    Insurance, Redistribution, and the Inequality of Lifetime Income

    Individuals vary considerably in how much they earn during their lifetimes. This study examines the role of the tax‐and‐transfer system in mitigating such inequalities, which could otherwise lead to disparities in living standards. Utilizing a life‐cycle model, we determine that the tax‐and‐transfer system offsets 45% of lifetime earnings inequality attributed to differences in productive abilities ...

This missing right tail of the earnings distribution ...
