SUMMARY:Department of Economics Seminar with Dr Cristina Tealdi, Heriot-Watt University
DESCRIPTION:Cristina's research interests lie in the areas of Labour Economics, Economics of Migration and Macroeconomics.    We analyse thirty years of Italian private sector employment data (1985-2018) to study the dynamics of rising earnings inequality. The total variance surged by 10 log points, with 55% occurring between industries, particularly in a few low-paid service sectors. Workers with low earnings ability showed increased likelihood of working in industries with low average firm premium (sorting) together with other low-earning workers (segregation). Strikingly, parallels with the US emerge. In both, inequality increased predominantly between industries and concentrated within a small number of sectors. Italy's increase primarily stems from low-paying sectors, diverging from the more balanced growth observed in the US across high-paying and low-paying industries. Our findings suggest that despite institutional differences similar underlying forces are at work. https://events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/department-of-economics-seminar-with-dr-cristina-tealdi-heriot-watt-university/
