Top floor, going up

In the SMH today, John Garnaut discusses half a dozen papers on the super-rich, including research on whether CEOs are overpaid, and what has happened to top incomes (including my work with Tony Atkinson on top income shares).

    Hey Andrew,

    Did that story get it right? Are you a professor? If so, many congratulations.

    Ben, I’m afraid not — I’m a mere level C worker bee.

    Sir Tony is, however, a knight of the realm. But since he works on economic inequality rather than status inequality, I guess that’s ok.

    Indeed, Sir Tony is considered a serious contender for a Nobel one of these days. It’s a big name for you to coauthor a paper with, Andrew, and another step towards a well deserved chair.
