Distribution of Income in Ireland

OECD Inequality

From OECD

This week in 2 classes (EC4004 and EC4333), I talked about Lorenz curves, Gini distributions, and income inequality.

The recent OECD report shows the inequality in who’s contributing to income tax receipts.

The chart shows Ireland is a very unequal country when it comes to paying tax– the rich pay most.
