- Abstract
This document is a book review for the Journal of Economic Inequality, reviewing three books on economic inequality and poverty. The reviewer appreciates the thoroughness of the book reviews and emphasizes the importance of understanding the causes of economic inequality and poverty. They suggest further exploration of regional case studies and within-region inequalities. The review discusses a book on economic inequality measurement and poverty, highlighting its coverage of various topics and empirical applications. Another book is discussed, which focuses on the use of behavioural microsimulation modelling in tax and transfer policy design and evaluation. The book provides insights into policy complexities and the importance of considering behavioural responses in economic modelling.
