Measuring income and wealth inequality -- Chapter 2. Impacts of the wealth divide. 330 $aAustralia is one of the wealthiest countries in the world and has long prided itself on being an egalitarian society. However, there is a growing divide between those with the most and those with the least. Income inequality has grown as the minimum wage and unemployment benefits have failed to match the rise in average earnings, resulting in a divergence between low-income earners and average Australian wage earners. Current estimates indicate that senior executive pay is 150 times greater than average weekly earnings. In addition to income disparity, wealth in Australia is also unequally distributed, with household wealth being heavily skewed to 'real assets' - essentially, property ownership. How are income and wealth inequality measured in Australia, and what are the impacts of this rising inequality? Should we be trying harder to bridge the gap between the haves and have-nots? 410 0$aIssues for the nineties (Balmain, N.S.W.) ;$vVolume 382. 606 $aIncome distribution$zAustralia 606 $aWealth$zAustralia 615 0$aIncome distribution 615 0$aWealth 676 $a339.20994 702 $aHealey$b Justin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812971403321 996 $aIncome and wealth inequality$93953547 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04781oam 22013334 450 001 9910958655903321 005 20250426110032.0 010 $a9786613830944 010 $a9781462316496 010 $a1462316492 010 $a9781452795539 010 $a1452795533 010 $a9781283518499 010 $a128351849X 010 $a9781451909807 010 $a1451909802 035 $a(CKB)3360000000444018 035 $a(EBL)3014550 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000940807 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11600657 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000940807 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10955707 035 $a(PQKB)11208309 035 $a(OCoLC)694141260 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3014550 035 $a(IMF)WPIEE2006267 035 $a(IMF)WPIEA2006267 035 $aWPIEA2006267 035 $a(EXLCZ)993360000000444018 100 $a20020129d2006 uf 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aFinancial Integration in Asia : $eEstimating the Risk-Sharing Gains for Australia and Other Nations /$fBenoît Mercereau 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aWashington, D.C. :$cInternational Monetary Fund,$d2006. 215 $a1 online resource (22 p.) 225 1 $aIMF Working Papers 300 $a"December 2006." 311 08$a9781451865271 311 08$a1451865279 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $a""Contents""; ""I.

Yet, financial integration is limited in Asia. This paper estimates how much Australia and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region would gain from greater financial integration. The results suggest that these welfare gains are large, which argues in favor of a progressive capital account liberalization across the region. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/267 606 $aFinance$zAsia 606 $aMonetary policy$zAsia 606 $aBalance of payments$2imf 606 $aCapital account$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aCurrent Account Adjustment$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aFinancial Instruments$2imf 606 $aFinancial integration$2imf 606 $aForeign assets$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aInstitutional Investors$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aInternational finance$2imf 606 $aInternational Investment$2imf 606 $aInvestment & securities$2imf 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$2imf 606 $aInvestments: Stocks$2imf 606 $aLong-term Capital Movements$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aNon-bank Financial Institutions$2imf 606 $aPension Funds$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aShort-term Capital Movements$2imf 606 $aStocks$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 607 $aHong Kong Special Administrative Region, People's Republic of China$2imf 615 0$aFinance 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 7$aBalance of payments 615 7$aCapital account 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aCurrent Account Adjustment 615 7$aEconomics 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aFinancial Instruments 615 7$aFinancial integration 615 7$aForeign assets 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aInstitutional Investors 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aInternational finance 615 7$aInternational Investment 615 7$aInvestment & securities 615 7$aInvestments, Foreign 615 7$aInvestments: Stocks 615 7$aLong-term Capital Movements 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aNon-bank Financial Institutions 615 7$aPension Funds 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aShort-term Capital Movements 615 7$aStocks 615 7$aWealth 700 $aMercereau$b Benoît$01816368 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958655903321 996 $aFinancial Integration in Asia$94372397 997 $aUNINA
