In this article, published in the acclaimed Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Donald Tomaskovic-Devey, Are Skeie Hermansen, Trond Petersen and co-authors investigate rising income inequality and workplace dynamics. Their findings show that earnings inequality varies a great deal among countries in their levels and trends, but that the between-workplace share of wage inequality is growing in almost all countries examined. These inequalities are lower and grew less strongly in countries with stronger institutional employment protections and rose faster when these protections weakened. 

In this working paper, Are Skeie Hermansen and co-authors study the evolving isolation of higher earners from other employees. They do this using linked employer-employee data from eleven countries. Their findings show a growing workplace isolation of top earners' exposure to bottom earners. They also find that residential segregation is growing, with top earners and bottom earners increasingly living in different municipalities. The two are correlated and statistical modeling suggest that the primary causal effect is from work to residential segregation.
