摘要

This Lecture has been concerned with both methodological and substantive issues. On the methodological side, I have suggested that there is a variety of types of evidence about the long-run evolution of the distribution of earnings among individuals. Going back in time typically involves drawing on sources other than household surveys, returning to sources used in the pioneering study of Lydall (1968), and making use of income tax records, as in the recent literature on top incomes stimulated by Piketty (2001, 2003). In using these different sources, I have tried to make explicit the criteria applied when judging the fitness of data for purpose, arguing that data assessment is a responsibility of data users, not just of data compilers. In some cases, data have been rejected (classification C). I have not made use of data on the joint earnings of couples. I have not made use of data on occupational differentials (although this may provide useful background information to the study of individual earnings). In other cases, data are classified as B (acceptable if not ideal), rather than A (most appropriate). Series classified as B include those where the coverage does not allow the whole distribution to be estimated, where interpolation has to be made over wide ranges, or where earnings are tabulated by income, not earnings. To sum up, I have suggested a graded approach to the classification of earnings data. Economists tend to swing between two extreme positions with regard to data quality.
