个人收入的大部分变化都发生在顶层。本文提供了关于英国盈余分配的新证据。证据是新的，因为它提供了前10%内发生的事情的细节，涵盖了前1%和前0.5%等群体。其目的是从历史的角度来确定最近最高收入的增长，并进行国际比较。证据是新的，因为它涵盖了整个战后时期，允许与20世纪50年代的“黄金时代”进行对比。
Much of the change in individual earnings has occurred at the top. This paper provides new evidence about the earnings distribution in the UK. The evidence is new in that it provides detail about what has happened within the top 10%, covering groups such as the top 1% and the top 0.5%. The aim is to set the recent rise in top earnings in historical perspective, and to make international comparisons. The evidence is new in that it covers the whole of the postwar period, allowing a contrast to be drawn with the ‘golden age’ of the 1950s.
