Abstract/Index

Economic inequality is a relevant issue under many aspects: growth concerns, policy orientation, social dynamics. The aim of this paper is, first, to establish if there has been a change in wage inequality for Italian employees between 2000 and 2010, and second, to decompose this eventual variation into a wage structure and a composition component. The decomposition method used is the one proposed in Chernozhukov, Fernandez-Val and Melly (2009). We find that inequality remained nearly constant, except when considering the lower end of the distribution: in this case inequality strongly decreased. We also perform the detailed decomposition for the wage structure effect.
