This paper analyzes and documents a new long-term income inequality series for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela based on dynamic social tables with four occupational groups. This enables the calculation of comparable Overall (four groups) and Labor Ginis (three groups) with their between- and within-group components. The main findings are the absence of a unique inequality pattern over time; country outcomes characterized by trajectory diversity and level divergence during industrialization and by commonality and convergence post-1980; the occurrence of inequality-leveling episodes with different timing and length; and significant changes in trends, but also evidence indicating persistence. The income-inequality dataset is included as supplementary material.

揭示拉丁美洲长期收入不平等背后的多样性和复杂性：1920-2011


本文根据四个职业群体的动态社会表，分析并记录了阿根廷、巴西、智利、哥伦比亚、墨西哥和委内瑞拉的新的长期收入不平等系列。这使得能够计算可比较的总体（四组）和劳动基尼（三组）及其组间和组内组成部分。主要发现是随着时间的推移不存在独特的不平等模式；国家成果的特点是工业化期间的轨迹多样性和水平差异，以及 1980 年后的共性和趋同性；不同时间和长度的不平等拉平事件的发生；以及趋势的重大变化，但也有表明持续存在的证据。收入不平等数据集作为补充材料包含在内。
