This project investigates whether the rise in income inequality over the last three decades can be explained in part by the growth of corporate restructuring. Internal job ladders within firms may have been weakened by changes such as the growth of out-sourcing of employment, privatization of public sector work, the de-regulation of service industries, mergers, and a shift in the balance of power towards shareholders and away from managers. The research will test the importance of these restructuring changes by comparing changes in earnings inequality across 115 cities between 1970 and 2000 using decennial Census data. Changes in corporate restructuring (e.g., increases in subcontracting industries) are expected to be correlated with increases in wage inequality across the four panels.

该项目调查过去三十年收入不平等的加剧是否可以部分由企业重组的增长来解释。 公司内部的工作阶梯可能因就业外包增长、公共部门工作私有化、服务业放松管制、合并以及权力平衡向股东倾斜和管理者倾斜等变化而被削弱。 该研究将使用十年一次的人口普查数据，比较 1970 年至 2000 年间 115 个城市收入不平等的变化，从而检验这些重组变化的重要性。 企业重组的变化（例如，分包行业的增加）预计将与四个小组工资不平等的加剧相关。
