inequality site

[Doug Henwood]

[These aren't the clearest, most self-explanatory of graphics, but
still.... URL in last line.]

The University of Texas Inequality Project is a small research group
comprised predominantly of Ph.D. students at the LBJ School, with
representation from the Government Department and GSLIS as well as
continuing participation from several LBJ graduates and outside faculty.
Our mission is to measure changes in industrial earnings and wage
inequality, and to develop new ways to measure and evaluate industrial
change in the global economy.

Over the past year, with support from the LBJ School's Policy Research
Institute, the Ford Foundation and the Jerome Levy Economics Institute,
we have advanced our work with publications in <italic>Research in
Economic Inequality</italic>,  the <italic>Journal of Economic
Development</italic>, and the <italic>Review of Development Economics.
</italic>UTIP papers have been read at the American Philosophical Society
and at the American Economics Association meetings in New York.

Now, we would like to invite you to tour our new web-site, at the address
given below.  The site presents many of our measurements in graphical and
map form, and provides download access to seven of our working papers (so
far).  The web-site will incorporate many new features and additional
papers in the future, so if our work interests you please come back from
time to time.  Comments are most welcome, and please pass this invitation
along to friends or colleagues who may be interested.
