note = "Funding Information: In writing this Introduction, we have drawn heavily on the Handbook chapters. This will be evident from the frequency of cross-references, although we have tried to stop short of the point at which such references become tedious to the reader. We are most grateful to Rolf Aaberge, Facundo Alvaredo, Andrew Berg, Andrea Brandolini, Daniele Checchi, Pierre-Andr{\'e} Chiappori, Andrew Clark, Koen Decancq, Jean-Yves Duclos, Francesco Figari, Michael F{\"o}rster, Marc Fleurbaey, Stephen Jenkins, Salvatore Morelli, Dominique Meurs, Brian Nolan, Jonathan Ostry, Alari Paulus, Sophie Ponthieux, Thomas Piketty, Victor Rios-Rull, Wiemer Salverda, Tim Smeeding, Frederick Solt, Holly Sutherland, Istv{\'a}n T{\'o}th, Alain Trannoy, and Daniel Waldenstr{\"o}m for their very helpful comments on the draft of the Introduction, but none of them should be held responsible in any way for its contents. We thank Maarit Kivilo for her help with the bibliography. Atkinson's research for the Introduction was carried out as part of the EMoD program supported by INET at the Oxford Martin School.",
