Inequality and Globalization
Prof. Jacques Silber
Bar-Ilan University
What type of inequality should we take a look at when analyzing world inequality and how did
inequality vary over time? Does globalization refer to the international convergence of prices
or real wages, to the increase in the volume of trade, the decline in transportation costs and
trade restrictions or to the rise in information flows (social globalization)? What was the impact
on inequality of technological change and institutional factors, such as the decline in the union
coverage, in centralized collective bargaining and labor market regulations? Empirical evidence
will be presented on these various issues, in particular on the impact of globalization on inequality.
