Intergenerational earnings mobility in France : Is France more mobile than the US ? (2005, background): “It is striking that the same broad ranking of countries emerge from international comparisons of inequality (see for instance Gottshalk and Smeeding (2000) and Sastre and Trannoy (2001)).”
Changing Income Inequality in OECD Countries: Updated Results from the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) (2000, methodology): “The choices we and others have made to study longer term trends in income distribution are more fully discussed in Gottschalk and Smeeding (1997, 1999) and Atkinson, Rainwater, and Smeeding (1995).”
“Fair” Inequality? Attitudes toward Pay Differentials: The United States in Comparative Perspective (2006, result): “…column of Table 3 shows that the average perception of earnings inequality in the United States was not very different from that in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or Germany, despite very substantial real differences in earnings inequality in these nations (Gottschalk and Smeeding, 1997, 2000).”

Redistribution Policy and Inequality Reduction in OECD Countries: What Has Changed in Two Decades? (2011, neutral): “…the influence of differences in the treatment of high-income earners in LIS datasets for different countries and years, we follow conventional practice and top-code by limiting maximum (nonequivalised) household incomes to 10 times the median (see LIS website and Gottschalk and Smeeding, 2000).”
Inequality of Opportunities vs. Inequality of Outcomes: Are Western Societies All Alike? (2008, background): “Focusing on developed countries, recent studies (Gottschalk and Smeeding (1997; 2000)) have established important di(cid:27)erences across countries in the level of income inequality, with the USA and Great-Britain being more unequal than most continental European countries, which in turn are more…”
Public Policy, Economic Inequality, and Poverty: The United States in Comparative Perspective (2005, background): “…across OECD nations, largely because those nations with the lowest fractions of low-wage workers have generous income-transfer systems that provide lowincome or unemployed workers with high net disposable incomes (see also Gustafsson and Johansson, 1997; Gottschalk and Smeeding, 1997, 2000).”
