Earnings Inequality in Hungary: A Comparative Analysis of Household and Enterprise Survey Data

Author

  • Pudney, Stephen

Abstract

This study examines trends in the distribution of gross earnings in Hungary since 1988, using official household budget surveys and enterprise-based earnings surveys. We find a significant growth in inequality since 1988, to levels comparable with western Europe. There is little evidence of a serious discrepancy between the two data sources used.
