N2 - The opening up of access to data from the
Multi]Agency Data Integration Project provides
an opportunity to fill a number of
research gaps on inequality in Australia.
Our paper begins the external validation of
these data, focusing on what the data can
tell us about the distribution, dynamics and
determinants of income in Australia. It has the
potential to shed new light on these aspects,
but the dataset should be used with caution,
taking into account some key limitations,
including incomplete linkage and more limited
income information for those who do not
complete a tax return.
