Now available as a JPE "just accepted" article: "Income Inequality in the United States: Using Tax Data to Measure Long-Term Trends" by Gerald Auten and David Splinter.
Happy Thanksgiving!. If you're in the US, according to research by Auten and Splinter now accepted for the @JPolEcon, there is something to be thankful for. Their methodology says income inequality in the US has been stable since 1960. My column .
