Using two demand and supply diagrams, one for the low-wage labor market and one for the high-wage labor market, explain how information technology can increase income inequality if it is a complement to high-income workers like salespeople and managers, but a substitute for low-come workers like file clerks and telephone receptionists.
Table 15.9 shows the share of income going to each quintile of the income distribution for the United Kingdom in 1979 and 1991. Use this data to calculate what the points on a Lorenz curve would be, and sketch the Lorenz curve. How did inequality in the United Kingdom shift over this time period? How can you see the patterns in the quintiles in the Lorenz curves?

Questions Explain three methods of measuring the income inequality of a nation? 1.kuznet ratio 2. Lorenz curve 3. Gini coefficient As in the case of income distribution, calculation of wealth distribution is done by different entities using different measurements, resulting in a disparity in outcomes. In fact, commonly, wealthis narrowly defined as financial wealth—namely, cash on handand the money value of tangible and nonliquid assets. Even justthe market valuation of financial portfolios is commonly used todefine financial wealth. However, some may extend the definitionto include the value of income streams and insurance rights that,for the most part, cannot be transacted or encumbered. Theseinclude Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. When suchtransfers and public assistance are included, the poor and manyelderly could benefit, reducing the wealth disparity (Galbraith2016). To obtain net wealth, the value of the debts are subtractedsubtracted from the value of the assets.…
3. Comparing Gini coefficients of different countries Aa Aa The following diagram shows the Lorenz curves for three countries. Country X's Lorenz curve is shown in blue, Country Y's Lorenz curve is shown in red, and Country Z's Lorenz curve is shown in green. Region I is the area above Country X's Lorenz curve and below the 45-degree line. Region II is the area below Country X's Lorenz curve and above Country Y's Lorenz curve. Region III is the area below Country Y's Lorenz curve and above Country Z's Lorenz curve. Region IV is the area below Country Z's Lorenz curve. INCOME (Cumulative percent) 100 80 60 40 20 0 The Gini coefficient for Country Z is given by Couny X 20 Country Y Country Z 11 III 60 IV 40 100 HOUSEHOLDS (Cumulative percent) 80 has the highest Gini coefficient.
1. Suppose that the wage distribution for Riverside is given below: Sector Number of Workers Wage $10 (per hour) $5 А 40 B 30 C 30 $5 a. Compute the level of wage inequality for the town using the 90th / 10th percentile ratio and the 90th / 50th and 50th /10th ratios. (Yes, the computation is simple. Don't over-think it.) b. Assume a minimum wage law is passed that doesn't affect the market in the high- wage sector A but boosts wages to $7/hour in sector B, the covered sector, while reducing employment to 20 in that sector. Displaced workers in sector B move into the uncovered sector, C, where wages fall to $4.50 per hour as employment grows to 40. Has wage inequality risen or fallen? Does your answer change depending on the measure of wage inequality you use?
