The impact of globalisation on inequality in a small regional economy: South Australia 1845-1925.

全球化对收入不平等的影响目前是许多人非常关注的问题。然而，全球化并不是一个新现象。本研究考察了全球力量对19世纪和世纪初南澳工资和个人财富不平等的影响。虽然其他研究采用了有问题的比较方法，从总体上考察了贸易对不平等的影响，但本研究通过直接估算一个小型区域经济体在较长时期内收入和财富不平等的变化及其与工资、商品和资产价格变化的关系，实现了概念上的飞跃。

The impact of globalisation on income inequality is currently of great concern to many. Globalisation, however, is not a new phenomenon. This study examines the effect of global forces on wage and personal wealth inequality in South Australia in the 19th and early 20th century. While other studies have examined the impact of trade on inequality at an aggregate level, using questionable comparisons, this study represents a conceptual leap forward by directly estimating changes in income and wealth inequality, and their association with changes in wages, commodity and asset prices over an extended period in a small regional economy.
