| Tiivistelmä: | This paper uses income-tax data to explore the evolution of the highest incomes over virtually the entire 20th century. The income shares of the top 10, 5, 1, 0.5, 0.1, and 0.05 percent are analysed for the UK and the Netherlands. The "Pareto-Lorenz coefficient" is introduced for considering the top shares. The top shares of these two countries appear to undergo a strikingly similar and strong decline up to the mid-1970s. Since then British top shares have increased significantly, whereas Dutch shares remained basically unchanged. |
