Does Globalization Make the World More Unequal?
Abstract
This chapter examines the impact of globalization on world inequality. It explores four dimensions: the components of world inequality, the sources of globalization, the degree to which individual nations actually globalized, and the historical time period. The chapter suggests that globalization may have mitigated the steep rise in income gaps between nations. The nations that gained the most from globalization are those poor ones that changed their policies to exploit it, whereas the ones that gained the least did not. The effect of globalization on inequality within nations has gone both ways, and not according to any simple correlation between the observed trends, or, for that matter, according to any simple theory. A commentary is also included at the end of the chapter.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
