Posttax-posttransfer income inequality data are for households. GDP per capita and 1th-percentile household incomes are converted to U.S. dollars using purchasing power parities. Employment refers to the share of the working-age population that are employed. Data for inequality of household earnings and incomes and for 1th-percentile household incomes refer to working-age households. For variable descriptions and data sources, see the appendix.

Results in columns 1, 2, and 3 are from regressions using all possible combinations of three or fewer of the independent variables (12 variables, 296 regressions). Variables included in the regressions but not reported here owing to inconsistent signs and lack of absolute t-ratios greater than 1. in at least half of the regressions are: nonworking-age share of the population, change in nonworking-age share of the population, real long-term interest rates, left government, inflation, trade, change in trade, union concentration, institutional coherence, and firm-level economic cooperation. Best models regressions are those with the largest adjusted R-squared. The results in the lower portion of the table are from regressions with income inequality, the variable listed for the particular row of the table (for example, investment), and each of the other eleven control variables (eleven regressions). Aside from income inequality, all levels variables are measured as period averages. Change variables are measured as the average annual rate of change. Minimum and maximum R-squared:.2,.55. N = 15.
