The following six chapters deal with cross- sectional comparisons, including the analysis of a labour market model of income distribution, the choice of transfer system, marginal indirect tax reform, and the distributional effects of inflation.  The next seven chapters are concerned with dynamic aspects of income distribution.  These examine the complex relationship between cross-sectional and lifetime distributions, relative income mobility, and the effects of income mobility on temporary and permanent poverty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dynamics of Inequality and Poverty\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for students and scholars of public sector economics, welfare economics and social economics, along with those directly concerned with policy formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'. . . this book is likely to be of most interest to specialists in income distribution and tax-transfer systems.
