Both methodological and theoretical problems of earlier studies are discussed and solutions are offered. Economic development, political-institutional and regional variables are also included inthe analyses. While further research is warranted, the results provide support for a World-System/Dependency perspective in understanding income inequality cross-nationally.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of World-Systems Research}, author={Beer, Linda}, year={1999}, month={Feb.}, pages={1–25} }
