study, being one of the most unequal countries in the Eurozone area in terms of wealth inequality. Drawing on text mining methods and corpus linguistics, it shows that wealth and inheritance taxation is a relatively infrequent topic over the entire period, with the exception of a few intense months of increased reporting.

Abstract:

Sociology<br>Ph.D.<br>In the U.S., wealth is unequally distributed across racial and income groups. Scholars have promoted numerous strategies to address inequalities in wealth, but evidence about their effectiveness is limited. This dissertation examines whether community-based organizations can help low-income individuals improve their credit usage and credit scores as part of a strategy to help them build their wealth. Credit histories and scores influence access to affordable loans and other forms of credit as well as employment and housing opportunities, insurance rates, and utility and r

Abstract:

Humans contest for control or ownership. Contest is to a considerable extent inescapable because conceptually a large part of most grammars involve possession and appropriation. Language creates antithesis (‘mine, yours’) that results in conflict. The result of conflict is possession and dispossession, which results in ownership, which is expressed in property and property systems. This dissertation focuses on the exclusionary effect of property systems. Property confers the power to exclude and the aggregate of legal exclusions, which constitutes a property system, objectively or instrumental

Abstract:

Data on the managerial and professional specialty occupations that were specified by the United States Census of the Population for the years 1950 through 1980 were used to analyze the influence of occupational sex ratios, growth rates, and male and female salary levels on the ability of females to move into those occupations. An analysis of the change in the Standardized Occupational Sex Ratio (SSR) showed that, over the thirty year period studied, growth rates became more important than salary levels in influencing movement toward parity in high status occupations. Before the 1980 census ye
