Evidence using panel stationarity tests, 1870-2011 Author(s) Islam,MR Madsen,JB Journal name Economics letters Volume number 127 Start page 17 End page 19 Total pages 3 Publisher Elsevier Place of publication Amsterdam, The Netherlands Publication date 2015-02 ISSN 0165-1765 Keyword(s) Cross-sectional dependence Inequality Multiple structural breaks Persistence Summary Using data on inequality for 21 OECD countries over the period 1870-2011 this paper tests the Piketty hypothesis that income inequality is likely to grow in the 21st century. It is shown that the null hypothesis of trend stationarity of inequality cannot be rejected at conventional significance levels, suggesting that shocks to income inequality are likely to be temporary.
