The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Economic Insecurity and Social Stratification (2012, background): “The authors mainly pursue the second hypothesis that growing wage volatility boosted the within-group inequality found in cross-sectional measures of wage dispersion (Gottschalk & Moffitt 1994, 2009; Moffitt & Gottschalk 2002).”
Did Inequality Cause the U.S. Financial Crisis (2014, neutral): “Moffitt and Gottschalk (2002, 2008) extend this analysis to 2004.”
Accounting for the Rise in Consumer Bankruptcies (2010, background): “Gottschalf and Moffitt (2002) argue that the variance of the permanent shock had gone up by about 50% between 1980 and 1996, while the variance of transitory shocks about doubled from 1980 to 1985, then levelled off until about 1992, after which it declined sharply by about 50%.”
Consumption and labor supply with partial insurance: An analytical framework (2014, neutral): “We then use the residuals from these regressions to construct variances and covariances in levels and first-differences for all available age/year cells constructed by grouping observations in any given year into 31 age classes: “age” 27 (25-29), “age” 28 (26-30) and so on until “age” 57 (55-59).”
