They assess the established measures of wel

Inheriting Wealth in America: Future Boom or Bust?
ISBN: 9780199353958 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Inheritances are often regarded as a societal "evil," enabling great fortunes to be passed from one generation to another, thus exacerbating wealth inequality and reducing wealth mobility. Discussions of inheritances in America bring to mind the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and "trust fund babies"---people who receive enough money through inheritances or gifts that they do not have any need to work during their lifetime. Though these are, of course, extreme outliers, inheritances in America have a reputation for being a way the rich keep getting richer. In Inheriting Wealth in...

Does Education Really Help?: Skill, Work, and Inequality
ISBN: 9780195189964 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book challenges the conventional wisdom that greater schooling and skill improvement leads to higher wages, that income inequality falls with wider access to schooling, and that the Information Technology revolution will re-ignite worker pay. Indeed, the econometric results provide no evidence that the growth of skills or educational attainment has any statistically significant relation to earnings growth or that greater equality in schooling has led to a decline in income inequality. Results also indicate that computer investment is negatively related to earnings gains and positively...
