Globalization and Inequality (2008, background): “Population-weighted studies report that income inequality has declined, due to the relatively high weight of China and India, where inequality has sharply declined over the past 20 years (Milanovic, 2005; Sala-i-Martin, 2006).”
Innovation, Poverty and Inequality: Cause, Coincidence, or Co-evolution? (2009, background): “As Milanovic (2005a) reports, the same level of inequality can take different shapes in different countries.”
Economic versus Cultural Differences: Forms of Ethnic Diversity and Public Goods Provision (2010, background): “…political scientists, between-group inequality has been studied by economists interested in decomposing inequality into its different components.4 Milanovic (2005) uses the BGI formula as a proxy for global inequality; his second measure of international inequality calculates a Gini in which…”
The Global Distribution of Income (2014, methodology): “Following Milanovic (2005) and Anand and Segal (2008), we can define four concepts of the global distribution of income and their associated levels of inequality, distinguished by the population unit and the income concept (which may be a measure of consumption expenditure) to which they refer.”
Recent Findings on Trade and Inequality (2010, neutral): “For discussions of trends in inequality across countries - global inequality - the interested reader is referred to Ravallion (2001, 2003), Milanovic (2005), and Sala-i-Martin (2002).”

Recent trends in inequality and poverty in developing countries (2013, methodology): “The dataset has been used in several studies to compute global inequality (Milanovic, 2002, 2005, 2012).”
How three narratives of modernity justify economic inequality (2016, background): “The increased inequality in the US, UK and other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries is well-documented (OECD, 2011; Piketty, 2014), and new data sources reveal it is a global phenomenon (e.g. Milanovic, 2011).”
