dc.description.abstractThis review covers a range of measures and methods frequently employed in empiricalanalysis of global income inequality and global income distribution. Different determinantfactors along with quantification of their impacts and empirical results from different casestudies are presented. These results are further contrasted to those obtained based on theWorld Income Inequality Database. A number of issues crucial to the studies of globalincome inequality are addressed. These are the concepts, measurement and decompositionof inequality, the world distribution of income and inequality measured at different levels ofaggregation: global, international and intra-national. We analyse income at each of the threelevels, discuss the benefit and limitations of each approach and present empirical resultsfound in the literature and compare it with those based on the World Income InequalityDatabase. Research on the world income inequality supports increased awareness of theproblem, its measurement and quantification, identification of causal factors and of policymeasures to affect global income inequality.en
