The persistent character of inequality has been assessed using unit root and structural break test statistics for time series. Furthermore, the determinants of inequality persistence have been explored by implementing Bayesian model averaging techniques in a generalized linear model framework. Our results suggest that the wealth-to-income ratio displays a non-stationary behavior throughout the whole sample period. On the contrary, the Gini index of disposable income and the top 10% income share alternate between I(0) and I(1) regimes. We also find that, while a higher level of globalization increases the persistence of income inequality, it is inversely related to the levels of educational attainment and trade union membership. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.8 2024 SOCIOLOGY 32 / 220 = 0.145 2024 Q1 T1 SOCIAL SCIENCES, INTERDISCIPLINARY 31 / 273 = 0.114 2024 Q1 T1 0.933 2024 Arts and Humanities (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 Sociology and Political Science 2024 Q1 Social Sciences (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 Developmental and Educational Psychology 2024 Q2 6.3 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-5926-2166 Sanso-Navarro, Marcos Universidad de Zaragoza 4014 623 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
