• "Earnings Inequality in Spain: Evidence from Social Security Data", with Stéphane Bonhomme.
  This version March 2012
  We use detailed information on labor earnings and employment from social security records to document the evolution of earnings inequality in Spain from 1988 to 2010. Earnings distributions experienced substantial fluctuations over the period, with inequality following a marked countercyclical pattern. The expansion of the early 2000s was associated with decreasing gaps between skill and age groups, and narrowing earnings differences between permanent and temporary workers. It was also characterized by a sharp increase in the share of the construction sector in the labor force accompanied by earnings increases in that sector. Together, these findings suggest that the fall in inequality was partly due to sustained demand for a particular type of labor. However, this model was fragile: the recession starting in 2007 has already seen a sharp increase in earnings inequality, in addition to the surge in unemployment.
