This paper has demonstrated that the factual claims one hears about what is happening to inequality in the world depend critically on value judgments embedded in standard measurement practices. Three such issues have been highlighted: whether one weights people equally or countries equally when assessing what is happening to global inequality, what weight one attaches to horizontal inequalities, and whether one focuses on relative inequality or absolute inequality in assessing the welfare impacts of globalization.
1 2 Brookings Trade Forum: 2004 data used. The pro-globalization side has tended to prefer “hard” quantitative data while the other side has drawn more eclectically on various types of evidence, both systematic and anecdotal or subjective. Differences in the data used no doubt account in part for the differing positions taken. However, since both sides have had access to essentially the same data, it does not seem plausible that such large and persistent differences in the claims made about what is happening to inequality in the world stem entirely from one side’s ignorance of the facts.
