- W2625670023 abstract "In this article, we offer a revision to the top income share series produced by Piketty and Saez (2003) for the United States, focusing upon the period prior to and including the Second World War. The inequality estimates for these years form the left-side of a century-long U-curve that has achieved widespread acceptance in the literature. However, a number of issues deriving from the limitations of tax data in first half of the 20th century likely distort the magnitude and shape of depicted distributional patterns in this period. By revisiting available source data from the IRS, we supplement the PikettySaez series for 1917-1945 with improved measures of deductible income and correct a number of distortions that arise from data construction issues within the original estimates. The cumulative effect of our corrections is substantial, including a five percentage point reduction on average to Piketty Saez’s top 10% income share estimates prior to 1944. Our corrections change both the shape and magnitude of the U-curve. The curve is now shallower largely because the levelling depicted during World War II has been overstated vis-a-vis a more gradual decline attributable to the Depression. This finding has important implications for the interpretation of the fall and rise of inequality in the United States." @default.
