 ;Olle Hammar -- personal website&nbsp\;The Swedish Income Distribution\, 1
 968–2016AbstractWe provide new evidence on income inequality levels and 
 trends in Sweden from 1968 to 2016. By combining data from tax and populat
 ion registers\, we construct a new dataset that includes the distribution 
 of pre-tax total and post-tax disposable income from labor\, business\, ca
 pital\, transfers and benefits\, for the full Swedish population since 196
 8. As such\, we can also compare income inequality for both individuals an
 d various household concepts. Our estimates extend Statistics Sweden’s o
 fficial inequality series based on full-population registers (available si
 nce 2011) by more than four decades. Our results indicate that the 1980s w
 as the decade with the lowest level of overall income inequality in Sweden
  (as measured by the Gini coefficient)\, while income inequality as measur
 ed by top income shares for the very top (top 0.001%) has increased steadi
 ly over the studied period.\n\nMore information about the event: https://w
