Abstract

This paper, the first of a two‐part series, surveys the literature in the field of income and wage distributions. The author divides work in this area into two schools: the theoretic‐statistical school, and the socio‐logical school. Within each of these groups he reviews leading contributions. He then examines the work of Tinbergen, which, the author feels, fits into neither of the older classifications; rather, Tinbergen approaches the distribution of income as a problem in analyzing the supply of and demand for various attributes, such as intelligence, physical strength, ability to get along with people, etc. In conclusion, the author points out areas which he feels need further work. The paper is based upon the author's book in Danish, Indkomst‐og lonfordelinger.
