Combining surveys, tax data, and national accounts in a systematic manner gives us access to an entirely new database on inequality in Europe, covering the 1980-2017 period from the bottom of the distribution to the top 0.001%.

Reconciling surveys and tax data with national accounts allows us to go beyond nations and aggregate inequality statistics at the level of Europe as a whole. Rising inequalities in Europe appear to have been mainly driven by dynamics visible at the very top of the income distribution. In the past four decades, the poorest 80% Europeans’ average inc...
While inequalities have increased in Europe, the old continent remains substantially less unequal than the US (Figure 6).

These diverging trajectories have had very t...

European social models, by providing relatively equal access to public education, healthcare and fair jobs, have been more succe...
