Why Income Inequality Is Dissatisfying—Perceptions of Social Status and the Inequality-Satisfaction Link in Europe (2019, background): “This conceptual distinction and its theoretical implications are frequently overlooked in the literature, with relative deprivation arguments (also called relative income arguments; see Verme, 2011) used to theoretically back up empirical research (Neckerman and Torche, 2007).”
Individuals, interactions and institutions: How economic inequality affects organizations (2015, background): “Some researchers have argued that economic inequality should be concerned with equality of opportunity to do and be what one wants to, particularly considering the individual heterogeneity in capabilities, needs and preferences (Neckerman and Torche, 2007; Sen, 1997).”
The rich—love them or hate them? Divergent implicit and explicit attitudes toward the wealthy (2017, background): “…the phenomenon of social stratification and how social classes interact with one another in ways that maintain wealth disparities (DiMaggio, 2012; Neckerman & Torche, 2007; Wright & Perrone, 1977), often with the broader goal of understanding how to create more equal societal outcomes (Wright,…”
Income Inequality and Income Segregation1 (2011, background): “…the NSI (Jargowsky 1996) does not satisfy this property and so may confound changes in income inequality with changes in residential sorting by income and may confound differences in income distributions across time, place, and groups with differences in segregation (Neckerman and Torche 2007).”
Unemployment, Inequality, Poverty and Crime: Spatial Distribution Patterns of Criminal Acts in Belgium, 2001–06 (2011, background): “Deprivation theory assumes that high levels of inequality will lead to feelings of aversion, jealousy and anger among groups with low levels of resources (Neckerman and Torche 2007).”
How Firms Shape Income Inequality: Stakeholder Power, Executive Decision Making, and the Structuring of Employment Relationships (2015, background): “There are a number of reviews on the topic (e.g., Katz & Autor, 1999; Levy & Murnane, 1992; McCall & Percheski, 2010; Neckerman & Torche, 2007), so I cover the literature briefly.3 Technological Development Efforts to explain income inequality have been developed primarily within the field…”
The paradox of inequality: income inequality and belief in meritocracy go hand in hand (2019, background): “…concentrated among a small group of citizens, while many have seen their economic position stagnate or fall (Morris and Western, 1999; Neckerman and Torche, 2007; McCall and Percheski, 2010; Atkinson et al., 2011; OECD, 2015).1 Today the top 10% of households take home 25% of all earnings and own…”
Equal opportunity for all? Parental economic resources and children's educational attainment (2009, background): “Existing evidence unequivocally shows that parents’ economic resources, especially income, are major determinants of children’s educational achievement (Haveman and Wolfe 1995; Kane 2004; Neckerman and Torche 2007 ).”
Value Creation, Appropriation, and Distribution: How Firms Contribute to Societal Economic Inequality (2018, background): “It was spurred by the vast research in other disciplines, which had not only identified the numerous social ills arising from high economic inequality but also begun to advocate public policy interventions to reduce inequality (Neckerman & Torche, 2007; Piketty, 2014; Wilkinson & Pickett, 2009).”
Organizations and Societal Economic Inequality: A Review and Way Forward (2020, background): “…to uneven distribution of resources or income (e.g., Diehl et al., 2018; Jiang & Probst, 2017; Packard & Bylund, 2018) and some have also additionally referred to unequal access to resources and opportunities (Bapuji, 2015; Haack & Sieweke, 2018; Mair et al., 2016; Neckerman & Torche, 2007).”
Income inequality and solidarity in Europe (2012, background): “These changes are supposed to affect either the relative sizes of population groups with a lower and higher wage or (household) income – which makes for a ‘compositional’ effect – or the relative earnings received by these groups, and more specifically the high- and the low-skilled, in return for th”
