Title: Another perspective on changes in international inequality from 1950 to 1980
Abstract: Real income data derived from the third phase of the International Comparisons Project are used to compute Theil's population-weighted indices of intercountry inequality for several years between 1950 and 1980. Contrary to some recently reported results, a substantial increase in inequality is observed. Internationally comparable consumption data indicate consumption inequality increased more than income inequality.
